Mission First Tactical Battlelink Minimalist Mil-Spec Stock - Black Aluminum for AR-15 Mil-Spec Buffer Tubes

The Mission First Tactical Battlelink Minimalist Mil-Spec Stock is a purpose-built replacement for your AR-15's standard collapsible butt stock, engineered for shooters who refuse to compromise between weight savings and real-world durability. Built from 6061-T6 aluminum and hard coat anodized to military specification, this stock delivers the lightweight handling of a minimalist design without cutting corners on strength or functionality—whether you're running a carbine for duty, sport, or field work.

What sets the Battlelink Minimalist apart is its thoughtful ergonomics and versatility. The angled, checkered buttpad is textured for a solid purchase against your shoulder and body armor alike, and its geometry promotes faster target acquisition. The upper section is contoured to support a repeatable cheek weld, which matters when accuracy counts. Dual rear-mounted sling slots and an integrated QD point give you flexible carry and manipulation options that work equally well for right- and left-handed shooters.

Installation is straightforward: it's a direct slide-on fit for any AR-15 with a mil-spec buffer tube (1.148" diameter). The stock accommodates custom accessory mounts, letting you tailor it to your setup and mission without bloat or unnecessary weight. At 8.8 ounces, it won't slow you down, and the proven aluminum construction means it'll handle the hard use that comes with serious shooting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this stock fit my AR-15?

Yes, if your AR-15 has a mil-spec buffer tube (the standard 1.148" diameter receiver extension). It's a direct slide-on replacement for your existing collapsible stock. The stock is designed to work with any AR platform using mil-spec tubes.

What's the difference between the adjustable and fixed installation torque settings?
