Some people think it looks funny since a telescoping stock is usally used for a carbine type weapon. But other than that your good to go.

You can place a collapsable stock on a 20" rifle. I am yet to fire one in this config however I suspect it may kick more than with the standard stock being that you will have to use a carbine buffer.
Here is recent post showing one setup like you are thinking about: www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=118&t=267979 Hope this helps. CSP |

I have seen 20" rifles with telescoping stocks. I think there was even a picture thread for them a while back.
The buffer and spring are not related to the barrel length, they are related to the buffer tube. Edit: Mr. Wilson beat me to it. |

The standard issue M16 (C7) for the Canadian Army uses a 20" upper with a telestock. Does look funny, but you can't argue with that. Look at any pics of Canadians in Afghanistan, there you go.

Most tele-stocks you will see here on 20" AR is the LMT SOPMOD stock.

My issue rifle is a 20" and since we wear big huge bulky life jackets on top of our Body Armor at work, collapsible stocks have become popular. They are also very popular with the smaller statured Rangers. All our full time boating officers have collapsible stocks.
They do make the gun feel more muzzle heavy when you are used to a 16" but they work just fine!!!!!! |

16" 18" 20" - doesn't matter... the telestock is more for adjustment to heavy clothing, etc. anyone using a 24" would likely not use or need one, simply since they are likely used for prone, varmint, or bag shooting.

A 20" rifle with a government profile barrel and telestock is actually pretty nice.
It's light and handles well. WIZZO |
