Collapsable stock changeover

[iamcanadianeh]

I've got a Stag with an A2 stock on it that I want to change over to a collapsable version. I'm unfamiliar with ARs, but other than the actual stock can I just use the parts in the stock and just get an extension tube? Where can I get an extension tube if they're still available?

You'll want a carbine buffer too. Try these vendors for availability of receiver extensions.

Be sure to get the right tube for the stock you want (mil spec. or commercial dia.)

What about the 6 position and 4 position tubes? Do all collapsible stocks fit either or?

 

[zykopat]

Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but I think any stock can fit a 4 or 6 hole tube that has the proper dia. The only difference between the two kinds is the number (and location) of holes made in the tube's spine. (from a pic I've seen in the AR book vol. 2)

Yes. The only thing to look out for is commercial vs milspec diameter.

Having said all that, try for a 6-pos. More adjustable.

To replace the A2 fixed stock with collapsible stock you need the following (aside from collapsible stock)

- buffer tube matching your stock - commercial / milspec
- castle nut
- receiver extension plate
