stock choices

[TEXASforLIFE]

do you favor 1 type of stock (not brand) over another depending on barrel lengths or just use what ever there is? most probably use carbine for their flexibility and some just like fixed lengths of rifle. within those choices you can only use buffers that only work in those systems..................well, partially true if you know the combos in the ar15 and ar10 parts including the a5's.

I like these three the best

Leave it to the magpul not to show.

I would say it deepens on the purpose of the rifle. Its hard to beat the Honey badger style if you want ultimate minimal size.

As a general "Carbine" I like the original Colt version (think XM 177E2 or DOE)
Its sleeker than the M4

The type of stock depends on the configuration of the platform being built.

98.6% of the time it's Magpul with the rest a couple Strike Industries.

 

[USMC6094]

I run Magpul on some, B5 on some, USGI on some, SBA on some.

Depends on what you're building, just be patient and work with the rifle/carbine/pistol......

Patience will pay off

I prefer B5 opmod and bravo stocks on ARs. I also own a few Fab Defense stocks that work well on some configurations.

remember this isn't about brands, just types (rifle/carbine/folders). i don't have any uppers that'll work with folders as in fal's, brownells 180's or sig's

i use many brands from cheap to not so cheap and magpul is 1 of the least i buy.

98.6% of Magpuls are CTRs, a couple MOEs on Tier 3-4s, with the rest ACS-Ls on a DMR, and major-cal builds.

But one Gen 1 PRS on my CMP match rifle build.

Magpul CTRs aren't the same as they were 15 years ago. Back then they locked up TIGHT, today's iterations, not so much.

No matter who made the buffer tube.

Magpul has gotten complacent, just like every other Gubment contractor.

Just because they supply the troops, doesn't mean our troops best interests are considered.

That goes way beyond furniture!

Favorite stocks on guns

For pistol brace i prefer these two, especially the gearhead tailhook but they are kinda hard to find now.

 

[PieterCoetzee]

If its about type, dont discount a LAW Tactical folding adapter for your AR if you want to make it more compact. There are other similar brands but I only trust Law Tactical

 

[SimonRL]

Got one of these with my Zulu 2 and quite like them. I ordered some for a couple of other ARs. Good options on QD and sling atta meant and the cheek rest is pretty good.

I forgot about that one, they are nice stocks, their grips are nice too.

I like the grips too. I grabbed a couple of them as well.
