Even if I sell it for $750~800, I would be happy. I dunno... there is so much I want to do with the damned thing that sometimes it makes sense just to build a whole new upper. What I really want is a mid-length 16" upper with a 1/7 twist chrome lined barrel with standard (AR) hand guards and an A2 stock. It would be like a "mini-M-16" utilizing irons or my optic. Making all those changes to my current AR is cost prohibitive. So much I can do... so little money...

This AR stuff is so tough to do... modding it, getting things done right. I love my Stag-1, but... it's not what I want in a rifle, and I think I might sell it to fund the AR build I've been wanting. I paid $900 for it during the Obama Gun Boom of 2009, and I took care of it and put 300 rounds through it. If I decided to sell... how much should I ask for it?

WOOOOOOOOO! Made my night last night.

So is a Sully Stock an A1 Stock?

What's the big difference here between the two?

One of the funniest shows that no one saw. I have the entire contents on my hard drive. OMG, I agree. I watch it religiously... and each time i notice more of the subtle humor.

Talk to this guy.

Analysis of Russian combat capabilities to date: Naval Forces: Russia's Navy suffered the worst of all their military branches since the end of the Cold War. Many vessels were left in complete disrepair and crews had their training budgets slashed. Today, Russia lacks the ability to sortie the bulk of their surface forces as their operational readiness and equipment maintenance is sub par. The Russian Navy today is effectively a green water navy that cannot operate far from the mainland. The only real power projection they have is their submarine forces, but these are grossly outnumbered by US and NATO navies, as well as suffering from the aforementioned lack of maintenance and training. Air Forces: The Russian Air Force lacks critical equipment to achieving and maintaining air dominance in enemy airspace for a prolonged period of time. Their Air Force also does not utilize mid-air refueling and AWACS to the same extent as the USAF does. Individually, their high-end aircraft are excellent (Su-35, Su-27, Mig-35), but the lack of systems integration and refueling support hinders their ability to truly be effective over the long term. The Russian Air Force also lacks a sustained bomber capability (but this is being remedied by resumed Tu-160 production) Land Forces: Probably remains the best equipped. The vast majority of their high end equipment is located in the South and the East to counter the Chinese threat. Training in their special operations units remains superb, however their regular forces can be hit or miss in terms of quality. Armor units, helicopter units, are all relatively unchanged. The big thing here, like their air forces, is their supply train. Russia cannot deploy significant forces abroad, nor do they have the ability to support them. Recent Combat Experience: Following the end of the Cold War, the Russians were involved in several operations: Yugoslavia, Chechnya, and Georgia. Georgia, to date, was one of Russia's best successes, building on a lot of experience gained in Chechnya. That experience, from Chechnya, was gained in exchange for the loss of a lot of blood and equipment. Early operations showed the ineptness of Russian commanders in sending armored forces into cities with little to no infantry protection. Conclusion: Don't invade Russia, they'll make you pay for it. But don't worry too much about them invading us or anyone of our allies, it would be a short-lived war.

Wow, thanks for the info! So does this mean I can slip a VLTOR Emod onto the existing buffer tube and simply bolt it into the one hole?

Grenade Launcher... why fret about having 15 or 30 rounds when you can use one 40mm to blow it up?

Change the design. I figure I can just put the VLTOR Emod stock onto it, remove the current stock, and bolt it in. It seems like the stock I have is a standard collapsible, that has the spring pin removed and replace with a regular one.

Oh, I was asking for the length of an A2 buffer tube. Not carbine.

How long is a standard buffer tube? I can measure mine and see... it may save me on buying a new spring + weight.

From the looks of things, I have the flat-backed one (MIL-SPEC), but it's a lot longer than a carbine buffer tube, and only has one hole in it for stock position.

So... for an ACE Skeleton stock (big one), I'll need a new buffer tube? How about the VLTOR E-Mod? Can I just buy the stock component, slip it on, and pin/drill a new hole into the tube to keep it in place?

Below are a few pictures of my current stock on my Stag Model 1. It looks like a faux collapsible stock because the tube is waaaay longer than it needs to be to be adjustable. Not to mention, it doesn't have the holes for adjusting the stock either. So... what are my stock choices? What is the easiest stock upgrade I can make? I was thinking of either going light and going ACE Skeleton stock -OR- Going all out and getting a VLTOR E-Mod stock. Questions: If I get the ACE Skeleton stock... would I need to order a new buffer tube? How long? If I get the VLTOR, can I simply slide it onto the existing tube, drill a new hole to the proper length, and pin it as is?

From Morristown to Easton, PA : 56 minutes From Morristown to Bridgewater : 27 minutes From Morristown to Cherry Ridge : 57 minutes Big difference between Easton and CR... Joining CR helps our cause in NJ. Bridgewater's range is not accepting new members at this time. Bullet Hole (32 minute drive) is O.K., but it's a bit crowded, and isn't fun to shoot an AR at (for me anyways). I like longer ranges for that.

You use an aftermarket front flip up?

Here is an odd one: In California, their AWB has a couple of interesting workaround including the use of a hybrid stock/pistol grip to get by their evil features list. So... question: If I got one of these hybrid stock/grips, would that mean I could then have a A2 Flash Hider on my AR? (sans a bayo lug of course)

I moved to Morristown recently. Bought a condo here.

No. Paper or Clay, that's it. Sigh... I guess I'll join up and petition till the cows come home to open one up.

I checked the CR website... does it have a "plinking" range? Basically a 25 yard one where you can shoot anything at anything? Like a .45ACP versus a watermelon? Or 5.56mm versus a garden gnome? Granted, you'd have to clean up after yourself...

Check Cabelas periodically for Lake City arsenal 5.56mm ammo. Preferably on stripper clips. Sometimes they'll have a good deal for a 1000 round box.
