I'm still picking out parts for the smaller/lighter/cheaper AR project. The goal is to build a quality, low-weight, near-subgun-sized AR with as little cash as is reasonable and no NFA paperwork.
It's stacking up like this:
Lower recvr: Mega (forged post-ban)
Upper recvr: Model One Lightweight CAR A4 w/ picatinny gas block (Yes, I'm willing to wait for it)
Lower parts kit:DPMS
Optics: OKO 4W
Bolt/Carrier: ?
Buttstock:
This is where the indecision is, because of weight and overall length.
My understanding is that the RRA Tac Entry stock is about 2.5 inches shorter than an A2 stock. I am one of those "6 foot 2 inch monkey armed people" that Troy refers to. I figure that by mounting the optics way forward, this won't be a problem.
The other option is to pick up a collapsible telestock and pick a setting to pin it in. If I did this, I might wind up pinning it in position 2 instead of position one.
Does anyone know how much the RRA Tac Entry stock weighs with tube and buffer? What about the average 4-position stock?
Which would you choose?
