Ha! If you can build your own computer control for your telescope, you can make a set of these, lol.

My dudes! Could this be the stock to round this build off? @Edwardteach72, @Elwood, @BDinPutnam ?

I'm torn. What's the length of pull and could you shoulder it?
Its pretty awesome. Shame it isnt collapsible/adjustable (or am I missing something, the link is kinda vague on my phone at least).

It's basically an A1/A2 style but in a length that is just like a carbine stock fully collapsed. That's what I gather anyway. I already have it on order from RRA. Their site listed it as "limited quantities"...other retailers have it listed as "discontinued". So I don't really know what to expect. Haha, fml.

Depends on your length of pull, As I look at the three, I think the small stock may be a little too short and give the build an odd look. It’s not a full length barrel so the largest stock may have the same effect in the other end of the spectrum. In my opinion for a mid length, the middle stock looks like it hits the sweet spot
Now you got me pondering building a A1 style full length rifle only deviation I would make is an A2 sight/carry handle upper receiver

Oooh... how about an extended end plate to lengthen the LOP? I don't have any links handy but I think Strike makes one and I think might technically add an inch or so while keeping the castle nut lock intact?

I tend to agree. I'm not sure that middle stock is available though. Unless that middle stock really is an A1 stock and the A2 is that much longer. If that is the case then maybe what I really want is an A1 stock?

Pretty sure the middle is an A1, I just ordered one from Brownells this morning along with their BRN 605 upper, looks like I’m building something now also

I was able to find a picture of a mid length rifle with the RRA entry stock. It actually doesn't look bad.
Not my rifle.
Not my rifle.

Sounds awesome! You'll have to post your build here. I mean, if you want to.
I think I'll change the thread title to "Custom triangle handguards and other retro builds".

That looks pretty cool actually.
Btw: the Strike extended end plate i was thinking of wouldn't help you here i think cause I dont think you'd be able to snug up the end of the stock to the castle nut (it basically takes up the "one spot" on a collapsible stock).

As stated above, it's for length of pull/aesethetics. But thanks for calling me a pussy, lol! J/K.

It would be cool to get a spec on those handguards for a 3-d printer.
ArmedCorgi

What would you need?
PutnamCharlie

Not sure. I'm guessing it would need to be scanned. They have a camera that scans it and makes a file for the printer. There are companies that would scan it for you. The camera itself it too expensive to buy 5k.

This one is only 220 bucks.

Knowing what I know about XYZ, they have proprietary written all over them. I would not be surprised if that camera only worked with XYZ printers.This one is only 220 bucks.

It's possible. But there are companies in NY that for a fee of course will scan them and send you the file. With the price of 3d printers dropping every day it might be worth it.

I imagine a stock might be a trickier proposition (to 3D print and have it stand up well in use)?
PutnamCharlie

Depends on what is used to print them. They make things out of Polycarbonate and that will hold up to anything.

RRA entry buttstock has shipped. Should be here next week sometime. In true corgi fashion, I ended up buying two (one directly from RRA and the other from JSE). I did this because the way RRA does their site and order process, I wasn't sure if they in fact had any available or not. So I had also found that JSE had 5 in stock, only they were the green colored ones. I bought one from them also. Well, they both shipped today, haha. I will likely end up selling the extra one here on the forum. I didn't mind getting a green one because I will have to paint it to match the forend anyway.
I also bought another maglock and will be turning the lower I currently have the spur on into a fixed mag lower. I will install the entry buttstock on it. That lower is a no logo lower from BulletGuy. I figure to keep it black and free of any roll mark fill (at least for the time being).
I have also ground down the finger hump on a spare A2 grip, which will go on the lower.
I need to get a front sling swivel and a buttstock spacer. I am also pretending like I have money and am thinking of getting one of Brownell's chrome BCGs. I had one, but have since sold the AR I had it in.
