photos of CAR-15 butt stock
I found some additional photos of the CAR-15 butt stock that I restored back in 2013, The stock came from the Rock Island salvage yard (along with some nice green butt stocks) long time ago.
I did install the stock on a Colt SP1 semi auto manufactured in 1974. Barrel has a welded extension. I made the triangular handguards. I understand the army considered this type of sliding stock too complicated. Attachment 133239Attachment 133240Attachment 133241
