Mil-Spec ACS Buttstock, Black

Comments about MAGPUL AR-15 MILSPEC ACS STOCK-BLACK:

This stock is perfect. It holds six 123 batteries (that's reload for both my EoTech and Surefire, plus two more - do you really need more?), and I really dig the extra storage compartment. This stock is sleek, with no sharp edges or angles, allows a good, solid cheek weld, and has several sling attachment options. Additionally, the friction adapter really locks it in place with no "wobble" like so many other AR stocks. In my opinion, the best AR-15 stock out there. Highly recommended.

Picked this up for one of my custom builds. Not many people take into account what the material is used on the butt stock. I prefer a material that will grip your shoulder well and conforms to the operator ... basically a molded rubber pad over the end. This is just as important as getting the right sized shoes.

The ACS Stock has a very nice butt pad. It grips to the operator well and makes shouldering the rifle more comfortable and can be held in place easier. The end caps for the storage compartment are rubber and are attached to the stock ... this is a plus so you don't have to feel around for them if you drop it in the dark. The cheek weld is nice and comfortable and clears the charging handle with ease.

The stock is easy to install if you read the instructions. You cannot simply pull the rocker switch down and slip it on. The instructions show you where you have to insert either a screw driver, bullet or something else underneath the rocker leaver to pry it up to remove. Not necessary a big deal, but it isn't coming off in a hurry. It does lock up tight and is overall a very nice stock.

There are only two things that needs improvement. The cheek weld area on the stock I received was not finished very well. It still had rings from were the plastic was in the mold. I had to take some sand paper and finish it off smooth ... if your paying $100+ for a stock this should of already been done. The other issue is unlike the VTOR series stocks; the ACS does not have any plate on the bottom to protect the stock when it is on a tri-pod. The bottom of the stock has a hollow area that looks like a monopod attaches there, but is easy beat up when shooting prone ... a pop in metal plate would of been a great asset there.

I replaced my Vltor Emod stock with the Magpul ACS and never looked back. Fit and finish, it wins hands down against LMT Sopmod and the Emod. Everyone asks about it, and everyone wants one once they try it. I got the first one in black and just got a second in Flat Drk Earth. I am about to purchase a third in OD green. I guess, I now kinda get why women have so many shoes even though they only have one set of feet. I only have one AR-15 (soon to be two), but I need all the ACS stocks, in all the different colors, and this particular one cannot be beat. It's cheaper than Magpul's own UBR stock, yet it has all it's fit and function, plus more!

Great stock! Couldn't be happier with it. Was already a huge Magpul fan, and they continue to never disappoint. They took the best aspects of both the CTR and UBR and put them together into this beautiful thing. Locks into place easily and stays there with the friction lock, no "play" at all. I paired mine with Magpul's ASAP end plate and it works great.

The only recommendation I will make is that if you use the battery compartments, stuff a cleaning patch in after inserting the batteries to prevent any rattle. Other than that, it's perfection.

Same slope on the cheek wield as the UBR but with extra battery storage, plus lighter and half the price!!!! what's not to love...

I found the ACS to be superior to the SOPMOD or any of the other copy cat stocks. Like Magpul's CTR you get a tight fit to your buffer tube. Same quality materials that Magpul is known for. Better yet the pricing is fair.

Comfort, balance and the quality you come to expect, plus the great cheekweld and storage that was missing from the great "CTR".

Puts all other M4 stocks to shame. Far better than the SOPMOD/Crane stock, VLTOR, or any other "high speed" or issue stock. After 17 years in service, multiple combat tours as an Infantryman, and seeing every latest/greatest product, it's refreshing to see an actual substantial improvement in a piece of equipment.
