Nice Made Stock
Overall the A2 stock was well made and complete. Was disappointed it did not match the Magpul OD Green of the rest of my furniture.
Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Buttstock seems nice but is missing spacer
The buttstock was not shipped with a spacer. I think that should be standard component here to match A2 style buffer tubes. There isn't a reason to ship this without the spacer, so my rating is three stars.

Decent mil spec type stock but OD green is more foliage green
The build quality is decent. Some mold flashing here and there that needed to be cleaned up. The main issue is the color. It was more foliage green than OD. Very light in color and close to the Magpul Foliage Green. I'm going to just paint it because there are no good options for green stocks that have the foam fill inside.

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.
