Commercial collapible stock LOP increase options?

[rodregier]

I recently acquired an Aero Survival Rifle (ASR) that comes with an AR15 pattern "commercial" tube diameter collapsible stock.

I have very long arms, so the LOP even with the collapsible stock fully extended is too short for my comfort.

What are my lower-cost options for extending the LOP?

I would like to avoid total replacement of the collapsible stock assembly for cost reasons.

The collapsible stock spacers I could find are apparently dedicated to a specific manufacturer system.

The Canadian version of the ASR comes with an 18.75" barrel which puts it into the least constrained Canadian federal legal category. That also means that adding to the stock length won't create a receiver+stock length in excess of the barrel length, so the compactness of the system when taken down would not be impaired.

Depending on the model of your stock, your best bet might be a slip-on or screw-on recoil pad, some can add 3/4".

The included/integrated collapsible stock has no obvious-to-me model markings of it's own, so I'm uncertain how to reference to a particular manufacturer for possible accessory comparability.

Ahh, slip-on eh?

Like this?

When I googled the Aero Survival Rifle, I got pictures that appear to include this stock:

This is the same stock I have on my AR15, minus the recoil pad. I have tried an aftermarket slip-on pad on mine. It was not a PERFECT fit, but I feel with minimal trimming with a razor knife, and some silicone or 3M adhesive that it may not need, it would work. For much cheaper, this:

might be a better fit out of the box, but I have no experience with it. Reviews claim it adds 1/2"

I'm going to try the Limbsaver. It seems to offer the largest increase in LOP for a slip-on product.

I concur badkarmamib, the ASR provisioning seems to match the Ultimate Arms Gear Predator Stock product.

The Limbsaver doesn't fit the Ultimate Arms collapsible stock plate. {sigh}

Ultimate Arms sells a pad that *is* compatible with their own stock, working on acquiring one.

I would be interested in one for mine. Let me know the details when you get it, please. Subscribing to this thread...

For the proprietary Ultimate Arms collapsible stock butt plate I just ordered this Ultimate Arms pad:

None of the normal add-on pads fit the OEM collapsible stock on the ASR, so I went with the Magpul ACS-L and the Magpul MAG317-BLK upgrade pad.

The upgrades permitted a significant improvement on the LOP, and also provided a wider stock comb which was welcome.

My choices were shaped by Canadian availability.
