Hey guys, hopefully quick question, whats the best place to find an old style CAR stock?

Like this:





Found a few on ebay around $50 with tube/buffer/spring but they are commercial, not mil spec tubes/stocks.  Any input/directions?

Don't want to spend a fortune, but I need one for my XM177E2 build.

Thanks,

I get mine from Rguns, they are good quality and seem to be a pretty good replica.  I tried the ones from model1sales but it felt very cheap and used a commercial tube.

M&A Parts has one that's very similar to the original Colt N-1 stock with the ribs on the side.

ETA - oh, didn't notice the two seperate links.  Hmm, mayhap I'll get the stock alone and the 2 pos tube from nodak....

Buy one with the two downwards ribs on sides and dremel them off.

Model1sales has the fiberite stocks without ribs like the first post shows. Not sure what tube they use though.

Essential's milspec aluminum stocks are very nice also, but quite a bit more than the plastic ones. They have a black powdercoat finish which looks a lot like the vinyl on the early Colt stocks. I have one along with a Nodak 2-position tube to go on my XM177E2 build.
