I purchased this stock because it looks excellent on Daniel Defense rifles. While I like it and would recommend it, there are a few cons to consider. The cheek pad is not positioned correctly for me, causing it to feel uncomfortable on my face when I shoot. It was also difficult to install initially, as it was a very tight and sticky fit on the buffer tube, even after I applied oil and tried sliding it up and down multiple times. The handgrip that came with it is also not ideal for people with smaller hands like me, as it lacks the rubberized piece that goes up the back of the lower receiver, causing my hand to naturally slide up and hit the metal of the receiver. While I love the appearance of this stock, it is not as functional as I had hoped. Despite these issues, I still give it 4 stars because it does look great.

This stock replaced my standard cheap stock which came with my AR. It is good-looking, functions well, shoulders nicely, and is lightweight. Installation took about 2 minutes, and all in all this is one stock you should consider very carefully.

Installed on a recent build on a Colt 4-position tube. Was a bit tight going on, but a little grease and sliding the stock the stock through the 4 positions several times to break it in a bit, good to go. I like that it doesn't rattle or rock like some cheaper stocks will do—very comfy cheek rest. The integrated QD sling attachments are a big bonus too.

Most comfortable AR stock I've ever used. Shoulders perfectly and no rattles!! Nice tight fit.

I liked the looks of this unit. I would have given it 5 stars except for one thing. On my AR15 it moves, it locks while static yet when firing the weapon it collapses. I haven't figured out why, I suspect a weak spring.orm the factory parts.

This AR stock looks and feels so good on my Sig 516, that I had to order a second one (this time the 3 piece kit) for my S&W M&P 15 Sport. An excellent upgrade form the factory parts.

This buttstock is so comfortable I bought a second one for my other AR. Especially when I have a 5 o" clock shadow. The "stock" stock would pull the wiskers out of my face and that really hurts. These don't pull any hair and are very comfortable. It was a little tricky to install, pulling down on the tabs was extremely difficult so I made a tool with a coat hanger and that did the trick it went right on. I even got a few compliments at the Range, everyone liked the look and feel, and so do I!

I bought the Daniel Defense stock as a replacement on a Ruger SR556. My initial draw towards this stock was the looks and the reputation of Daniel Defense for making fine products right here in the USA. I was not disappointed. The stocks integrated rubber overlays provide a positive and very comfortable cheek weld. The stock comes with limited rotation (keeps your rifle sling from twisting)QD swivel attachments, one on either side. It must be noted that this stock is for mil-spec buffer tubes only. The buffer tube fit on my Ruger was perfect with no wobble or play. The stock also comes with two rubber butt pads for adjustment in length of pull and personal fit, or you can leave the butt pad off to lessen snagging on heavy clothing. The locking mechanism on the stock is somewhat different than most others, with the operating lever being reversed. The operator pushes the front of the lever closest to the receiver to release as opposed to the rear end of the locking lever. Not really all that big of deal, but just something I noticed. It feels great, it looks great, and it functions great. What more could you ask for? How about the matching pistol grip?

I purchased a Daniel Defense stock for my AR and had heard good things about them. Upon receiving it, I installed it on my rifle and the first thing I notices is NO SLOP or loose feeling when on the buffer tube. It is easy to adjust, but no looseness at all. Fit and finish is great. the rubber over mold for the cheek rest is fantastic. Upon using the gun I was really pleased that the shoulder pad fit so well on my shoulder and it really felt great all around. I have purchased several of the stocks to use on my ARs and in different color combinations. Some may ask about the cost being a little higher than some of the other stocks available. It may be a slight more, but the quality and fit is worth every penny. Their matching grip is a must with the stock. Quality does not cost that much more, and the satisfaction is worth it.

As soon as I saw this stock on the Daniel Defense Mk.18 and M4A1 rifles, I hoped they would offer JUST the stock for sale. I was thrilled when several months later, they did! The first thing that drew my attention were the looks of the stock, VERY cool! I finally got to check one out in person at our local gun club and found that the stock was also lightweight, strong, comfortable and solid. It weighs only a bit more than the MFT Low Profile stock. The cheek weld is perfect for me and I like the feel of the textured overmolded cheekpieces. The buttpads (comes with TWO, one convex and one concave)are comfortable and snug. The mechanism for locking the stock in place is ingenious and is much simpler than some other stocks I use. It locks itself firmly in place and there is NO rattle or movement of the stock. I do have ONE complaint about the stock. I bought it for a Mil-Spec buffer tube (YES, I DO have a Mil-Spec buffer tube installed), but the stock was IMPOSSIBLE to slip onto the Mil-Spec buffer tube as it came from the box! I ended up having to take a half-round file and shave some material from the inside surface of the stock until it would slide onto the buffer tube! Once I did that, it had a nice snug fit and locked in whatever position I chose, perfectly. I know that buffer tube is fine, because I tried it with ALL of my Mil-Spec size stocks and they ALL fit on the tube fine! This may have been a fluke with the stock I recieved, who knows. Other than that, this stock is excellent and I recommend it highly. The price, especially for a Daniel Defense product is EXTREMELY reasonable and is MUCH less than I have paid for lesser quality stocks! Also, for those considering the Tornado Gray color, I recommend it too, as most other gray furniture I have seen or owned is just a bit too light a shade of gray for my tastes (such as the MFT line of gray furniture). The Tornado Gray is a darker gray, more like graphite gray or gunmetal gray. Even with the "hand-fitting" issue mentioned, I still give this stock FULL stars!
