  1. Howdy! If you still have a build with that Magpul MOE rifle stock, could you measure the Length of Pull?
    On the Magpul site it states for the MOE rifle stock ~ 13.5" for LOP (which is same for an A2 stock).
    But from the video images it appears that, if you line up the A2 stock and the MOE rifle stock by the back of the receiver,
    the MOE rifle stock is actually less than 13.5" (I'm guessing maybe 12.75" LOP) — yes/no?
    Thank you.

  2. In these states that have many restrictions , or hoop jumps if you will , makes me feel fortunate that i live in good ole ky , firearm restrictions , none . Great vid. Sub+ 1 , im myself wish i had went with a A2 stock instead of a carbine , its just doesn't feel right standing 6ft,3inches with long arms . I suppose a rifle build is in order .

  3. Thanks for the video man. But we CAN, in fact, have collapsible butt stocks on fixed magazine rifles! Along with any other normal feature on an AR like a removable muzzle device. As you know all your ARs there are not considered AWs cus they are either featureless or have fixed magazines. So on the fixed magazine rifles you can have any thing just as if it were a bolt action rifle with a muzzle device and collapsible stock! I recently realized some of these aspects of the SAFE Act that I had wrong assumptions about as well.

  4. Great and informative explanation style. I liked it a lot. I have bought a Ruger AR 556 with a collapsible stock. I have been contemplating switching to a Fixed stock like the one in the middle. Please , elaborate as to:
    1. Could it be done ? Any proprietary limitation from Ruger?
    2. Brand of reputable stock, spring , etc.. you would recommend.
    3. Can I do it with an average knowledge of assembly and disassembly?
    Thank you so very much for your reply .
