AR-15 thread... I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

I’ll keep looking for the right stock then.

You talking A1 or A2 stock?

I remember when I was into AK's there was Nato length vs Warsaw length if I remember correctly

So the PRS lite uses a carbine tube but overall length is about an A1 stock. But I might look to find another stock to replace the PRS.

Finished it last month and forgot to post here.
Optic is temporary.
And I think I'm going to have something made to replace the front angled grip.
Just found the positioning to grasp it weird.

I like the idea of an AR with wood furniture. That does it well

 

[LakeTrout]

After shooting the Big Girl prone, I need to move the scope mount forward. Found out on the range a couple weeks ago that I needed more distance to better fit the eye box.

Anyone else had a struggle with getting a fixed stock to work with shooting in different positions?

That’s one of the many reasons collapsible stocks were invented. Fixed stock is great if you intend to be shooting in the same position, dressed the same way, etc.

I generally hate seeing wood on an AR. But this awesome. It is actually appealing to the eye with Thompson style furniture.

Funny finding myself attempting to reinvent the wheel…

Thanks.
Its a weird combo of style definitely.
Especially since its in nyet rifle is fine caliber(7.62x39) which is why I choose to go with the wood furniture.

What kind of wood is that, did you finish it from raw or did it come like that?

I am new to the site and new to firearms in general (got my permission slip about a year ago), so please go easy on me lol. This is my 556 that I just "finished" today (mounted the G33). This is my buy once, cry once build. All Fed and Local laws have been followed. I can give a parts run down if people are interested. View attachment 723918

Congrats. Is it a fixed or detachable magazine?

Nothing special but it's a thread bump!

Cool. Which stock is that? Some type of magpul I assume?

 

[SHOCKNAWE]

Yes Magpul, the one with the tube storage on both sides, I put a couple Cr123 batteries in them

Ironic bit of trivia, but Colt AR collapsible stocks were not adjustable for the first couple of decades for some reason. Only 2 positions, all the way in or all the way out.
I dont think anyone at Colt thought to put extra holes in the buffer tube till the ACR program or maybe the XM4 program in the 1980s, though guys in special ops started drilling a 3rd hole in their favorite position before that I believe.

First M16A2 stocks were made by toy companies

How do you know that to be true?

The Mattel logo was right on them ffs. We used to joke that they were toys quite regularly

 

[Admin]

It most certainly WASN'T the M16A2

Where specifically was the logo placed on the rifle?

I carried several different M-16A2s over a period of ten years in platoons with dozens of other, similar rifles.

Never saw the Mattel logo.

I have never held an actual 607.
Is it adjustable more than all the way in or all the way out?

This is the one I put together it's a way of making it look short,but not doing the SBR thing..

They weren't using the M16A2 in Vietnam.

The only AR style rifle that was made by a toy company back then ,was this rifle.
Used in the movie the Green Beret,by Col. Mike Kirby played by the Duke.
He smashed it against a tree after they found one of their team mates killed.
