Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing Help me with length of pull questions please

Stupid of me to take this long to think of the obvious.
If you have a collapsible stock AR, play with it.


If you don't! Why in the hell not?

Seriously, try one with a scope.
Try it in twisted, screwed up positions you might get in to shoot a deer.
I'd bet you will soon find that you can make the stock too long to
get a decent field of view. And that you all be shocked how short you
can make the stock and still use it.

A collapsible AR stock has nothing to do with this conversation, IMO.
An AR feels completely different than a typical classic sporter stocked hunting rifle. The pistol grip is completely different which affects the way you shoulder an AR vs a classic hunting rifle like the original poster is talking about. You can’t even compare the two.

And why would I be interested in seeing how short I can make a rifle stock and still use it?

I want a rifle stock that fits me, not something that’s too short but still useable. That’s a big part of the reason people buy custom stocks….cause the factory stock doesn’t fit them well.

Rant over.

Must have fired that to high for 6'2".


A pistol gripped AR is very comparable to any rifle.
Not to use for an exact number on LOP, but for a range.




Would explain more, but what you want to hear is,
"You
Are
Right".


So here goes.
You are right, it's easier to remove than add.


And it is better to sneak up on it than cut too short.

Whatever…
