Ruger SR556C question

[tranefan]

I just ordered an SR556C which should arrive early next week. I've also ordered a Cavalry Arms C1 stock with which I am going to switch out the factory stock because I'm just not a fan of collapsible stocks. Have any of you done this or know someone who installed a fixed stock on any of the SR556 models? Were there any problems? Thanks in advance for any assistance. tf

Hello tranefan, great to see another NC member, (man do I miss Wilmington & Mooresville) Checked some Ruger forum posts, came across some stock change advice. I have the Sig556, prior to the SR, but have shot the SR, I hope this may help.

Welcome to DRTV, Michael Bane, did a review of the SR556, (as well as the Sig556, which is why I bought one in 08) , perhaps he'll chime in to offer his valuable two cents.

No experience with the Cav Arms stock on a SR556 but I put an Ace stock on one for a buddy and it worked just fine. It uses the full length A1 style fixed receiver extension so there shouldn't be any real difference.
