I have a spare ar 15 stock and I can't ID the proper length buffer tube for it. The stock is shorter than an A2 stock but longer than a collapsible stock. Anybody have any ideas how to determine what length tube fit it?

I used to know this stuff, but as I get older I get stupider and stupider.

The standard A1 stock is shorter than the standard A2 stock. The standard A1 and A2 fixed stock use the same length buffer tube (receiver extension) but a buttstock spacer and longer screw is used for the A2 stock.
