Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main reasons to switch from a collapsible AR-15 stock to a fixed stock for California compliance?

For California compliance, fixed stocks are often necessary to replace collapsible ones. Beyond legal requirements, fixed stocks offer enhanced stability, a more consistent cheek weld, and improved ergonomics for dedicated shooters who don't need to adjust the length of pull frequently.

What parts are needed when installing a Magpul MOE Fixed Stock on an AR-15?

When replacing a collapsible stock with a fixed stock like the Magpul MOE, you will need to replace the buffer tube with a standard rifle-length buffer tube. You'll also need a standard rifle buffer and buffer spring to complete the installation.

What are the ergonomic benefits of the Magpul MOE Fixed Stock?

The Magpul MOE Fixed Stock is designed with a sloped profile for a superior cheek weld, a wider body for comfort, and offers multiple handholds for stabilizing the rifle, especially when shooting from a bench or prone position.

Where can I purchase the Magpul MOE Fixed Stock and are there any discounts?
