Light wt/compact/snug fit
Not my first MFT stock. This model does not fit as tight as previous ones but does not rattle which is a good thing. I highly recommend their product. Brownells has improved their website a lot but need to include more pertinent information in product descriptions. Shipping is also kinda slow. Otherwise very happy with purchases/service!
Great
Thumbs up
Not just for AR
Strong, simple to operate with little or no rattle at all due to its self-gripping design. Possibly the lightest without unnecessary bells and whistles to detract from its overall versatility. Excellent quality. Good price tag. Highly recommended.
Whew! Got mine right before you ran out!
This is a great minimalist stock, and the rubber buttpad is totally non-slip. That alone is what I needed most, so I can shoulder my rifle properly while wearing body armor.
Very tight specs!
I purchased 2 of the AR-15 Battlelink Minimalist Stocks (Mil-Spec) to go on two builds which were waiting on the stocks. The buffer tubes and assemblies were from BCM and Spikes. The fit on the BCM was extremely tight. So much so the wife would not be able to use the stock. Not the stocks fault. The fit on the Spikes tube was absolutely perfect. Very smooth slide on the marked (1-6) buffer tube. No rattling. This will be the wife's lower. I will be replacing the BCM tube with a Spikes tube as it is a perfect fit with the AR-15 Battlelink Minimalist.
My preferred AR STOCK
Excellent stock choice for a lightweight build, ideal with a 6 position tube for length of pull. Very pleased with the snug fit on the buffer tube; a light spray of rem oil aided in movement and absolutely no rattle or loud clicks when adjusting. The name says it all, Minimalist for the shooter that doesn't believe in extra stuff on their rifle for no reason. This stock just flat works
Great buy
No wobble or rattle, very secure and snug fit, light weight, and angled bottom for those of that wear body armor or that have pecks. I have 1 on all my ARs. Perfect for my job.
Good stock
Stock is well made and very light weight. Only complaint is that it is too tight when full collapsed. You really have to tug to get it to extend out from that position.
