I'm torn and would like some input. Should I put an A2 stock or collapsible?

If I were going to go to a fixed stock, I'd go A1. The A2s are just too long.

Ok, thats what I meant then, I want the shorter stock, just got them confused, thanks

If you want shorter, that's what the collapsables are for.

Well, I'm something of an anachronism I guess, but I started off with a fixed collapsable stock which I didn't mind that much, switched to an A2, which I found to be more comfortable than the previous fixed stock. I also enjoyed the ability to carry cleaning gear in the trapdoor compartment. I also eventually picked up a four-position CAR stock, which I tried out a couple of times, but couldn't quite convince myself that I liked it more than my A2. So I presently have an A2-stocked carbine. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

I'd also go the A1 route. I've thought about building myself a dissy and if\when I do I will either go with an A1 or a Vltor.

Dang, I must be the only person that doesn't have a problem with the length of A2 stocks.

Hell, I like 'em and I'm working on aquiring parts for another rifle with an A2 stock on it.

However, I voted for the collapsible because a 16" carbine shouldn't have a fixed stock.

I'm all for A2 stock but than again I lik'em better than telestocks. Its what fits you the best. But a dissy does look good with a telestock. I'm gonna build one of those next.

I like the A2 stock too for my own self.
