I cannot stand the looks of AR furniture on anything other than an AR this includes AK, SCARS, shotguns, etc.
The telescoping stock of an AR is kind of an accidental benefit. Back in the 50's nobody was sporing plate carriers and all the other battle rattle that is worn today. Eugene Stoner had no idea what all his little black rifle had in store for it. The telescoping stock was needed on CARs in Nam to reduce overall size for SOF. That damn tube was always in the way! Fast forward to today and that stock is a huge benefit yes even on AKs for nothing other than reduced LOP while wearing armor.
