A2 BRN stock
Easy install with the separate kit & parts (buffer tube, spring & buffer). You will also need to order the butt stock screw & buffer extender.

Nice solid product
This is a really nice stock. It has the yellow tone foam inside. The trapdoor has a metal latch. The stock itself is a very dark gray. It's not quite the fuzzy gray as seen on USGI A2 stocks in the 2000s and not quite the shiny black the lower quality A2 replica stocks have. It's a good middle ground.

Identical to Colt!
I build a lower with this Brownells stock. Following that build I bought a factory new Colt AR15-A4 and the stocks are Identical is look, feel, color, everything. As far as I can tell its the same stock Colt is currently using and a better price! buy with confidence! this stock feels very solid. BUYER BE AWARE: this does not include the spacer or screw needed to mount this to a rifle buffer tube, those parts must be purchased separately.

Missing parts, Go for a more expensive but complete kit.
A few tiny dents, dings, marred plastic where the stock mates to the reciever. Mold lines are more prominent than I'd like and the buttstock doesn't sit flush with the stock at the top. Not scratch resistant. Cosmetics are really minor but I know some people care about that. I was excited to finish up my build, unfortunately I didn't read the fine print because Brownell's makes you buy extra parts in order to get this stock on your AR. Not included in this or their buffertube kit is the buffertube extension and the top buttstock screw. I don't understand why they wouldn't add the upper screw, but I get the joy of making another order from brownells to screw my buttplate so it doesn't hang off. $14.45 for a single buttstock screw? $22.55 if you add the extension cap. Give me a break! I will adjust my rating when I get to the range and test function.
