Speaking of "S.W.A.T. Magazine", Pat Rogers (a.k.a. Patrick A. Rogers) wrote an excellent and highly informative article titled "Ergonomic Carbine Stocks: New Choices for the Serious Shooter" in the December 2003 issue about three high-end buttstock systems (2 collapsible/telescoping, 1 fixed) for for AR-15/M16-based carbines, i.e. the M4 Carbine. They are the SULLY Stock, VLTOR Modstock (both Standard and Clubfoot), and Magpul M93A Modular Stock System. These buttsstocks would also probably make worthy additions to SOPMOD-style CQB subcarbines.

DefRev highly recommends that you…
read it, especially if you have any interest in AR-15/M16 Carbines/Subcarbines whatsoever.
