The DoubleStar ACE Retro Essential CAR stock is a 2-position AR-15 carbine stock built for shooters who want authentic Vietnam-era aesthetics without sacrificing modern durability. This aluminum construction stock captures the look of classic retro AR builds while delivering the adjustable length and reliability today's shooters expect. Whether you're building a nostalgia rifle or just prefer the clean lines of vintage-inspired furniture, the ACE CAR stock combines historical accuracy with practical shooting performance.

The stock features two adjustment positions—7 inches and 10 inches—giving you flexibility to dial in your cheek weld and overall handling depending on your optics setup, body armor, or personal preference. The rugged aluminum body is finished with a plastisol powder coat that matches the appearance of original vinyl acetate finishes but with improved durability against wear and the elements. This is the real deal for retro builds: genuine period-correct design, not a gimmick.

Installation is straightforward. The package includes the 2-position buffer tube, end plate, and castle nut—everything you need to mount it to your receiver. No surprise trips back to the shop hunting for missing parts.
