Gun Cabinet for AR's

[SteelCityArcher]

I need some advice. I'm building a gun cabinet and I want to make sure it will accommodate any AR's in the future. I don't have an AR yet, so I can't take any measurements.

What I need to know is the measurement of a typical AR butt-stock.
Will they fit in the openings found in regular gun cabinets for the butt-stocks? The plans call for making the opening 2" wide and 5 1/2 inches long to accomodate rifles and shotguns. Will this be sufficient for AR's also?

Look at the pic please. The dimensions for butt-stock openings is what I need to accommodate AR's.

Thanks for any help!

Might get a answer in the "Semi Auto" section of the forum. I don't own an AR, sorry.

On an A2 stock without the trapdoor I'm measuring about 5.015 length and 1.785 width.
