STOCK KIT W/ RECEIVER EXTENSION FOR AR15-A1 Reviews & Ratings

Perfect for my A1 clone.

Excellent product and excellent price

There is a legend around A1 stocks - they have the perfect LOP, why would you ever use anything else, and so on. But there are some drawbacks - no storage, some of the clones are considered flimsy (or at least the buttpad is), they crack easily, are discolored or badly molded, and the surplus ones are getting harder to acquire. I used this stock kit (includes the rifle length buffer tube and A1 screw) to replace a collapsible stock on one of my pre-FSA13 lowers. This A1 fixed stock lower will host, at various times, a Brownells BRN-605 upper, a BRN-16A1 upper, a PSA A4 upper, or a Daniel Defense midlength 16" upper with rifle length rail. The stock is black (rather than gray), feels solid, has a storage compartment with the typical polymer buttplate. Some people think you need a button type QD on a stock for functionality - just used a J-hook from a GI sling with a tactical sling - can still detach when needed. It looks great with all of the uppers, although if you care about color matching the BRN uppers, you will not be happy (because they are a mix of the milspec gray and black parts). But I don't care about that at all - it's a very nice stock. The only complaint I have is that the rear takedown pin is now very tight under the spring tension of the fixed stock versus what it was with the collapsible buffer tube. I need something to push it out now, rather than just using finger pressure. Otherwise, love it.

It took a tiny bit of fitting to get it installed. The stock needed about 5 minutes worth of filing to fit over the buffer tube. There were “ears” left at the edges where it met up with the tube that I had to file down. Other than that, it works great.

Product isnt bad overall. I like that it comes with everything you need (extension, spring, buffer, stock). My only complaint is that its very sproingy when firing. Put this on my MK12 Mod 1 and there is noticeable audible feedback at the shooters right ear , closest to the buffer tube. Oiling down the spring and the inside of the buffer tube mitigates this a little, but I still hear it. Just not used to it, other than that its great.

I should have listened to the other reviews. It is not military grade like. The trap door is just a one piece plastic molding (anchor, hinge, door, and clip). Buffer, spring, and tube arw good. Overall not bad, just not great, especially for the money.

What braindead starchild thought it would be a great idea to put a slot where the sling mount is? If you want adjustability to your sling position, buy a CAR stock. WHY can't anyone make a simple C7 length A2 stock? I seriously don't get it.

Bought this for an A1 clone build, and it's close enough to look the part. Like other reviews have stated, the butt plate door rattles. Like a lot. It was annoying enough that I took it apart and added plastic shims on the hinge to tighten it up a bit. Stock is completely hollow inside, so if you plan on jamming a cleaning kit in there, it's going to flop around and probably be hard to get out. My other gripe is the hardware used on the buttplate. I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure hex head socket screws were never used on A1 stocks. Overall, it looks close enough and functions as intended, but if I was building another I'd look elsewhere.

The stock looks like a solid stock. The fit to the lower is good. My issues are two-fold. 1. The screw to attach the buttpad to the buffer tube was incorrect. Not only was it not the A1 style screw, but it was not even the correct thread. Had to go into my spare parts drawer to find the correct screw. 2. The trapdoor in the buttpad was so poorly fit, that it just rattles when you move the rifle around. Had to add material under the door to take up the slack. I would expect more from a $100 stock. I wanted this stock specifically for the LOP. But was hoping for a little more quality.
