Need help witn a new AR stock

[goon]

I am planning to replace the stock on my Olympic AR with a better one. The collapsible stock that is on it is functional for now but it just seems kind of cheap and it rattles too much.
I am looking for a collapsible stock that doesn't rattle much (I know that because of how they are made they will probably rattle a little bit no matter what). Less is better.
The construction on mine also seems a little cheesy. The nut that holds the adjustment handle on fell off when I first got it so I center punched it a few times to keep it from working loose again but I want the arrangement with the roll pin through the nut instead.
I am also planning to replace the plastic factory buffer with a standard carbine buffer. The gun works perfectly with the one that is in it but trust metal over plastic. I am thinking standard weight will do but I have also seen heavier buffers around. What are they for?

I am looking at M4 stocks from Calvary Arms, ACE, and Stag Arms. What is my best bet? Have I overlooked any?
I would like to order one this week before I go back to work.
Thanks.

BTW - I put this here because it is more about a part than the actual rifle. Sorry if it should have been in the rifle forum.

Bring money, lots of money.

Here is my RRA with a VLTOR stock. No rattles



Make sure you buy a milspec buffer tube if you buy a milspec buttstock.

Yikes!
That is just a wee bit outside of my budget.
I would prefer to get a better stock on it for less than about $75.
Sorry. I should have mentioned that.

Thanks though.

LOL!
I don't have one either.
They are very nice though, as you can see from GoRon's pic.
Solid as a rock. I have not seen a better quality one, but you pay for it.
I'll put one on my M16 eventually.

The Cavalry Arms stocks do not rattle. They are the current government contractor for M16 furniture.
madmike has the OD colors and may be able to get other colors he's a member and distributor.
You can pm him or email him.

Thanks.
I have been doing some research though and there are apparently two different sized buffer tubes for AR's - one military and one commercial.
I have to get my calipers out and measure my buffer to know what size stock my rifle takes.
I think...
