The 4 position stock seems like its short even with the 4th position. Anyone else notice this? Are they assuning you wil be wearing a heavy coat?

[capstan]

Is it possible to lengthen the stock by screwing out of the frame more??

[BE Wild Willy]

I'm also curious about this as I'v stayed away from the CAR type stock due to its short length of pull. Can they be extended?

[Malysh]

No, you cannot unscrew the extension tube to get more length of pull for shouldering the rifle.
Perhaps there are after market tubes that are longer. I don't know. I stay with the standard length tubes.
I'd suggest shooting it and getting used to it.

I forgot to add that the extension tube nut is staked in place with Colts CAR type stocks. This can be defeated but it makes removing the extension tube harder.

I believe that the Magpul ACS and the Vltor E-Mod are longer than the standard Colt collapsible stock. If so, that would just be a matter of ordering the stock and switching it out.

The Vltor A5 receiver extension is 3/4" longer than a stock Colt extension, but that's a little more expensive and involves a little more work to install if you don't have the tools yourself.
