My first build is nearly complete; the only part I haven’t decided on is what stock to go with.  Since I live in NJ I need a fixed stock.  I was planning on going with a Sully stock, but the Sully stock plus a sling mount end plate is pretty expensive.  

The only other option I could come up with for a shorter length stock is an entry length stock with a buttstock extender.  Has anyone ever tried this setup?  If so, how’d you like it?

I like the looks of the buttstock extender on Fulton Armory’s website as it has QD sockets; however, I think I’d rather have a 1” extender, instead of 2”.  Anyone have one of these?  Also, does anyone know who the manufacturer is for this part?

The only buttstock extenders I know of are this one from Fulton Armory and the KAC (expensive) and DPMS (no QD sockets) ones.  Are there any other manufacturers who make buttstock extenders that I should consider?  

Are there any other options for shorter length stocks (besides pinning a collapsible stock) that I haven’t thought of?

Thanks

Choate makes a 1 1/4" extension that should fit on an entry stock.




That or pin a collapsible stock at the length of your choice.

Thanks Gamma.  I hadn't thought of an extended buttpad.  

Has anyone tried this and can confirm that the extended buttpad will fit the entry length stock?  Does the extended buttpad require longer screws?

AFAIK the entry stocks accept standard buttplates so this should work.  Uses the same screws, the screw holes are recessed.
