My friend just received a Colt SP-1 circa '72 that's fired less than 200 rounds! Pretty good deal for a pre-ban, it's brand new for the most part. It was his father's rifle who bought it new back then. Anyhow, he mentioned wanting to put a functioning collapsible M4/XM177 stock on this rifle, even though I told him I thought it might look silly on a standard 20" AR. Isn't it illegal to put a collapsible stock on an AR-15 that didn't have one originally even if it's pre-ban? I was under the impression they were only legal as replacement on a pre-ban stock that broke. |
| It might look wierd, but tell him to go for it. The A2 stock never felt right for me. The adjustable stock helps a lot in many ways. It can make the rifle more comfortable to the user, a shorter lenght of pull makes the rifle more stable, and also allows a faster cheek weld and sight picture alignment (if you are doing tactical work with it). Tell him to do anything he wants with that preban just cause he can. |

I also have a unfired pre-ban 20" Colt sporter match H-Bar which didn't come with a bayonet lug with it's original configuration. This is one of my safe rifles but I was wondering if I could replace the upper with another 20" pre-ban colt upper that has the flash hider and bayonet lug since the original configuration didn't have one. I'm never going to fire the gun, but I was just wondering if I could replace the upper. Thanks Leadfoot |

Quoted: if your "friend" wants a CAR stock, get a 16" or 14.5" (with perm attached FS) Upper for it! I set up my preban as a "entry weapon" I mean you can have all the evil features on them so you might as well! Referring to "friends" quote - It's really not me. I just bought a Bushmaster M4gery as a Christmas gift and my first AR. I only wish my father would have kept his guns. He used to have a CAR-15 10" (select fire I believe). Unfortunately, after years of service as a Green Beret he got tired of guns. Nothing military interests him now [img]http://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung/traurig/traurig056.gif[/img] Anyhow, thanks for the replies. I told him already, so he's glad about the stock. |
