Original or copy of early Ar15 m16 buttstock

Where in Canada do you think I would find one of these? Or something close to it.

I want to mount on my AR180B using an adopter from Stormwerx. I will need a buffer tube also. Want to go for that cold war look.

Try a WTB ad on the EE. I'm sure there are a lot of them floating around in various boxes, bins and drawers across Canada.

 

[OldOrange]

Thanks Cobra. What do you think a fair price for the stock and tube would be?

Good question. I'd think somewhere around $150ish to $200 tops all in for a complete set including the buffer and spring, but you don't need those parts... maybe $100-$150 for what you need? TNA has the whole cheap Leapers/UTG kit in stock for $155 brand new.

I'm not sure what you're after. There are a good number of A2 stocks in Canada, but the stock you pictured is a pre-1970 A1 stock. That would be practically non-existent in Canada, as interest in the AR15 didn't become significant until the late 70s. I never see any truly early parts up here.

From his initial post I assumed he was open to A1 or A2, as he didn't appear to know much about them. There are also the old CQ311 stocks hiding here and there...

True north arms has what you are looking for I believe .

 

[OldOrange]

Thanks everyone. That Leapers A2 kit should do nicely. The 180b came with an ace folder and I want to change it up.

I’d be worried that LOP will be too long.

 

[OldOrange]

yeah I looked at that, it is a little longer than the ACE stock I have now which I find cramped TBH.

If you have a 180b and want the look, I don't think you can do better than the Stormwerx kit for an original stock. It definitely locks up solid.

I know someone that put an A2 stock on his WK and man it's weird. If that's what you want though, go for it.

The folder kit adds a little bit to the LOP over the original, but I find it works for me fine. I'm 6'-4" though, might not be ideal for everyone. Not sure how that compares to the folder you already have...

 

[OldOrange]

Looks great Deadman! Good to hear its locks up solid. Thats def the look I am going for.

 

[Leg]

That looks pretty good but what’s the length of pull? A little? Looks to be well over an inch from the photo.

 

[Goo98]

the A1 stock has a shorter length of pull than the A2 but dang i dont think it will help much...

Yes about 1 1/2" longer than original. I don't know how that compares to the folder on the OP's rifle though.

If an A2 stock were the choice, it would be about the same LOP as mine if the tube to stock adapter is similar thickness.
