    I think that would steer me away from the Sully stock.

    But with a pinned stock, what happens if you have to mortar your rifle? Will it really damage/break the buffer tube if the stock is extended? Will it fracture the fixed pin/adjustment pin?

    while putting together my most recent build I considered using a fixed stock with a BCM middy upper. I even put it together and left it that way for a few days to consider it. Eventually it went with a collapsible stock using a Vltor buttstock.

    My next build, just picked up a Spikes Tactical lower , will be a fixed stock with a lightweight middy upper.

    Having carried a couple of fixed-stock HK's and an AUG I am a bit fan of the Sully stock in a fixed-stock application. Personally, pinned stocks were always a bit silly to me.

    Also, I'm pretty sure that the new Troy sling mount will fit as the Sully has the same profile behind the receiver. As soon as it is out, I'm ordering one.

    to me it just looks lopsided

    if i went wit a little longer barrel then it would balance out. maybe i should build a midlength?

    I knew a guy that had a middy with Cav arms fixed stock. Good looking gun IMHO

    Carbine length is a little strange looking.

    Looks good. Wonder if it would work with a Cav Arms lower. I've been wanting to get one of their lowers from DSG Arms just for fun but didn't want to have to change where my slings attach.

    I'd go with the Sully, I like them, and will probably go with one for my next build.

    Some of the Members here posted some great options for you. So I am not going to post any because I would second most of theirs as a possibility. If I lived in a State where I could not own a m4 stock and had to go with the a2...I would take the A2 over the M4 FIXED any day..But that is just me and at the end of the day you have to be happy with it.

    No point on having a M4 stock if it won't do what it was designed to do. I was always able to get great cheek well with the A2. It always felt rock solid.

    Do your research this site is offers a wealth of info. Take your time and only buy once. Good Luck let us know what you went with and give a range report.
