    If you collapse a stock completely on a carbine receiver extension, it often does not contact the end plate either and there's a small bit of room.
    I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm just trying to understand the terminology here.

    When you say "completely," I think you mean "as far as it goes."

    If a stock collapses "completely," then I would expect the front of the stock to be flush against the end plate, or pretty damned close — my M4 has a 1/16" gap.

    If there's always at least a 3/4" gap between the end plate and the stock (even when the stock is collapsed "as far as it goes"), then I would say that that combination does NOT collapse "completely."

    This all explains why you fully collapse the stock when mortaring so that the impact is on the rear of the SE and not the pin which holds the stock in place. I learn slowly.

    So, because I am not likely oging to get to feel an Emod lower on a LW 16" upper with FSP/Rail, how DOES it feel? Ordering the whole A5 kit makes much more sense money wise, and the Emod is reportedly the most rugged collapsible stock. I suppose if it adds too much weight, I can swap to my DD M4 setup - It may balance the heavier upper.

    I figured the same thing. If you look at my pictures, you can clearly see that the stocks do not collapse completely flush with the castle nut. The only collapse as far as the A5 rec. ext. will allow them to.

    Perhaps it would be better to say that the stocks will not lock into the shortest position on the A5 receiver extension.

    Could an Emod be helpful for a 16" DDM4 with 12" FSP and Troy convertible grip and light on the front? It gets a tad front heavy?.

    I'm running a DD 16" M4 carbine gas CHF barrel now and I would hardly call it "over gassed" the notion that all carbine systems are "over gassed" at least from a negative performance standpoint is preposterous. I run a BCM H2 and standard BCM carbine action spring and this setup has done exceptionally well with various kinds of ammo, both quality and low powered steel case wolf/Tula.

    So, do you think the A5 system is overblown?

    No I cannot say that, I'm sure the A5 has its applications. I cant comment on the A5, I've never used it. I'm just saying that I don't consider all carbine systems to be over gassed atleast not mine. Unless you were saying that all carbine systems are by nature over gassed due to the shorter gas tube. Maybe I just got a good barrel with an in spec gas port.

    I tried to ask a question in a previous thread about how it seems like people post a lot about their various system problems and different ways they try to tune their rifles. I do not to this point seem to have any problems with a carbine length system. The thread was closed and I was told they people have problems because the are dicking with their guns and don't know what they are doing, I wonder if that included the A5 crowd?

    If you read the thread on AR General discussions and follow the link there are about 20+ pages of reports on the A5 in all types of carbines - folks really think it makes a difference in cycling. I'm about to pull the trigger on a stock, and this seems to be the way to go.

    I'm mostly wondering about which VLTOR stock now - Emod Vs. Imod...
