[ARCHIVED THREAD] - 6 position TeleStock, they rattle?

Posted: 1/2/2006 12:49:19 PM EDT

I was reading around on one of the threads and someone said that the
telestocks rattle. They suggested an aftermarket one that was solid.

Are the factory ones really that cheaply made? Specifically, BushMaster or RockRiverArms.

What was the name and website of the solid aftermarket telestocks?(compatible with BM, RRA)

Thanks, Frank

I have been looking at the Magpul M93 stock. It is suppose to be a stronger platform than the 6 position stocks, and have a more consistant cheek weld in any position.

But you better hurry, 'cause they don't make the 93 anymore....

I have 4 M4 stocks, and one older style CAR stock. All of mine have a little bit of play in them.

Are you saying that MagPul is gaffing off the M93B stocks?

My RRA has a bit of play, but it doesn't "rattle"

My Vltor has less "rattle" than most standard 4 or 6 position stocks. In fact, none. A little (very little) "play", but no rattle.

I had a oly arms six pos. CAR stock. Rattled a little...

Now I have a LMT SOPMOD/Crane stock, and the thing is solid. No rattle or play whatsoever

I have a RRA and a Colt. They look the same but the RRA has a lot of play.

MagPul has ceased production of the M93 series. They are no longer being made in favor of a new and improved design yet to be released. This came directly from Rich at MagPul and was posted here. I'm pretty sure its still posted in the MagPul forum on the Industry board.

From MagPul

"The M93 is being replaced by two stocks the CTR and the UBR.

The CTR does have a prototype and some people who know Simon Tan have seen, held and played with this stock. The CTR is a simple design and we should be able to post some photos soon.

The UBR which is the DIRECT replacement for the M93 (Does everything the M93 does but better), is being designed from the internal components outwards so even though much of it has been designed we still do not know exactly what it will look like. We should have prototypes by the shot show."

The only problem I have with my RRA 6 position stock is that sometimes I catch beard hairs in the space between the sliding part and the buffer tube.

Otherwise it's great and basically silent.

My RRA rattles very little and only when its fully extended.

My 6 pos RRA used to wobble around a little until I put it in a vise and took a heat gun to it.

Nice and snug now.

This is for M4 or other stocks with the nylon type plastic ( not the alum. stocks) that are loose on the buffer tube .
Take the stock off the tube and put it in a vise with a rag around it to keep from marring it up . Squeese it in the vise but don't go crazy , while it is in the vise take a hair dryer and blow through the stock heating it up , do both ends , this only takes about 1min all together , then ck it for fit on the tube , repeat if nessesary to get desired fit .
You then have a stock that fits nice and tight no rattling ! IceMan_1

Mine were nice and tight and through use they do get a little play.

my sling swivel rattles

If you don't mind doing so, you can take some vise grips and latch them on to the bottom of the buffer tube and bend out the fence around the bottom of the tube ever so slightly. This will eliminate a lot of play and make the stock much more solid. Just don't do it too close to the receiver or when you extend the stock, you will see the teeth marks that the vice grips will eat into the buffer tube. I did it and it works great. The stock is slightly harder to pull out now, but there is no play when it is extended to the 2nd or 3rd positions (which I shoot with).
