**still a work in progress** I am currently compiling a list of all butt-stocks and their weights. I will post my list here today. Also, please feel free to post any that you are interested in seeing on the list. I'm starting with the obvious ones first.
*(includes weight of tube and buffer) - I will subtract the weight of them when I can **(owners reporting variations in weight) ***(lightest on the list) |

Quoted: I'm not planning to include anything but the stock. In most cases, the tube and nut will weigh the same and the lock plate is preferential enough that I don't think it ties into this particular subject.Does this include the buffer tube, lock plate and nut? To be able to throw the ACE products in there, you will have to...they have their own version of a tube, nut and lock-plate. I will make an asterisk with a note on the ACE products as to why it weighs so much in relation to the others. |

Gen. 2 SOPMOD: 11.5 oz
MOE Mil-Spec: 8.1 oz IMOD Mil-Spec: 9.7 oz These two were strange: Older black Mil-Spec ACS w/ Magpul QD swivel mount: 14.1 oz One month old FDE Mil-Spec ACS without QD mount: 14.5 oz I have no clue.... 
ETA: I can weigh both a commercial and Mil-Spec CTR as well if you need them. |

ETA: I can weigh both a commercial and Mil-Spec CTR as well if you need them. I've included the first, updated the second, and made a note about the weird ACS weights. I would certainly appreciate any weights you can provide. Real people are always better than spec pages. |

Both .Mil and commercial CTR weighed exactly the same at 9.0 oz. They are both about 3 years old.
Would be interested if a newer one would be any different. ETA: the .Mil CTR does have the stock slim recoil pad, as well as all of the other Magpul stocks weighed. |

Thanks this is awesome. Can we get a plain M4 Milspec and A2 in there as well? Shit.... Give me a minute.... 
ETA: BCM M4 stock (.MIL of course): 6.7 oz Spike's M4 (.Mil): 7.2 oz No name commercial M4: 7.1 oz Sorry, no A2. I think that's about all I can contribute. |
may need to be re-thought just a bit though. |
The following info is from this thread http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_12/518631_.html
As a 'system' the weights are: Fixed full lenght stocks A1 25 oz A2 24.5 oz Cav Arms C1 (A1 length) 20 oz Telestocks CAR 14.6 oz (Mils sec tube, standard buffer) M4 Type: 17.0 (Mil spec tube, standard buffer). M4 Type: 14.3 (Commercial tube, standard buffer) Fixed short stocks (telestock buffer & spring): Stubby: 14.6 (with standard buffer) Sully: 17.75 (with standard buffer) If you know the weight of the buffer/spring/tube you can subtract it from these to get your answers. No list would be complete without them. |
