CAR Stock needed for early M4.

A Colt H buffer
A Colt new style castle nut
Colt endplate
Colt silver recoil spring, as opposed to a bronze colored one.

This is correct. I was first issued it in 2002, and had it until 2006. I can PM you the SN of the weapon if it would be of any importance.

I am sorry to start any sort of controversy over the wording of my post, and in retrospect I should have been more clear.

I really REALLY want to keep the gun all Colt. However, if it just isn't going to happen it just isn't going to happen. I am already pissed that for reasons beyond the scope of this thread the lower will have to be non-Colt.

I have been shopping for a 6921 Upper to which a KAC Flashhider/suppressor mount will be attached with a spacer to bring it to 16.1".

ETA: I already have on hand-

Matech BUIS
KAC RAS Kit, Complete
Surefire M951
Aimpoint Comp-M2 (M68) with the Aimpoint Mount
LRB Lower (fairly close to a Colt in shape...well it was a gift anyway)
Colt complete LPK including A2 grip
Colt 4-POS RE

Oh and when it is done it will be krylon'd out, just like my M4 was.

The forums are not a dumping ground for cheap aftermarket stuff. This stuff needs to be dealt with over PM or the EE. My post in red was not directed specifically at you. Thank you for your understanding.

Do you have any pictures of it?

PM sent...I believe I've got what you need. Colt N1 marked stock, 4 position buffer tube, and silver spring. Buffer is MIA, and youd still need castle nut and endplate.

This was purchased direct from a Colt dealer years ago, for a 9mm build that never happened (bought a 6450 instead)

I have a question:

If I found just the stock somewhere, will it not fit and work with a modern 6-position extension tube?

The CAR stock will work with a 6 pos tube.

ETA: Mil spec RE not commercial.
