One TSOB
Really nice copy of a a1 stock. Accepted My old butt plate and has a ton of space for stuff inside stock due to the lack of foam. Really nice job guys. Thanks Rich
Okay stock if you arent building a Clone
I got one of these butt stocks a year or so ago from a friend. I'll keep this short and sweet. The stock its self isn't great for any M16 clone, I wouldn't use it for one at all. It is however good for anyone who wants to have an A1 length fixed stock on their AR-15. The butt plate on this stock really is garbage but can be replaced with an A2 type butt plate from someone like Anderson. Not a bad stock over all but you will definitely want to replace the butt plate.
Good A1 stock with issues..
The stock itself is well made.... Tough Plastic shell ,fit is tight on the receiver... Now for the issues... The Buttplate and accompanying hardware is of poor quality in my opinion... The Buttplate is soft plastic.. The trapdoor is made of plastic as well...The upper stock screw is non ported...The lower stock screws threads are to fine for the swivel.. The swivel itself is fine....Your best bet is to just get the stock....Then order better quality parts to complete the stock
Cavalry Manufacturing A1 butt stock.
If your looking for an A1 length butt stock that you can use and not worry about digging up or failing on you this is it. texture is not like an original, and the butt plate and trap door are a bit flimsy but can be replaced with Oem A1or A2 components.overall construction and materials are very strong.i would consider this stock for anyone who is going to use their rifle for hunting,target,or tactical shooting.if you or building a true A1 clone, i would suggest for you to purchase nos,refurbished military surplus. If you want something you can use everyday.you can't beat the deal on this butt stock.
Decent stock for the money
This is a decent stock. It works well for what it is intended. The A1 style stock has been passed by with many of the newer wonder stocks. Remember that when replacing an A2 stock with this you will need a different screw for the stock, as A2s are longer due to the receiver extension spacer. The finish on the stock is a little rougher than it should be with some flashing showing. Other than that it is good to go. I also like to replace the butt-plate with an A2. That is just a matter of personal preference. I plan to buy another.
The shell is okay
I bought this as I didn't need another buffer tube and spring that I would have gotten with the Brownells retro kit. I found an A2 stock was too long for me. Buy the whole kit from Brownells. The shell of this stock fits snug on the tube and receiver, but does feel a little softer than the PSA A2 stock it replaced. The buttplate is complete airsoft wish.com Chinesium-grade plastic as other reviewers have described. Also a negative, the sling loop doesn't have anything to keep it from rotating around if bumped. Fortunately, the buttplate off the PSA A2 stock fit perfectly. With everything tightened down its solid, but I had to use parts I already had.
But stock
Compared to the stocks you sold a year ago this new one is a piece of junk and I will be sending it back you can do better than this
Poor quality and not to spec
Short answer: DO NOT BUY THIS JUNK. If you want to know why, read-on. Should've read the review and hold-off until higher quality parts become available. Where do I begin? Like every one said, the butt-pad is flimsy, soft and rubbery. I ordered the correct A1 stock screw and as I try to tighten it down, it starts to chew into the butt pad. I'm not surprised if I tighten a little harder it will eat right through. The trap door... The way it closes is not mil spec. It does not have the metal latch to secure the trapdoor to the butt-pad, just a rubbery latch with little to almost no spring tension. The screw included are not mil-spec either: The one that secure the stock to receiver extension (buffer tube) should have a hole in the middle and should be a slot screw, but the screw included is a hex screw without drain hole in the middle. The sling loop and screw securing it to the stock are both not military spec: hex screw instead of slot screw and loop itself looks funny. As I mention right at beginning, please spend your hard earn money at something that's of higher quality.
Buttpad ruins it
The stock itself is ok. It is the correct A1 length. The buttplate is a flimsy, rubbery piece of garbage that gets drilled through by the install screw. Would not recommend. Brownells should discontinue selling this product. If you want an A1 length fixed stock for your rifle, get a Brownells retro A1 stock instead.
Yea wasted 50 bucks
Top screw went right thru the butt plate
