There are various AR-15 stocks on the market, but which one you select will depend on your requirements. When choosing one, take into account factors like budget, desired style, and legality in your state.
Magpul’s CTR Carbine Stock offers excellent features, such as its ambidextrous QD sling attachment points. Plus, its sleek profile prevents any snagging while concealing its release latch for ease of use.
LUTH-AR MBA
LUTH-AR MBA is a new AR-15 stock designed specifically to meet the requirements of competition shooters. With its modular design, you can tailor its butt plate and cheek riser configuration according to your personal preferences, plus set attachment points for sling use. Made from super strong glass-filled nylon for increased strength while weighing half as much as comparable models.
The LUTH-AR MBA-1 stock is designed for any precision AR build. Crafted from super glass-filled solid nylon for unparalleled durability at less than half the weight of other adjustable stores on the market, its design suits any shooting style as it can be adjusted for length of pull and cheek riser height. Furthermore, this ambidextrous option can even be adjusted in length of pull to meet individual shooting styles and can even be set ambidextrously for convenience.
The MBA-4 Carbine Buttstock requires either a Commercial or Mil-Spec buffer tube and features a paddle style adjustment lever to quickly position, with its wide flared cheek rest providing comfortable cheek weld. Furthermore, this buttstock comes equipped with both an anti-rattle set screw and bottom Picatinny rails.
MOE Fixed
While collapsible/adjustable stocks may be popular among AR carbines these days, fixed stocks offer some distinct advantages over their flexible counterparts. Selected stocks tend to be easier on your shoulders and don’t cause wobbling like many adjustable stores; furthermore, they tend to be more robust and affordable options.
The Magpul MOE Fixed buttstock is designed as a drop-in replacement buttstock for AR15/M4 rifles that use standard carbine length receiver extension (buffer tube). Featuring a slim profile, improved cheek weld, multiple sling attachment options, and compatibility with ASAP plates and extended PRS rubber butt pads (in both ASAP plates and developed PRS rubber butt pads forms), installation requires no armorer assistance or disassembling of castle nuts/lock plates or castle nut lock plates during setup/take down.
Magpul MOE Fixed doesn’t offer quite as many customization options but still provides an outstanding balance of durable stability and adaptable functionality at an unbeatably affordable price. Plus, its appearance looks fantastic – plus there are numerous reputable retailers online and offline offering it at unbeatably competitive rates.
Knoxx Axiom
The Knoxx Axiom II TH rifle stock is specially tailored to handle different rifle calibers and is an excellent choice for any shooter.

Furthermore, there’s a 14 cubic inch rear storage compartment designed for ammunition or accessories.
This AR-15 stock is an excellent choice for law enforcement and hunting use, being lightweight yet durable and easily installed onto standard mil-spec buffer tubes. Furthermore, there are various attachment points – including one QD swing swivel.
Blackhawk Axiom TH HOWA/ Weatherby Thumbhole Rifle Stock is an excellent solution for those seeking a compact yet functional AR-15 stock. Constructed of fiberglass-reinforced polymer with an ergonomic thumbhole pistol grip designed to reduce shoulder fatigue and recoil shock while helping shooters reach full accuracy potential, it includes two water-resistant storage tubes designed for holding CR123A lithium batteries.
SOPMOD BRAVO
The Bravo is an ideal upgrade option for MIL-SPEC AR-15 carbine users looking to improve their setup. It easily mounts to the receiver extension (buffer tube), with an easily adjustable set screw and internal stabilizers to reduce wobble. Plus, its high-grade polymer stock comes in several colors, including OD Green!
Mark Keller from B5 Systems: The BRAVO is designed to build on the success of its famous predecessor, the Enhanced SOPMOD, by offering all of its best features in a more accessible, smaller package without storage tubes. These include an anti-rotational QD sling socket mount and no slip-cushioned buttpad, among many other amenities.
Slings provide multiple advantages when attached to an AR-15, from faster follow-up shots and being able to quickly lay your weapon behind in case of emergency to being able to apply behind it without fear. To maximize these benefits, however, a suitable stock should accommodate multiple attachment points for your desired sling attachment points.

Selecting an AR-15 stock may seem complicated, but ultimately, it comes down to what your needs and wants are for your rifle.

Check your state laws carefully when selecting one for your AR-15 rifle.

Furthermore, this option comes equipped with a 0.5-inch recoil pad, which helps make shooting more pleasant and comfortable.
The ARFX offers seven Quick Detach (QD) sling mount points to give you total customization over how your sling looks and functions.

Ergo Grips MSR
The Ergo MSR grip is an upgrade for any modern sporting rifle user looking for maximum comfort and functionality. Its ergonomic design stands out from standard A2 grips, with an extension at the upper back that supports a web of hand support. Plus, its many different textures and patterns match any style preference.
Trinity Force Bravo Stock and Featureless Kit offer another fantastic featureless stock option, perfect for adding sling attachment points as well as an additional ambidextrous storage compartment. Available in various colors and fitting most AR-15s.
The Black Diamond Trail Ergo Cork is an outstanding follow-up to its predecessor and delivers all the comfort and durability expected of Black Diamond products. Unfortunately, however, its collapsed length makes it longer than many carbon options while it also costs slightly more.
