New guy looking for advice on his first build

[4SRecon]

How tall are you? Did you ever think of going shorter than the ACE stock?

I'm 6ft tall, and opted to go with the rubber pad ACE LTD offers as an option to attach to the butt of the stock. It gives you about an inch and a half to play with and also gives your stock a better sense of comfort (PHO). Your butt stock can't get any shorter than your buffer tube, so the answer to your question is no. I don't see any logical explanation for being that close to an optic or your iron's in the first place... and it doesn't seem to beneficial in any way.

With a collapsable stock at position 1 (completely collapsed) the stock is sitting flush with the back of the buffer tube. The ACE LTD ARFX stock is constantly in that position. It is within State/Federal Reg's installed on an AR15.

Here is a pic of the stock (rubber butt pad not pictured)



And I recant what I posted eearlier. I should have stated: Collapseable butt stocks are illegal to own on a shoulder fired rifle in New York with the exception of LEO/MIL.
