sbpt1911 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hi all, I'v been ordering parts for my 3 gun ar 15 build. I would like recommendations as to which stock to use? 18" barrel. I'm going with the JP Lmos Carrier and adjustable gas block. I've been searching and reading, butstill would like opinions on going with a rifle stock with the JP Lmos buffer or a carbine stock with standard carbine buffer and JP spring. Thank's I am leaning towards a Moe stock, I have this on my 16" midlength and it like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I would check out the Magpul ACS stock. I just put it on my rifle and really love it. One of the best I've had so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClutchUSMC Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I like the ACS stock but my favorite is the VLTOR EMOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagdrag Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Anyone have experience with the EFX-A1? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prreed10 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I tried one. Liked everyhing but the storage compartment. If that wasn't there and it was a little more streamlined, I would have kept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I like the ACE family of stocks. The SOCOM is nice if you like adjustable stocks. The ARFX is nice and it's cheap if it's length guys u. The lightweight is just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangeman711 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I use the Vltor Emod and love it. For me it's just the right fit and comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthyBlagga Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 What you are looking for in a stock is: (1) Fit to YOU. There is a lot to be said for collapsible stocks. I even like a different length of pull for standing versus prone shooting, for example. I would not go back to a fixed-length stock if I could avoid it. (2) Good cheek weld for your face shape and preferred head position (I like nose-to-charging-handle). (3) Weight. Think about the weight/length of your barrel, and choose a stock to give you the balance point you want. On my 16" lightweight rifle I run a MagPul CTR for its light weight. However, when it came to my 18" midweight rifle, the considerable extra weight out front was better balanced by the heavier MagPul UBR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesY Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I was in the same boat and also got the JP LMOS buffer and spring. I went with an Ace ARFX. I like the length as well as the weight. I'm going to go lightweight on my build with 16" barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Always liked the std A2 or A1 stock. Cheap, solid and works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I run the ACE ARFX also. Lightweight, comfortable in all weather, A1 length without the rubber pad, A2 with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technetium-99m Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 A2 stocks fit me very well, and they don't pull out facial hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspian guy Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 The standard A2 stock works fairly well for me (it just happens to fit me correctly.) I have bought several for cheap from folks who were changing them out for collapsible/adjustable models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I too like a fixed stock. I have used both the Vltor & Ace stocks and like them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stephens Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Running a UBR right now after switching from a CTR. Love it. Solid feel, good cheek weld and adjustable. I think I will almost always go with an adjustable. I can definitely remember a few stages where you would be in trouble if you couldn't shorten your stock.
