AR-15 Stocks for Sale
AR15Parts.com supplies adjustable and fixed AR-15 stocks for builders, sport shooters, and hunters across the country. Order today and we ship the same business day.
Adjustable Stocks for the AR-15 Platform
A collapsible buttstock permits length-of-pull adjustment to accommodate body armor, heavy outerwear, or different shooters using the same rifle. The mechanism slides along a mil-spec or commercial buffer tube and locks at preset positions. Our 6-position collapsible stock kit ships as a complete assembly with buffer, spring, and tube ready to install on any standard lower receiver.
Six-Position Collapsible Stocks
The standard configuration provides six locking detents along the buffer tube, ranging from fully collapsed for storage to fully extended for prone shooting. Most defensive carbine builds and competition rifles use this design because it adapts to a range of shooting positions without tools.
Mil-Spec Versus Commercial Diameter
Mil-spec buffer tubes measure 1.146 inches in outside diameter while commercial tubes measure 1.168 inches. Stocks designed for one specification will not properly fit the other, so verify the tube diameter before ordering a replacement assembly. Our AR-15 buffer tube kit follows mil-spec dimensions for compatibility with the broadest range of aftermarket stocks.
PDW and Minimalist Designs
Personal defense weapon stocks compress to a shorter overall length than standard six-position assemblies, which suits short-barreled rifles and pistol-configured firearms. Minimalist stocks remove the cheek riser and storage compartments, reducing weight to under eight ounces in many cases.
Buffer Tube Compatibility
Adjustable stocks require a properly threaded receiver extension along with a castle nut, end plate, buffer, and recoil spring. The AR-10 buffer tube kit covers .308-pattern builds where the buffer dimensions differ from the standard AR-15 specification.
Fixed Rifle Stocks and Precision Configurations
Fixed stocks deliver a rigid, single-piece interface between the shooter and the rifle, eliminating the small amount of play inherent in any adjustable mechanism. Builders pursuing the highest mechanical accuracy or assembling A2-pattern service rifle clones generally select this option.
A2 Fixed Rifle Stocks
The classic A2 stock pairs with a rifle-length buffer tube to produce the original M16A2 configuration. The longer length of pull suits taller shooters and prone marksmanship positions. Our A2 fixed rifle-length kit for AR-15 includes the buffer tube, buffer, and spring matched to the stock body.
Precision and Target Stocks
Precision-pattern stocks add adjustable cheek risers and length-of-pull spacers while retaining the rigid mounting characteristic of a fixed design. The configuration suits dedicated marksman builds and bench rest applications where consistent shoulder placement determines group size.
.308 and Large-Frame Fixed Stocks
Large-frame AR rifles chambered in .308 Winchester require a longer buffer and corresponding stock assembly. The A2 fixed stock kit for .308 builds provides the correct geometry for DPMS and SR-25 pattern lower receivers.
Storage Compartments
Many fixed and adjustable stocks incorporate hollow internal cavities sealed by a sliding hatch or trapdoor. These compartments accept cleaning supplies, batteries for optics, or small repair tools, keeping essential items with the rifle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a mil-spec and commercial AR-15 stock?
Mil-spec stocks fit buffer tubes measuring 1.146 inches in outside diameter, while commercial stocks fit tubes measuring 1.168 inches. The two are not interchangeable, so confirm the tube specification before ordering a replacement.
Will any AR-15 stock work on my rifle?
Most AR-15 stocks fit standard lower receivers using a mil-spec or commercial buffer tube of matching diameter. Pistol-configured firearms and short-barreled rifles may require specific PDW or pistol-brace assemblies that comply with applicable regulations.
How do I install an adjustable AR-15 stock?
Installation requires removing the existing castle nut, end plate, buffer retainer, buffer, and spring, then threading the new buffer tube into the receiver extension. The castle nut is staked or torqued to specification once the new tube is properly oriented.
Are fixed stocks more accurate than collapsible stocks?
Fixed stocks eliminate the minor play present in any sliding mechanism, providing a marginally more rigid shooter interface. The accuracy benefit is most measurable in precision applications shooting from a supported position at distances beyond 200 yards.
What length of pull should an AR-15 stock have?
Length of pull is the distance from the trigger to the rear of the buttstock and typically ranges from 11.5 inches collapsed to 14.5 inches extended on adjustable models. Most adult shooters find 13.5 to 14 inches comfortable for general use.
Can I use an AR-15 stock on an AR-10 rifle?
AR-10 and large-frame .308 rifles require longer buffer tubes and heavier buffers than AR-15 carbines, though the stock body itself may share the same mil-spec or commercial mounting interface. Verify the buffer tube length and buffer weight before installing an AR-15 stock on a large-frame platform.
