Anyone ever shoot a carbine length AR with an A2 buttstock?

[jsquared]

Thinking about installing an A2 stock on my 16" carbine, anyone ever shot an AR set up like this? How did you like it? Not such a big fan oif the CAR stock so thought I would try this out before spending money on an Ace or something.

Sure does look a little funny

Love it!

Yeah its actually not too bad looking, kind if liking it a bit. Hoping it feels nice.

I have owned several carbines with A2 stocks. During the ban, that was how we all rolled. Nothing wrong with the A2. Great solid stock.

did it before .........just wasnt that crazy bought the way it felt with the extra weight in the rear versus the m4 barrel ...

That is the way my Olympic came from the factory. Nothing wrong with it at all. I like a2 stocks the most anyway.

I have a mil spec bushy m4 stock if your interested...IF you have a 6 position commercial buffer tube

Pretty sure my buffer tube is mil-spec, its on an M&P15. I should be picking up a DPMS A2 stock this week sometime though, just need the rifle buffer and spring.

A solid stock also aids in clearing certain malfunctions where a collapsible stock may break when the stock is slammed into the ground ( unless you remember to collapse it all the way) to free up the bolt during a failure to extract, a.k.a. "bolt override" .

I ran through a couple of carbine classes with an A2 Bushmaster stock. Once the evil AWB was lifted, I bought a 4 position stock to install. I still to this day think the gun balanced better with the A2 stock. The only reason I left the collapsible stock on was for transporting the gun to and from the vehicle in an inconspicuous manner.
