Paulry 50 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Has anyone used this and can they post photos (side view hopefully) I like this and want to use AR grip and AR stock without cutting stock trunion. I just would like know it works and looks OK. I've seen some AR stock adapters that look like crap. http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/se...lapsible/Detail Quote Link to post Share on other sites
6500rpm 670 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 I have one and it works great and is well made. Has a hollow section with a cap inside for storing crap, or in my case, a mercury tube. There is another large complany, possibly Magpul, that makes one that's very close but U.S. made. No one can give me a difinative answer if a U.S. stock mounted on a CAA tube qualifies as a U.S. made part for 922r or not, but in most cases it doesn't matter. Tube is commercial diameter.

gpqueen 545 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 I think it is a great item. Very solid and looks clean. I use everything I sell and if I do not like it, I will not sell it. It looks great with the Magpul stocks and bolts in tight with no mods needed to the receiver. Very easy install. Greg This is one I am working on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulry 50 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Thanks, 6500RPM and CarolinaSS great photos! You guys answered my question perfectly. I like how clean it attaches to the rear and it includes a pair of rings for the sling clip. The only thing I was not sure about was the angle and it looks great! I plan on using this with an AK to AR grip adapter to install a AR grip. I'll post photos when done. Thanks again. Frosty, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nine-seven 0 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hey Greg- Is the square portion that fits into the receiver and attaches with bolts also made of aluminum? Thanks- Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SimpleIsGood229 3 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Does this tube have any rearward drop? In other words, is it completely parallel with the bore? Reason I ask is because the Tapco AR stock tube I have now, has rearward drop, which I am NOT liking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulry 50 Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hey Simple, It looks pretty damn straight to me. The one I hate is the ATI, and the one that looks the best is the cut off stock trunion ACE. The Tapco looks OK (the converted one). This one seems pretty good for a solid build yet keep the trunion (at some point I may change my mind on the stock trunion). I would have done this one but still had a little more ammo to go, just bought 1500 rounds and did a Saiganov 21" .223. I'm busy and pretty tapped out. I think this with a Magpul stock would be the ticket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reason I ask is because the Tapco AR stock tube I have now, has rearward drop, which I am NOT liking. No rearward drop. It stays parallel with the barrel. Here is 2 Jack Travers just did for me to sell. Both on the CAA tube. Magpul and CAA stock. Greg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SimpleIsGood229 3 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Thanks, guys. That helps. Fluid Power, have you noticed the drop in the Tapco T6 (for converted configuration)? CarolinaSS, do you offer discounts to S12.com members? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CarolinaSS, do you offer discounts to S12.com members? I try to keep my pricing and shipping as low as I can for everyone and I offer a much better customer service. We always ship within 24 hrs of purchase and I am one of the few that will call you back if you leave me a message. Greg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CarolinaSS, do you offer discounts to S12.com members? Simple, Yes the Tapco T6 does have a pronounced downward angle as does the Tapco folder. This will add to the felt recoil of the rifle. The straighter the better. This AR tube is better. Thanks Greg! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sacsucks 3 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 If you have never bought from Greg at Carolinas shooters, you can trust him. He is awesome and has great products and fast turn around like he said. I can vouch. Hes one of the few nice guys left when dealing with gun parts out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unclejake 428 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 +1 for Greg, there are none better out there than he!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dgunnar 0 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 +1 for Greg. I purchased this adapter with the CAA Stock and love it. Rock solid and slid right in! Having trouble uploading photos or I'd include one. Can anyone point me in the right direction, the help section didn't "help" to much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
