Receiver Extension Question

All, after this dialog, http://m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=64663, I started procurement of parts. I’m sitting on a JP precision stripped lower, Vltor MUR upper, hogue grip, and magpul trigger guard. It is a slippery slope:laugh:

I have been looking at the rear stock/extension parts, and would like your opinions about actual differences between a RE from say, BCM, Noveske, and Vltor. There seems to be both a difference in prices and a shortage of parts, so I don’t have as many options for a “quick” purchase as I expected.

I would like to buy at least the RE, castle nut, buffer, and spring from one outfit. I’ve settled on the Noveske QD end plate. the RE must be milspec dimensions.

Thoughts?

I have receiver extensions from BCM, Noveske, and VLTOR. I also have one from PWS (enhanced) - but that’s another story. I think you could give them a miss.

I see no difference between those three, except the VLTOR has little position numbers on it that show through the hole on the back of my iMod stock. Personally, I don’t think it matters - all are good quality.

Thanks for your input (and insight:-)

I am toying with an EMOD kit for the entire rear end. Still playing with numbers to see if that is the best buy, though.

I was also looking at the MagPul ACS stock, thinking that if I went that way, I would need to build the RE and associated parts separately. This morning I knew which stock I wanted, now I’m not so sure…
