Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What’s the difference between rifle-length and carbine-length buffer systems?
A: Rifle-length buffers are longer and typically used with A2-style stocks. Carbine-length buffers are shorter and used with most modern tactical stocks.

A: Yes. Many fixed stocks (especially featureless styles) are designed to meet state regulations. Always check your local laws.

Q: Is a fixed stock better for accuracy?
A: Fixed stocks offer a more rigid platform than collapsible stocks, improving consistency and reducing wobble during precision shooting.

Q: Are these stocks easy to install?
A: Absolutely. Most fixed stocks install using standard tools and buffer tube kits. A2-style stocks may require rifle-length buffer hardware.
