Collapsible stocks

Posted: 3/5/2006 12:32:27 PM EDT

What sort of collapsible AR stocks are available in the UK ? I can see a zillion for sale in America from $60-200+, and endless air-soft clone parts in the UK, but little or no real AR stocks here.

Also, when you replace a stock is it best to also replace the buffer assembly/action spring/receiver extension ?

How much is a magpull Stock, RRP? say $ 225

So that converts to £ 225 (using the standard rate of bob exchange)
Then add the BAT (BOB ADDED TAX)

Total should be Between £300 - £450

Bobby's bargain of the week!!

And then he'll sell all the fitting kits as spare parts.....

One of the shooters this weekend had a SIR system on his AR, purchased from 'The Beast'.
Don't know how much he paid, or what year he ordered it

, but it was avery heavy AR with the Bull barrel as well!

I think he listened to the 'multiple' advice to make the barrel go on a weight loss programme!

You cannot go wrong, as a first step, with any of the standard collaspable stocks that are made by the major manufacturers. You can always sell it later if you want to upgrade a VLTOR / SOCCOM or MAGPUL.

There was a guy at Sennybridge the other week with one that looked just like it in 6.8SPC. One of Bobs with the same rail system. He was using homeloads though.
