Best Way to Shorten Length of Pull?

[dlrector]

What's the best way to shorten length of pull on FAL? I've looked at Kaiserworks lower that uses an AR collapsible stock, but it positions the head too low for a good cheek weld, particularly if using optics. I've thought about a para setup and cutting the tubes shorter, but that's an expensive method, and while paras look cool, I don't think they work all that well. Does anybody make a short fixed stock, or at least a THIN buttpad? Any other ideas?

Why do you think that?

I'd kind of like to know what you're thinking too.

I can't claim to speak for Director, but I can say I strongly prefer the fixed stock over a para. The para works okay, true, but I find it somewhat less comfortable a cheekweld, and I'm guessing ot's a bit heavier. Great if you're jumping out of aircraft/helos, or riding around in an APC or something, or if you've got a storage space problem, but otherwise it doesn't strike me to be as practical as the fixed stock. Sling attachment isn't as useable, and useless if you are a lefty.
Sure, it looks cool, nothing wrong with that, but looks ain't necessarily the most important factor ------my exwife is a prime example:rolleyes:
Just MHO - except for the last line - that's a fact !:eek:

Century has a stock that is shorter than most. Tapco sold them at one time.
