Fixed LOP Stock for AR-15

[mdesign]

I am looking for a fixed LOP stock for my CQB rifle. I want a LOP of 12.5" and have been waiting for the Magpul MOE-Fixed Carbine Stock to come out but with all the trouble in CO, they other pressing priorities. My priorities are durability & functionality followed by storage compartments. I have shied away from adjustable stocks because the first thing people do is mess with the length when they pick up the rifle. I also have seen several break or collapse and severely pinch the operator's hand during malfunction or combat drills.

The ACE skeleton could be an option but not the SOCOM, somewhere I thought I saw a short A2 but cannot find it now. Any other stocks I should take a look at? Would consider an adjustable stock where the LOP can be fixed so people cannot mess with it and that have a proven record of durability. Maybe something like the Magpul UBR ?

A short A2 is a A1 stock. They use the same buffer tube spring and buffer but the A2 has a spacer as well as a longer screw that takes up the extra length. I have had A1 length stocks made by Vltor, Cav Arms and Magupuls is also A1 length.

Do you know the LOP on an A1? I'll have to search those websites to see what they have for A1 stocks.

I am a fan of the M.A.G.S. EFX A-1. A1 length and solid construction. Only downside, IMO, is a non waterproof compartment (if that might be an issue for you). Only comes in black also. Like it better than the Vltor Modstock.

BTW, you can fix the UBR pretty easiliy in any position, but I wouldn't recommend it. UBR is expensive and heavy if you are not planning on adjusting it at all.

I think you were looking at a Guardian Shorty: Butt Stock Assembly Group, Guardian Shorty w/Solid Plastic Butt Plate, New, Black

Thanks...the shorty may be a little short at 10.5" LOP, checking into the EFX to see what they say on LOP.

I've had a number of people PM me about the Magpul ACS stock, it's adjustable, anyone have any experience with them on durability?
