I https://www.cavmfg.com/C1-Buttstock-C1.htm. I order mine from cav arms.

Still a CMMG @ $100 bucks but not many choices for Full kits. Just the A1 stocks are aplenty but kits are a bit harder at the moment. I'll keep looking for ya.

Anyone I find that's less than $100 is Out of Stock. The CMMG is good stuff !

Why not go with vintage stuff?

Here is the thing, NONE of those stocks mentioned are A1 E type stocks. The only way you are going to get a real A1 type stock is to find an original. Brownells has discontinued their repro stocks, although they were repros of a D type stock. US Collectors Ordnance is a good place to look for originals, but they will be pricey.

With the Cavalry Arms product what are you giving up other than authenticity?

This is a real original E type stock as used on the M16A1 from 1971-1982.





You can see the difference in design and material between this one and the others being offered by those who have been aforementioned.

Check with AR15sports I got several original A1 parts a few years ago from them.

They're flemsy as F@#K!! Even if you upgrade the cheap ass butt plate it comes with, the stock is still weak. I could grab mine and twist it on the RE because you can't get it tight enough to be solid.

I'm a big A1 stock fan. The best I could find was vintage pull off of surplus. They don't have butt plate doors, but a solid stock without storage is more important than a cheapo with storage.

The strongest A1 length stock I ever tried was the Magpul Fixed carbine. It doesn't have the classic buttstock look, but it is a friggin tank.

I'll scratch that off the list. It seems there are no good contemporary shorter-than-A2 options for the rifle extension, fixed or adjustable. I wish the UBR Gen2 was not so expensive.
