Frequently Asked Questions
Will this buttstock fit my mil-spec or commercial buffer tube?
The Daniel Defense Collapsible Buttstock is designed specifically for mil-spec receiver extensions (buffer tubes). Mil-spec tubes have a slightly smaller outer diameter than commercial-spec tubes, so this stock is not recommended for commercial-spec buffer tubes. If you're unsure which tube your AR-15 has, mil-spec tubes are typically hard-coat anodized aluminum with a 1.14" outer diameter, while commercial tubes are 1.17" and often have an angled rear end.
Do I need any additional hardware or a friction lock to install this stock?
No additional hardware, tensioning devices, or friction locks are needed. Daniel Defense machines this stock to extremely tight tolerances so that it fits snugly on a mil-spec buffer tube with minimal lateral or forward play right out of the box. Simply slide it onto your existing mil-spec receiver extension and it's ready to use.
How do the interchangeable butt pads work, and can I run the stock without one?
The stock ships with two butt pads — a thicker 0.8" convex pad for added recoil absorption and a thinner flat-profile pad for a more low-profile feel. Both snap on and off tool-free for quick changes in the field. You can also run the stock completely pad-free, which is particularly useful when shooting in full tactical gear or body armor where length-of-pull adjustability and a slimmer profile matter most.
