I just bought a used Bushmaster. It has the "standard" butt stock. As in the military, I find the stock is about 3/4 of an inch too short for me for comfortable shooting. What is the best way to lengthen the stock? What is the easiest?
TIA;

The easiest is a hunk'a 3/4" plywood and duct tape. The best is something else. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.........sorry to make ya waste that TIA!
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

Check out Brownells.com they have stock spacers. I'm 5'10" and find that in reality I like the A1 shortest stock the best. But my glasses get bumped by the rear sight all the time and that forces me to use the A2 stock unfortunately. YMMV

"...waste that TIA! Well, at least you didn't tell me to wear a thicker jacket. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> BTW, it seems I have an A2 stock.

Funny thing is I like the short stock in matches. But for reasons I have to use the long stock. And since I shoot under strict equipment rules the only way I can get the pull to work with my glasses the best way is to add an extra pad inside my shooting jacket <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks guys:
I ordered a 1" extender from Brownells ($30 plus shipping with some other stuff). I should have it in a few days.
