Longer ar15 adjustable stock

I currently have a Magpul 1LX50 stock on my AR15. Another inch of length of pull would be great.

Any stocks out there that are longer?

Does yours have the screws to remove the butt on the stock? Magpul sells spacers in different lengths and I think butt pads.

1LX50 is Magpuls cage code, not the model of stock. What model is yours?

Get a buffer tube designed for a large frame AR (308 AR), they are about 7/8" longer.

You will need to make sure there isn't a mismatch of buffer length to carrier travel, no?

Or just search for an A5 buffer tube. BCM sells their Mk2 system as a kit, or you can piece it together from B King's Firearms for like $60ish.

Correct. You need to run an A5 length buffer and rifle length spring in that set-up.
