-Acquired a Bushmaster “Carbon 15” M4 a number of years ago. (I know…I know…but actually it was a fine plinker.)
-Replaced the upper with a BCM 16" Midlength w/Magpul furniture and put the Bushie upper in the closet. Put an ACE fixed stock on the Bushie lower.
-Built a new lower (Rainier Arms), put the ACE on it and put the Bushmaster lower back on the Carbon 15 upper. So now I have 2 AR’s.
-The Bushmaster was minus a stock since I ebayed away the commercial tubed collapsible. I purchased a VLTOR mil-spec tube and recently put a Magpul MOE buttstock on it.
Opinions:
Im trying to decide which stock to put on the “plinker” and which to put on my primary. Would you rather the ACE or the MOE? I’ve shot both and can’t make up my mind so I thought I’d see if there was any sort of logical reason to choose one over the other.
I don’t know if people get some sort or masochistic pleasure out of being told what to do (esp. from strangers) or what. None of us can tell you what you like, or what works best for you.
Personally, I would put the ace stock on the plinker & vice versa.
start with your serious use gun. put any serious stuff you own on it. then whatever’s left over, put on your other gun. then sell it and duplicate your first…
