Quote HistoryQuoted: Damn. I'm interested. Any word on the material strength, is it A1 or A2 equivalent? That IS the topic here I'd have to think it's modern polymer. The question is just which modern polymer? Hopefully it's Zytel like the A2 stocks. I can see from the pictures that there is no polymer web between the foam and the buffer tube area as with the A2 and CS stocks, so that kinda sucks. But they are a near perfect copy of the A1 stocks. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Let me correct the order for you. Added Length of the stock, #1 by FAR. Increased diameter of the barrel #2. . . . . Distant Third, the grip. I, and many others, like the grip. Many others don't mind it. It is also the easiest and cheapest feature to swap out if needed. The barrel profile has to be lived with unless one wants to swap out the upper. The stock can be switched out, but you need the right screw and you need to find a stock. A1 length A2 material stocks are almost unobtanium. The grips never mattered one way or the other to me. I started on the M16a2 at Parris Island and on again off agin in my marine infantry days but later in the guard carried A1 various A1s, some still with original sights and handguards and some partially upgraded with A2 handguards. That CS stock I would buy. I swapped my RRA A2 stock for a very nice A1 at a shooting clinic for high power. I had a new hardback coat and the A2 and the coat were just too much for me. They really helped me out putting an old army stock from a club gun on my rifle. Yea it’s not as tough but it’s holding up for now. |

...just found this thread.
I recently purchased my first A2 stock and like it a lot. It's about right for me, but others (wife/kids) have a harder time with the length. The A1 shorter length may or may not even fix that problem, but I still want to get one of these repros to try out. I put my name on the notification list. Curiously...when I saw that my A2 was a little long for others, I immediately went down that A1 rabbit hole and found out about the quality issue. My A2 that I have is very well made. Sturdy, solid, nice trap door, storage compartment, etc. I got it for $25 (complete kit) on a local gun part website, and it's an unused takeoff...so not sure what brand it is at all but it's very nice. I'm hoping these Linemounts are the same or similar quality. Pic: A2 stock on my work-in-progress...it's a sweet shooter, but it's not a very accurate A2 build yet...detachable carry handle.

But, he did say they are about to drop Type D stocks that are foam filled. Plastic buttplates. |

Combining the two is a sure winner. Nostalgia…for sure. A couple years ago, I pieced together a replica of my first AR, a Bushy post ban Shorty AK. For a while since then, I’ve wanted to have a Colt Sporter Light Weight 6530 like I did 20 years ago. I missed an opportunity to get a really nice one a year or so ago and regretted it. Well fast forward to a month or so ago, I found one on the EE minus the correct stock. In my ignorance, I had no idea how hard/expensive the CS stocks were. (That’ll be easy nobody wants one of those) I actually I thought it was an A2 but thinking back/ doing some research I remember the little CS logo. I easily could have kept the gun how the other guy configured it with a collapsible stock…but no I HAD to have it the way I originally did. Anyway, it was expensive, certainly more than I wanted to spend for sure, but I got one. Side note: In my quest to find one, a little bird told me that he’s working on importing a whole mess of them from Canada…no eta, but he’s really excited to get them and a bunch of C7 uppers. |

So this Linemount (no trap door) has a rubber buttpad that doesn’t have any hard plastic for the screw to butt against. The taper area is just the rubber. I haven’t messed with an A1 In years, and this is more of an XM if I recall, but this crap won’t last. Once that rubber gives there will be nothing to retain the stock.
Not buying anymore of these. Made in Taiwan it sure is. |

They just can’t seem to get their shit together. Slow shipping, selling oos items, etc. |

I'm not allowed to buy from either source so I can't compare them.
