Magpul MOE SL-M Carbine Stock (Flat Dark Earth) - Mil-Spec AR-Platform
- Length of Pull:
- 9.40"-12.70"
The Magpul MOE SL-M Carbine Stock is a mil-spec AR-15 replacement buttstock built for shooters who run compact platforms, short-barreled rifles, or PDW-style builds. If you're working with a standard mil-spec buffer tube and want a stock that's noticeably shorter and lighter than full-length options, the SL-M delivers—without sacrificing stability or shooting comfort. The compact profile works especially well for guys in body armor, tactical gear, or anyone who benefits from a tighter, more maneuverable setup.
What sets the SL-M apart is its attention to practical details. The angled toe helps you shoulder the rifle smoothly even when you're geared up, and the small, grippy rubber butt-pad stays put without slipping. The ambidextrous shielded release latch keeps the stock rock-solid on the tube—no rattle, no wobble, and no need for extra locks or springs to stay silent. It's a cleaner, simpler design that just works.
Built from reinforced polymer, the SL-M is tough enough for hard use while keeping weight down. The 1.25-inch ambidextrous sling loop is set up to accept an optional M-LOK QD Sling Mount if you want quick-detach capability. Made in the USA by Magpul, it's a drop-in upgrade that won't require any gunsmithing or special tools—just swap it onto your mil-spec tube and go.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the MOE SL-M fit my AR-15?
Yes, if your rifle has a mil-spec carbine buffer tube. The SL-M is a direct drop-in replacement—no modifications needed. It won't fit commercial-spec tubes, so verify your tube type before ordering.
Is the sling loop ambidextrous?
Yes. The 1.25-inch sling loop is ambidextrous, and it's sized to accept an optional M-LOK QD Sling Mount for push-button quick-detach sling attachment if you want that capability.
How does the MOE SL-M compare to full-length stocks?
The SL-M is designed as a compact alternative—shorter and slimmer overall—making it ideal for PDW builds, short-barreled rifles, or anyone who needs a tighter profile, especially when wearing body armor or tactical gear. The angled toe and shielded latch are engineered specifically for quick shouldering in tight spaces.
What comes in the box?
The stock itself. The M-LOK QD Sling Mount is sold separately if you want quick-detach capability.
