I have completed my build (well, the upper should be here in a few weeks, everything else is done) but don't have a stock. Waiting on a UBR to come in stock at several places but don't want it to hold up trying out my new AR.
So I thought I would get an 'interim' stock. However, I don't wish to spend gobs of cash since it will just hold me over until my UBR gets here. Anybody have any advice on a cheap stock (preferrably collapsible) that is halfway decent?? I don't need the best but at the same time don't want a total piece of junk. |

Lots of good choices.
And a newb question. What does MOE stand for?? I really like the UBR and was wanting to use it on my first build but you made me realize there are other stocks that are just as good. And I guess I can pick up a UBR if and when they ever get stocked up. |

Im not going to lie, I bought a chinaman bootleg VLTOR EMod on ebay and I love it, its very high quality and I would buy another for sure. Its on my duty M4 (US Army) and its going with me to Iraq and I have no doubt that it will survive.
I only bought a chinaman one because I wasnt going to spend $150 on a buttstock thats going to get all trashed up anyways. http://cgi.ebay.com/Vltor-Style-Emod-Mod-Stock-for-Airsoft-Real-AR-BLACK_W0QQitemZ290296986428QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item290296986428&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50 |

U-T-G, this is whats on my gun and its as good as any of the other commercial M4 stocks like BCM and others, and you can always put a commercial MOE on the buffer tube llater ike I'm planing to do with mine.
UTG M4 stock |

I don't mean to offend anyone, but IMHO the standard buttstock just looks like something that belongs on a toy rifle. http://www.u-t-g.com/zen/images/manufacturers/rb-a687-m.jpg Add another vote for the Magpul MOE... you can't beat it for the price, plus they make it in commercial and milspec versions. You mean toy rifles like this?

well, they are cheap and plastic, hate to break it to you, but so is the moe, ctr, a1,a2, All plastic, all under $50 except the ctr but thats cause the friction lock. I think the ubr is plastic(not cheap tho ). Pretty sure all stocks besides ace are plastic. Some people dont care about looks, whilst some love the m4 look.
