what butt stock and tube?

[Scott Clearman]

I am building a DPMS pattern rifle. It will be a 16" mid-length gassed barrel.  From experience with scoped AR15's, a collapsible stock will be a bit too short to be comfortable. But an A2 length seems too long.  I'm fine with and actually prefer a fixed stock. What options are there for something in the middle?  If it matters, this rifle will suppressed most of the time.

Magpul makes some nice fixed stocks.

This right here.  Two of them come to mind, too.  The traditional MagPul MOE RIfle Stock, and the Fixed Carbine Stock.  Here's the data on them.  I have both, and they're both great.

LOP for each is 13.5" and 12.2", respectively.

there's also a A1 stock(old school). it uses the rifle tube but is about 3/4" shorter than the A2. It discards the spacer that the A2 uses.

I have both A1 and A2 stocks and it's a slight but noticable differance.

The Collapsible stock I had on my 16" AR15 was not comfortable with a scope.  I assume the magpul fixed stock would be better in that regard.  Being comfortable using a scope is one of the main criteria for this build.

This is a 22 but you can get an idea what one looks on an AR15. it's the same size as one. It also came with a spacer but didn't need it for the open sights. you may on the scope.

Have the LuthAR MBA-1 and like the adjustability a lot.  Did have to adjust the cheek well back a bit so it wouldn't hit the charging handle, not a big deal to me.
