CAR XM177
This retro stock is of good quality and appears as did the original versions of this stock from years ago. The parts have a fit that is nice and tight with no slack and a beautiful finish. I would buy again.

Wow
Wow is all I can say. The stock is all it’s advertised to be and the quality is top notch. Although the coating is modern and better than the original it is great for a retro gun.

The most accurate CAR15 Stock
If you are going for a more authentic CAR15 build, you have to get this aluminum stock over the plastic ones.

Great
Looks Great, Fits great. I purchased 100043844 If your doing a Retro build this is a must. Get one, I don't think you will be disappointed, (Retired LEO)

Awesome
If your doing a Retro build this is a must have. (I also ordered the Retro A1 grip with this and it is great also) Appearance is awesome, fit is good. Makes my Retro build look even more authentic. All parts are included with the 100043844 . Buy one for your Retro build, I bet you will be just as pleased as I am. Way cheaper than purchasing an original Colt Aluminum stock. Thanks Brownells for making this available.
