Long story short, decided I wanted a fixed stock on my AR. I decided on a Magpul Fixed Carbine stock. Problem is, it was a touch too short. You had to push it all the way forward so the tension screw would go past the buffer tube rail. The stock only ran $30 at Academy. The full length fixed stock was $70. You can buy an extended butt pad but it's another $20. What to do, what to do? Enter the angle grinder. After finding the exact position I wanted the stock which also doesn't interfere with the buffer tube (in case I wanted to go back to a collapsible stock) I used my angle grinder with a thin wheel to cut a slot out just big enough for the tension screw to go through. The result is a fixed stock that is positioned exactly to fit me, with the ability to go back to a collapsible stock, and all for only $30. Best of all, it is solid as an A2 stock to me.
