Best A1 stock kit

[Rifleman_04]

As far as I know, Fulton Armory has only had the A1 aluminum trap doors over the last couple of years incorrectly paired with A2 butt plates. Though I guess you weren't going for a perfect clone because of the A1 stock.

And that would explain why the latch is different and I never even noticed until you mentioned that.

Dang it now off to see if I can swap the latches out.

Quick historical note. Around 2006 or so, Numrich sold the A1 trapdoor stocks (probably national guard take offs) for about $21 and the older, non-trapdoor A1-length stocks for about $7. Numrich published a letter from a battalion armorer in Iraq who had bought a bunch of the non-trapdoor stocks and installed them on request for persons of smaller stature; he specifically mentioned females and Mexicans. He thanked Numrich for making these stocks available because the A2 stocks, as issued, were almost unusable for the smaller recruits.

That’s pretty cool. Makes my clone a bit more correct. My command wouldn’t have allowed us to do stuff like that even if it was a benefit.

Just another FYI, but the doors as well as the latches are different between A1 and A2 trap doors. Can't just change out the latch and be clone correct either.

Well dang me. Thanks for the info.
