    CAR Stock needed for early M4.

    OK this shouldn't be as hard as it is, but I am having no luck. Can anyone point me to where I could purchase a CAR 4-position stock? A Colt would be preferred, but off brands are acceptable as well.

    I am setting out to build a very accurate replica of the early Colt M4 I carried during my 2 tours in Iraq. I know it may not be a true retro, but it will be a true replica of what I used in war. I will not be using anything that was not as issued on my carbine. Carrying handle, CAR Stock, A2 grip, M4 RAS, M68 (Comp M2) in an Aimpoint mount, Surefire M951, Matech BUIS, etc.

    Anyway, thanks for the help.

    ETA: I am not talking about the "waffle" Colt M4 stock.

    M&A parts sells a good CAR stock replica. Or better still you can contact Dennis Todd and get a genuine Colt CAR stock.

    I also found at Brownells, Colt PN:SP12012081. Is this the stock I am looking for?

    If the drawing is a correct representation of the part number, then I am going to have to pick up one of these myself.

    No this is not the correct stock. I contacted Brownells about this a few weeks ago, and they said it is the new M4 stock, even though the drawing is that of the CAR stock.

    Like I said, if you want a true Colt stock contact Dennis Todd. I can pm you his contact info if you like. He told me that when Colt switched to the new design, he bought out what he could of the CAR stocks and has been selling them over the years. When I spoke to him three weeks ago, he only had a dozen or so left of the genuine Colt stocks.

    “The ruling class doesn’t care about public safety. Having made it very difficult for States and localities to police themselves, having left ordinary citizens with no choice but to protect themselves as best they can, they now try to take our guns away. In fact they blame us and our guns for crime. This is so wrong that it cannot be an honest mistake.” – former U.S. Sen. Malcolm Wallop (R-Wy.)
