    That said, is there a reason why you want the A2? It works just fine, but there are some better stock solutions out there for most roles. If you just want the look of the A2, then that's different.
    There is a reason. I can't seem to find a way to get a good cheek weld and get my scope far enough forward without straining. I have long arms and need to fully extend my Sopmod stock. At the same time if my stock is fully extended, my scope ocular has to be moved about three inches behind the receiver for it to be comfortable. My brother has an A2 stock on one of his and it seems to solve the problem. I hope that makes sense.

    If going with an A2 stock, why not just run a rifle length tube?
    If you need to be able to collapse the stock occasionally, wouldn't pretty much any adjustable stock be as long, if not longer than the A2 when fully extended?

    Perhaps I am missing something. I am going on no sleep over here.

    I'm using a MagPul Fixed Length Carbine Stock with a home made spacer and will be installing a thicker butt pad on my precision AR


    It works good on the Big Smith

    Agree completely.

    OP, perhaps it's an experience thing, realize that there is a significant engineering and function difference between the carbine buffer and a full length rifle buffer. If you want to use the A2 stock, then you really should just swap out the entire buffer system to a rifle tube/spring/buffer. Honestly, it doesn't cost that much, it's not difficult at all, and you will be much happier for doing so.

    Good advice already given here.
