AR-15 Buttstock: Mil-Spec M4 6-Position Stock

The One Horse AR-15 buttstock is a polymer, 6-position adjustable M4 stock made for a mil-spec carbine buffer tube. Here’s what fits, what else you need and what it costs.

Key takeaways

  • One stock, mil-spec fit. The OH-BS01 is a polymer M4 stock with 6 positions.
  • Match the tube. A mil-spec stock goes on a mil-spec carbine buffer tube.
  • Need a tube? The carbine buffer tube kit has the tube, carbine buffer, carbine spring, castle nut and end plate.
  • Ships to you. A buttstock is a part, so no FFL dealer is needed.

The basics

What an AR-15 buttstock does

The buttstock is the part you shoulder. On an AR-15 it slides onto the buffer tube at the back of the lower receiver. An adjustable M4-style stock locks into a set of positions, so you can set the length of pull for you, your gear and how you shoot.

The One Horse M4 buttstock has 6 positions and a polymer body. It is the same One Horse M4 6 position stock that comes on One Horse rifles and on the complete lower.

Check your tube

Mil-spec and commercial buffer tubes have different outside diameters. The OH-BS01 is a mil-spec diameter stock, so put it on a mil-spec tube.
