Is an AR15 butt stock swap difficult?

How difficult is it to switch the collapsable AR15 butt stock with a standard solid one? I'm considering making my "Shorty" into a varmit heavy-barrel varmit shooter.

Do they make butt stocks with a higher comb for shooting with a scope or is it unnecessary?

comb

The height of the comb depends on if you have a cut off carrying handle. If you have the original hangle you will need to hold your cheek off the stock or get a riser.

I'm going to put on a bull barrel flat top upper. No handle.

Hoser, its not dificult if you know what your doing. In AR terms, the height of your face against the stock is called a cheek weld. They are add-ons or as stock replacements. Check the websites for companies like:
ADCOFirearms.com
Ameetecarms.com
Bushmaster.com
Cavalryarms.com
DPMS.com
Fulton-Armory.com
Be advised the full size stock uses a different buffer, buffer tube, spring, lockring, in other words everything. So get a complete stock set.
