I like it. I like it a lot.
Makes the gun feel very solid.


After shooting my AR for years using a Magpul Carbine stock I decided to try something different.

Started looking for a fixed A2 style stock but determined I didn't want to change out the buffer tube, spring, etc...to make it work.

Further searching resulted in a Fixed Carbine Stock that would maintain the existing look of the rifle - but with the benefits of a fixed stock.

The only downside to this venture was the fact the stock was shorter than an A2 by 1-3/4 inches.

After kicking around the idea I ended up searching for and buying a commercial version for $39 (I figured if it didn't work out I could always unload it on the EE for a billion dollars) from One Shot Tactical.

Installation was straight forward and the results are as shown below. Hardest part was figuring out if my buffer tube was commercial or military.

Rifle with new Gen 3 Magpul 20/5 Magazines.

I had started to look for the .80 inch spacer in anticipation of having to lengthen the pull but hadn't had any luck prior to the stock appearing via Canada Post.

Much to my surprise, after installing it and presenting the gun to my shoulder I found my nose just touching the charging handle (which is just the way I was taught).
This was the same position my adjustable stock was set to when shooting iron sights.

Fit and feel is standard Magpul which is great.

Might still go for longer spacer but it is a "want" and not a "need".

20 round magazines add to the compact feel of this standard 14.5" barrel gun as does the new "rubbery" Moe Grip +

P.S. Butt stock end plate differs between the fixed version and collapsible version (i.e. you can't swap spacers out since they are different).

Price was reasonable and I like the end result.

Looks great with the 5/20 mags. Where did you buy the spacer from? Isn't the fixed stock compatible with the PRS Extended Rubber Butt Pad?

Haven't been able to find a sponsor dealer that carries the required spacer. I believe you are correct about the PRS compatible configuration required for the MOE Fixed Carbine Stock.

Looks really awesome man! Too many people of all different sizes will eventually use my rifle, so a fixed stock isn't in my future. But this, this looks really awesome. Also, the 20 round mag looks pretty legit, I like it a lot.

Good job!
 
I swapped out the all black furniture on my M&P15 for a FDE set I picked up from the EE including a fixed stock. I like it—and with the less-than-generous eye relief of the ACOG the fixed length works well. It did seem shorter than I expected, but the K2 grip with reduced grip angle feels quite natural with it.

Looks great Master-G. I'm going to have to buy one for myself. How long is the fixed stock compared to where an adjustable CTR stock might sit?

Measuring across the top from the rear of the castle nut to the end of butt pad is 215mm, or about 8.5". I'd say it's maybe three clicks out on a CTR. It feels shorter to me than it looks.
