Making an AR-15 stock longer?

[DealWithIt]

I have a friend that is wanting an AR-15 but he is 6'-4" and wants a longer stock than the standard 6-position stock. Is there an extension or anything that can lengthen the stock besides just adding a butt pad?

Thanks.

Does he shoot nose to charging handle? Nobody but Andre the Giant should need a longer stock.

I have one in use on a build using a Bushmaster 20 Inch Upper. It's nice, has a provision for a QD sling swivel and has lots of storage compartments too.

A guy in my unit (formerly, he's transferred) was 6'8 and another was 6'6 and the shot the M4 collapsing stock, fully extended (A2 length) just fine.

Just how long is this guy's arms?

I've tried to explain to him that he doesn't need a longer stock but he wants one.

Were they wearing Body Armor when they shot the M4?

That does make a difference.

Thanks for the help guys. I finally convinced him that he didn't need a longer stock but he could if he wanted to.

I have a 79 1/2" reach, and can shoot the 1 notch in on the standard 6 position stock just fine.

Sometimes they were, but they shot without armor just fine. The 6'8 guy was so big he made an M16 look like an M4. He literally couldn't drive a Humvee (not enough leg room).
