Q Shorty Stock

The Q Shorty Stock is a compact, adjustable rifle stock built for AR/M4 platforms where space is at a premium. Whether you're running a short-barreled rifle, working in tight quarters, or simply prefer a more maneuverable package, this mil-spec compatible stock delivers precision adjustability without the bulk. The ultra-compact profile makes it ideal for close-quarters shooting, home defense, or any build where a full-length stock would get in the way.

Q engineered the Shorty with serious shooters in mind. The stock features a 2-position adjustment system, giving you flexibility to dial in your length of pull for different shooting positions or body armor configurations. At 14.5 ounces (complete with spring and buffer), it's lightweight enough not to throw off your balance but robust enough to handle repeated shooting sessions. The included 3-ounce buffer and recoil spring are tuned to work with 5.56 and .300 Blackout platforms—two of the most popular short-barrel calibers on the market.

Installation is straightforward if you have the right gear: the package includes an assembly tool, and you'll need a torque wrench (capable of 35 ft-lb), a 3/4" drive socket, a magnetic vice block, a bench vise, and a thick allen key to get everything set up properly. Q supplies the Shorty in both gray and black finishes, so you can match your build aesthetic.
