| Other than genuine Colt are there any aftermarket A2 stocks shipping with metal (Alu) buttplates and trapdoors? |

Quoted:
For some reason I thought everything was aluminum. Thanks all for the responses. A reasonable assumption to make. A lot of the A2 stocks currently available do have plastic trapdoor assemblies instead of aluminum, so that is something to be careful of, if that matters to you. It does matter to me, so I'm careful when I look for A2 stocks, that they do in fact have the metal hardware. That's why I mentioned the DPMS at Sportsman's Guide. |

I had that bookmarked, thanks again. |

Recently put together an AR rifle using an FN M16A2 upper having 1/7 FN barrel and matching FN bolt with marked carrier.
Picked up a complete butt stock assembly with tube, buffer and spring from a guy who was parting out a COLT built AR15A2. All the parts were in near mint condition and fit perfectly on the DPMS lower receiver. The door on the genuine COLT butt stock is made of plastic just like the plate itself. Seems odd that many of the civilian commercially offered AR15A2 have metal doors while mil-spec (according to army TM) is made of plastic. |

Any recommendations on where to find a Colt or FN buttstock? IIRC, gunny's surplus has them. $20 with buttplate and sling swivel Find another vendor, brother. http://www.bbb.org/dayton/business-reviews/clothing-retail/gunnys-surplus-in-union-oh-9008 |

I was considering ordering from them. I only delayed because shipping for a $20 stock is $15! Talk about an ass raping!

I was considering ordering from them. I only delayed because shipping for a $20 stock is $15! Talk about an ass raping! x2. I was about to order a stock and bolt cam pin, but hesitated when I saw the shipping charges. Then I saw the link to the Better Business Bureau rating, and that sealed the decision. I'll look elsewhere.... |
