Toughest ar stock?
- Thread starter Jarrett M

in the toughness category I’ve never seen a quality stock(magpul, bcm, mft ect) fail under normal circumstances, but which ever you like, I personally like bcm and mft.
You probably shouldn't own guns due to your unwillingness to adhere to a minimal standard of comms and your inability to recognize social cues as shown in your other thread.

Huh ?
As to OPs original question. Original Magpul UBR was extremely strong (yet very heavy) it fare better than the others in the gearscout torture test couple of years ago.
It had fucking better.
That thing could re-enter the atmosphere at dinosaur killing speeds and when the aliens found the destroyed wreckage of our cities that stock would be in the middle of the continent spanning crater looking like you just pulled it out of the box.
The one with the least parts, so original solid stock.
But if you remotely take care of your stuff, don’t use it to hammer in railroad spikes, probably any of them will outlast most of their shooters.
But I’d you want a good performer that’s also super basic simple, as with most things AR JP makes a good choice

OP is a big weirdo but solid question:
I have seen a lot of broken things....
And have seen more than one lower receiver cracked at the receiver extension threads, so... not sure I want a terribly much stronger stock, let it fail before the gun does.
I have seen a lot of broken things....
- The original plastic telefolder. Several of these, mostly the toe cracking off, but also a couple of the adjuster levers breaking. Often ignored and you stick a rubber buttpad over it, tape it on around the remaining toe and call it a day. I think maybe none of the "new" telescoping carbine stock though so they seem to have fixed that eventually and long ago.
- A1 stocks, all older fiberglass types. with longitudinal cracks. Seen people just duct tape them together for months at a time.
- A2 stocks, issue and aftermarket. Especially on the toe, if not molded right or not assembled right I guess, something about the gap around the sling swivel and screw and buttplate leaves it weak and it cracks under pretty routine field use, though it may not on the benchrest range of course.
- Um... I forget the name. Back when there were no Magpul stocks, and it was Colt styles, Crane if you signed a contract, VLT0R and... the other one I never owned. That other one, friend stumbled for good reason crossing a road in front of 30 students while we demoed patch to the road, planted the muzzle on a rock and took the butt to his chest. Cracked off part of the buttplate. Gun worked fine the rest of the training cycle (a few days) and he replaced the part, for free as it shouldn't break and it was a modular stock so easy to replace parts of it.
And have seen more than one lower receiver cracked at the receiver extension threads, so... not sure I want a terribly much stronger stock, let it fail before the gun does.
Has anyone noticed this thread refers to another thread that refers to this one.
It's like we're in a time loop.

Dammit, here I was feeling that I had my AR shit squared away, and now I'm wondering if my stocks have what it takes to get the job done. I don't even know what that job is supposed to be - breaching tool? scaffolding? posturing on the internet? - but maybe I'm putting myself, my family, and the whole dang neighborhood at risk.
In the late 90s, early 2000s, it is reputably reported that a large LE agency actually asked someone to make them a stronger stock (and got it, big order) for their shotguns because... they used them to break down doors, and they kept breaking the existing stocks.
It is left as an exercise for the reader to determine where the gun is pointing when the lead guy in the stack has his shotgun pointed such that he can use the butt as a battering ram
Most LE agencies have "working" entry techniques because the suspects are compliant or have an IQ of 34...before Meth.
Yeah, the vast majority of his post are either "Buy 'this?' or 'that?", or "I'm thinking ____".....You probably shouldn't own guns due to your unwillingness to adhere to a minimal standard of comms and your inability to recognize social cues as shown in your other thread.

If my stock broke, I think I'd probably just buy another one.
But the internet is a frightening place.
I was hunting a few years ago, on a wet snowy winter's day, one of those days where it might have been better to stay inside. Because of that, I had the bad weather rifle, a short 6.5 Grendel AR. That evening, off in the hills, far from camp, something happened. At one point I felt something odd, unusual. A strange feeling with my rifle. I realized my stock moved. I looked at it and realized was able to wiggle the stock slightly. My un-staked castle nut had come loose.
Remembering everything I'd read on the internet, I immediately threw my hands in the air and cried out "Oh God I'm going to die!" A few moments of paralyzing fear, then panic. Followed by several minutes of interspersed crying and sobbing. I knew I was done for. I'd never see my loved ones again. "Why me lord!?"
After a spell, I started to think "no goddamn it, I'm going to live!" So I did the unthinkable. It's amazing what lengths a human can go to when faced with their own mortality, amazing resolve or seemingly super human feats of strengths. When faced with life and death situations people are capable of amazing things. I decided then and there I wouldn't go down without a fight. So I did the unthinkable. I reached down and with only the slightest bit of force, I tightened the castle nut back down with my fingers.
I know what you're thinking. Generally don't like to tell this story on the internet, because no one believes me. It sounds like some farcical tale that only noobs and non operators would believe. It couldn't possibly be true. I don't believe it myself at times, it doesn't seem possible that I could've have survived such an inescapably deadly situation. But here I am.

Guess I keep missing the drama lol
Just get the CTR or a fixed stock or whatever. You gotta be doing something really fucking stupid to break a modern stock unless you got some airsoft stock and even then the Chinese injection plastics will still hold up

I put together a lower for my nephew a couple months ago and needed a buffer tube on short notice, so I stole the one off that rifle. When I replaced it, I did finally tighten it up with a wrench. So like five years later. lmao
(still not staked)
I had an acquaintance tell me in the Army he saw a guy fold the buffer tube over at the receiver, "mortar"-ing it on a cement slab repeatedly, trying to clear a malfunction, but I don't know anyone who's broke a stock.
A writing class?

I was thinking a survivalist/operator/emotional trauma preparedness class, but writing would be beneficial also.
