Fixed Stocks for AR-15s
AR-15 owners can customize their builds to fit specific needs thanks to this platform's modular design. This flexibility allows you to build a firearm that provides a competitive edge in any situation.
It's essential to choose an AR-15 stock that's comfortable and suits your application to help you shoot at your best. At Wing Tactical, we carry AR-15 fixed stocks that offer rock-solid installation and unbeatable performance.
Fixed vs. Adjustable Stocks
There are two basic types of AR-15 stocks — collapsible and fixed. You can modify a collapsible stock's length, making it an excellent choice for shooters with longer- or shorter-than-average arms or for shooting in groups with people taking turns on the same rifle.
While you can't adjust a fixed stock's length, you also can't beat its rigidity. Fixed stocks are incredibly sturdy, with no wiggle or rattle. If you plan on your rifle being yours alone and won't need to shorten it frequently to slip it into a bag or vehicle, a fixed stock is an excellent choice. Using a fixed stock helps you establish a solid cheek weld in the same spot every time you shoulder the rifle, improving your accuracy.
Adjustable stocks are a subset of fixed stocks with additional features. Though their length of pull is already set, they allow users to modify the cheekpiece or buttpad to create a truly customized fit.

Fixed Stocks FAQs
What are some situations where fixed stocks are preferred?
Fixed stocks are preferred for sustained field shooting when you're not getting in and out of a vehicle frequently. They're the best choice in any shooting situation where you need rigidity and consistency.
How can I replace my stock?
Use these steps as a guide for replacing your stock:
- Ensure your firearm is empty.
- Remove the existing stock from the extension tube.
- Remove the buffer and spring from the extension tube. Press down on the detent pin to allow them to slide out.
- Loosen the locking ring using an AR armorer's tool.
- Loosen the extension tube slowly while covering the detent pin and spring with your finger.
- Put the buffer spring and pin in place, hold them down and screw in the new extension tube.
- When the springs are properly placed and the tube is finger-tight, tighten the extension tube to the receiver.
- Once you've installed the extension tube, slide the new stock into place. Before pushing it all the way to the receiver body, ensure the takedown spring is in the correct position.
- Install the new rifle buffer and spring inside the extension tube by reversing the removal process — hold the detent spring down, push the buffer past the pin and let the pin go.
Are stocks easy to upgrade?
Stocks are one of the easiest AR-15 parts to upgrade, requiring no special tools or experience. And with numerous brands and styles to choose from, you can customize your stock to any application.
The only thing you need to know when shopping for a new stock is the size of your buffer tube. Many complete AR-15s come from the factory with carbine-length buffer tubes and collapsible stocks, so you may have to change the tube to a rifle-length version to accommodate the new stock you want. Tubes are also sold as either Mil-Spec or commercial — the two have different diameters, so be sure your stock and your buffer tube use the same specifications.
