| I've been looking at parts, my sweetheart and I want to do a build and i was going through parts for her. She selected a pardus stock from colemantyler.com and I'm just curious if its a good stock or not, I've done searches but cant find anything on it. At any rate, it looks pretty cool. Thanks! |

I have been curious about these as well. If I'm not mistaken, I think that these are made in Israel. There was an image on here at one point (dunno if it was one of Lumpy's pics or not) of an IDF troop with this stock on his carbine. The Pardus stocks are similar in design to the other 2 aftermarket carbine stocks made in Israel. They're likely all made in the same Kibbutz. |
| I believe that the DPMS website says it will work on a commercial or mil spec receiver extension pardus link |
I am not sure, I'm at work and they don't let me bring my guns here so I can't take a measurement for a while. I would be leary of buying a stock that claims to be able to fit on either without two versions if that is the case. |

In the link posted above, if you enlarge that pic, it says that it comes with "buffer, spring, plate, nut, and your choice of standard or milspec buffer tube". Its not clear whether it comes with the tube, or you make a choice which tube you have already. No tubes are pictured, but it leads you to believe that you get one with it. ETA: Yes, the milspec tubes are slightly smaller. I have tried a commercial stock on a milspec tube, and while it does work, you do have noticeably more wobble with this setup. It is enough of a difference that my milspec stock wouldn't fit over the commercial tube. |

I just finished assembling an Ar from coleman tyler with a pardus stock, I like it. It does come with the tube and fits nicely. Ive shot m4 stocked rifles and think the pardus fits me better. Its mechanically sound, and my preference that doesnt mean it will be everyones choice. |
| The A2 stock uses a different tube than the collapsable stocks. You will have to get a new buffer tube for the new stock. As far as military vs. commercial for the carbine stock it depends on which stock you want to use. Many/most aftermarket stocks (Vltor, LMT, CTR, etc) require the military dimension tube. |
