A1 stock on m4 variant

Brent · Jan 13, 2015

I am debating on putting an a2 stock my my m4 variant. This would be largely because I plan to build a 20 inch precision upper in the near future. Any reason NOT to do it? I do like the adjustable lop choices with me six position and I rarely extend it fully so that's one negative I can see. Should I just build another lower? Thanks

Title meant to say a2*

I had an A2 stock on my colt carbine for a bit. Very comfortable to shoot and looks neat.

Heck yeah, go for both, put it on and build another lower. One can never have enough lowers.

With rifle length buffer tube one supposedly gets a better recoil impulse from the longer spring... Personally I feel like they shoot a little softer.

Everyone should have a A2. :thumbsup:

Get another lower. You'll end up doing that anyway, save yourself some time and trouble.

You know me, I can't stand having an upper that doesn't have a dedicated lower to compliment it.

It is the only way to roll. :cool:

My plan was to initially buy 1 lower and 2 uppers, then always buy an even number of each after that. Never catch up that way.

No reason I can think of to not do it. I have a fixed stock on mine because I carried an A2 while deployed. Simply a matter of what is comfortable/familiar.

I started out thinking that, but I just couldn't stand not being able to pick it up and roll out with it ready to go. :thumbsup:

You may want to consider the Magpul PRS for your precision rifle needs. I have one on an Armalite AR-10 that's feels great and gets me in the perfect position for the scope.

I you dedicate to a lower for your 20'', also look at magpul's PRS. Warning: they are hefty (which I think is a good counterbalance on a long gun). My .02 worth.

Brent · Jan 13, 2015

Thanks for the replies everyone! For the now, I'm going to do the a2 I think and one lower to save money for the dmr build. I appreciate everyones input. Plus it'll look nice with a 16" barrel fixed stock and gemtech on the end for my carbine needs. Now time to buy new foam for the pelican in preparation of the 2nd upper in it

outrider58 · Jan 13, 2015

Sorry Mdeng, blew right by your post without reading it.

3paul10 · Jan 13, 2015

Can never have to many...just build another and enjoy!

sailskidrive · Jan 13, 2015

I have more than one PRS. The stock is heavy and personally I find the cheek riser useless unless you mount your optic ridiculously high. The adjustable LOP is nice though.

It is a law of nature that you must have as many uppers as lowers. Nature abhors a vacuum (and half a firearm).
