    magpul Moe Fixed rifle stock question

    So I just bought a lower parts kit that comes with a magpul collapsible stock and everything needed to put it together.

    However, I just also purchased a MOE fixed rifle stock and was not sure what I needed to change to put the fixed stock on my AR instead. I saw somewhere that I needed the A2 buffer tube to make the change however I was curious whether that is everything I need to make the change or do I need to buy an A2 buffer kit to make the change?

    Bear with me as I don't know my ar's as well as you guys do. I'm here to learn right now.

    Thanks,
    Ben

    You need a rifle length receiver extension, a rifle buffer and a rifle length action spring to mount the fixed MOE stock.

    Why are you going with a fixed stock as opposed to an adjustable?

    I don't hunt so I am curious. Why can't you use a telescoping stock on a "yote" gun?

    People are weird about this crap. They usually don't understand the benefits of a collapsible stock because they are new and the guys they hunt with are also clueless. Guys will always err on the side of what their huntin' buddies use.


    OP: Why not save yourself some money and just use the collapsible stock? One big benefit is during the winter when you have eight layers of clothing, you can adjust it to better fit you (same as body armor).
    I wont touch a fixed stock for anything AR. Even on an AR I taking hunting (I don't own a "huntin' AR).

    Kind of what I was thinking. When I did the SPR Sniper Course I was using an M4 style set up and was able to make hits in excess of 800 yards.

    "Guys will always err on the side of what their huntin' buddies use."

    All my buddies use tc encores and other bolt guns in 22-250 so i'm going into this one blind.
    Like I said, I don't know ARs well and thats why i'm here to learn.


    But its honestly more of a personal preference.
    I like the look of it and I like the idea of extra sturdyness and zero play in the stock.

    There's no reason that I know of as to why you cant hunt with a collapsible stock I just dont want to put that on my dedicated coyote gun.

    There are plenty of sturdy collapsible stocks with zero play. A good one that comes to mind is the sopmod.

    There's no need for a slider on a gun with a fixed eye relief glass. Don't let these yuppies piss on your rig.

    The reason I don't use the MOE fixed is that it's too long... but that's a good thing for an AR with a scope.

    thats what I was thinking. I want the rifle to always have the same LOP for the best consistancy I can get.

    Plus with that extra stock laying around I may have more incentive to build another once I complete this build.
