Hogue 15040 OverMolded Collapsible Buttstock made of Synthetic Material with Black Finish & Overmolded Rubber for Mil-Spec AR-15, M16

The Hogue 15040 OverMolded Collapsible Buttstock brings genuine shooter comfort to your mil-spec AR-15 or M16 build. If you've ever run a standard plastic stock for hours at the range or in the field, you know the difference a quality buttstock makes—especially when you're wearing body armor, a pack, or just need a secure, non-slip cheekweld. Hogue's overmolding process bonds a soft rubber surface to a durable polymer core, giving you a stock that absorbs recoil feedback and won't slip when your shoulder is wet or you're wearing cold-weather gear. The black finish and clean lines preserve your rifle's aesthetics while delivering measurable improvement in control and comfort.

This collapsible design spans six positions, letting you adjust length of pull for different shooting positions, body armor configurations, or shooters of different statures. The rubber overmolding isn't just cushy—it's also beard-friendly, a real-world detail Hogue built in for operators who run suppressors or work in cold climates where facial hair is part of the job. The textured grip surface maintains traction whether you're manipulating the stock quickly on the clock or settling into a long-range session. Built to work with mil-spec diameter buffer tubes (1.15"), it's a straightforward bolt-on upgrade that requires no exotic tools or gunsmithing.

Hogue has earned respect in the shooting world for ergonomics that actually matter—not marketing theater. This stock is designed to outlast trends and rough use. If you shoot your AR seriously, whether at three-gun matches, hunting, or running drills, this is the kind of upgrade that you'll notice every time you shoulder the rifle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this buttstock work on my AR-15?

Yes, the Hogue 15040 is designed for AR-15 and M16 platforms with mil-spec diameter buffer tubes (1.15" diameter). Confirm your buffer tube is mil-spec before ordering—commercial-diameter tubes are slightly larger and incompatible.

What makes the overmolded design different from a standard plastic stock?

The overmolding process bonds a soft rubber layer directly to a polymer core, creating a grippy, comfortable surface that reduces felt recoil and resists slipping under recoil or when your shoulder is wet or padded. Standard plastic stocks lack this cushioning and tactile advantage.

How many positions does it have, and can I adjust it easily?

The stock features six collapsible positions, letting you dial in the length of pull to fit your body, gear, or shooting position. Adjustment is straightforward and requires no special tools.

Is this stock compatible with body armor or tactical gear?

The six-position collapsible design lets you adjust length of pull to work with body armor and thick layers. The rubber overmolding also provides a secure, non-slip surface that won't shift when wearing padded or rigid gear.
