AR15 A2 buttstock extender I finally found one 09/01/2017

Everyone who has fired multiple firearms know that some firearms just fit some people better than others .
I myself am not a small individual at just a hair under 6'3'' and weighing in around 275 Lbs. tend to like Firearms on the bigger side .
Normally I can adjust myself to were something is usable but If it something I wanna keep I want it to fit me the way I want to use it .
A while back I assembled my first AR15 . I had shot one before but never owned one and for the most part this was a M4 ish milspec ish build .

The first thing I decided was that I was not comfortable shooting the gun .
The first thing I noticed was that when shooting in my preferred stance . My wrist was at a uncomfortable angle and I didn't like the position of my elbow or the angle my arm was bending at .
I was really kinda shocked as I have guns with a similar length .
After doing some comparisons to other rifles I have with pistol grips I came to the conclusion to make it more usable I needed a more vertical grip angle .
What I also realized was that to get what I really wanted and what comfortable with I was gonna a longer length of pull .
I being a cheap Individual Most of the Collapsible stock options cost more than I want to spend and were not gonna let me gain the inch + that I wanted .
I pretty quickly decided A2 buttstock was the cheapest place to start after hearing about a product from DPMS It was a 1 inch buttstock extender .

Problem was the dang thing was discontinued . " How hard could it be to find one"
At least for me it has been hard to find one new ,used, or otherwise.

In the mix of looking I see Knights Armament was making one but it was discontinued as well .
After looking for several months I finally found some one who is making one .

This wonderful company the answer to my prayers is 
"Buttstock Extender Add's 1/2", 1", 1-1/2", or 2" to Overall Length of buttstock. Can be used with any standard length stock that has a standard length buffer tube."
Hallelujah .

Century Arms C308 basic forearm options . Cetme G3 HK91

Well lets start with what fits:

 Replacing forearms " front handgaurd " may require a little fitting like some sanding , filing or a Dremel maybe handy if it was desighned for the HK G3 or HK91  .


Cetme rifle sight bases " triple trees " have a raised ridge that fits under the forearm the HK91 does not. As you can see the ridge has been removed from  the sight base on the right side to allow a better fit  . I find it easier and preferable to remove material from the forearm to make them fit .





Early Cetme rifles used a ventilated sheet metal forearm
 with a built in Bipod like the one  pictured above.
They are a bit uncommon but I'm sure if a person looks they can find one .






Wood forearms are available and were used on the Cetme, G3 and HK91 .
 There seems to be several variations .
The Cetme forearms seem to be retained buy a screw that passes through the front of the front of the forearm and HK types seem to use push pins .  They are pretty easy to get a hold of but condition varies along with the price . 



Century Arms C308's have came with Plastic Forearms based On the G3/HK91 slim forearms but they are not a perfect copy . The number one difference is they lack a internal metal heat shield and tend to heat up faster during sustained fire.




The G3 plastic slim forearms are available in pretty good shape for very low prices in a variety of colors and are therefore a great way to change the Look of your C308 without spending a lot of money .



G3 wide forearm with bipod popular and expensive .
