I am looking to add a stock to my AP5. I’ve searched but came away confused. What do you all recommend?

For comfort the A2 is king but the A3/A3F are nice if you value compactness. The B&T folding stock is kind of a middle ground between them, almost as comfortable as the A2 but can fold.
There's of course lots of other options too. Magpul makes a collapsing stock. There's a bunch of end cap adapters available too for AR or picatinny stocks. |

I'll second the B&T Folding stock (the shorter one, not the one shaped like the UMP stock).
I have tried out the A2, the A3, and an M4 stock adaptor, and keep coming back to the B&T folder. It has the comfort of the A2 with a bit of convivence in folding for transport/storage. Plus, it's quite light compared to many others. |

You'll end up getting all of them, as I did. My favorite for the full-size is A3 for packing, A2 for shooting.

The AC Unity A2 is cheap and works great, start there. Then buy an A3.

 The M(ag)P(ul)5--AP5 Review I like the Magpul as a budget option that still has the spirit of the A3. |

Don't forget the cheap A3 stock option if you're not interested in spending obscene money on something that isn't really all that comfortable to use anyway.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By bluedog82:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2TvxVU9IL8I like the Magpul as a budget option that still has the spirit of the A3. It is a superb budget option. I have one on a C93 after I put my German A3F stocks on my MP5 clones. It isn’t as good as the A3F but it’s also a third to a quarter of the price depending on the market at the time. No shame in them at all! Personally, I’d probably say the A2 style is the best for shooting but I think the A3F is a pretty good in-between of the A2 and legacy A3 with its slightly better LOP. The B+T and AC-U side folders are pretty nice too, though the Swiss ones are priced high in my opinion and don’t really have the classic MP5 look. |

Bear in mind you likely need a U.S.-made stock for compliance.

I hate the humps where the stock meets the receiver like pictured above.
I'll be getting this style like a hk33 made by PTR

I put this on my SP5 SBR. It's been perfect for it so far. I original bought this a couple of years ago when they were cheaper. |

A2 is lighter and more comfortable, the A3 is compact and adjustable with some versions

I prefer the A5. It’s comfortable and very practical for actual shooting at any temperature.
If you just want to sit on the couch and look cool, the A3 is fine.

I'm using a UMP stock on mine. Might add a A2.
