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!

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.

I knew rost would have the right answer anyway. Nice to know you can count on some things in this world!

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="" />

try midway www.midwayusa.com

part # 613-589

should be a 1" extension that screws in between the stock and receiver. i have used them on all 3 of my ars and they work great and dont attract much attention that they werent originally designed there

all 3 of my ars run the dpms 1" extender, that screws in between the stock and reciever. is strogn and looks good. isnt the cheapest i found but the best IMHO of course YMMV

midway usa www.midwayusa.com sells em for like 30 bucks. its part # 613-589

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

The extention arrived today and I put it on. Works great, thanks Rost.
