By Mitzi Fitzgerald


It is easy to see the advantages of the AR-15 stocks by taking a look at its components. These include a sling loop, the recoil pad that is removable, and Swivel mount Quick detach. Universal-buffer tube sleeve makes up the list and the tension and the tightness can be varied and is described below.

The patronage for the shooting sport is increasing and people are always trying to better their marksmanship. It is a tough sport and one needs to have the resilience to hold a fixed position for a long time. In addition, the person needs to have good nerves and beautiful rifle or gun to back him up. There are many things, which people like about this stock.

The popularity of ar-15 stocks lie in the fact that they fit both the commercial tubes as well as the mil-spec tubes beautifully. They handle well and are easy to maintain. Since there is a lot of leeway given for the stock adjustment it should amuse one to spend some time studying the various possibilities offered.

When you install these stocks, make sure that the locking pin is aligned when you push it into the buffer tube. Then once you lock the pin in the buffer tube, the spring will allow the tube to slide back when the rifle is fired. The cam lock lever may be fitted on either side. This is very helpful feature for the southpaw.

The method of operation begins by sliding a stock to the place where one wants it to be. Then one should pull up the cam-lock lever up. When you grip the quick-release lever, it releases the cam-lock lever also. One should be careful not to make the cam-lock lever too tight.

The sling loop helps one to carry the rifle around. The best part about this is that there is no play. It does not have a rattle and people are very happy about it. Even little sounds can be very distracting when one is concentrating hard. The sounds comes when there are loose parts within the assembly.

Making adjustments for the mil spec or commercial tubes is simple with this. The first step is to remove the pin after you have removed the shim. Now get the correct setting for the pin and then re-insert. The original setting for the stock would be made for mil spec. Since this is a plastic unit, it is very cheap. However, there are people who opt for costlier aluminum tubes.

Sportsmen and the shooting club fraternity like to have their guns and gun sights within the correct comfort zone. This is done through the proper selection of the firearm and of course the stock. The AR-15 stocks takes a lot of the recoil and this helps when you are accustomed to shooting for long stretches at a time. Of course, when it comes down to the nitty-gritty one will have to make one's own choice of equipment.
