Building my first AR-15
What seems to be the most preferred ButtStock? Collapsible or Fixed? Any pros- or cons? Thanks in advance! |

A collapsible stock allows you to change stock lengths to accommodate shooters of different sizes.
A fixed stock is great for producing a solid, repeatable cheekweld, which is one of the things you need when precision shooting through magnified optics or irons. A fixed stock will use a standard length buffer tube, and standard length and weight buffer. This is the buffer system that the rifle length gas system was designed around. A collapsible stock will use a shorter carbine buffer tube and the shorter carbine buffer. It was designed for the carbine length gas system and is generally most popular on carbine and midlength gas system guns. |

I have four lowers
Two CavArms MkII One Stag telestock One AR rifle stock To me, one is no better then the other. I decide what I need an AR to do on a given day, grab the right lower and upper and go shooting. Usually I pick the CavArms MkII with the match trigger and whatever upper I need. |
