If you’re building an AR-15 or looking to upgrade from standard mil-spec furniture, the Magpul MOE-SL Carbine Stock is a solid choice.
After building my AR-10, I needed a better stock that could take the punishment from the .308 caliber. At first, I didn’t know if the MOE-SL stock would fit on my buffer tube because it was such a tight fit. After reading the instructions I was able to slide the stock on with no problem. And adjust it to my preferred position with the dual-side release latch.
The MOE-SL has an internal anti-rattle feature that keeps the stock on tight and doesn’t wobble while still being adjustable. It comes with a rubber butt-pad so it won’t slip from your shoulder and you can upgrade to the enhanced butt-pad if you want even more cushion.
Magpul MOE-SL Stock Video Review:
“Designed for the modern battlefield, the sleek profile, dual-side release latches, rolled toe, and angled rubber butt-pad are optimized for use with body armor or modular gear and provides for efficient shoulder transitions.” -Magpul
Multiple sling options make the MOE-SL versatile for any setup with a rear push-button QD mount and two standard sling strap cutouts. The dual-side release latch is positioned under the sloping cheek weld to give the stock a streamlined look. With the Enhanced Butt-Pad you get more aggressive styling and extra cushion to handle the recoil.
The vented design with non-slip ribbed texture adds less than 1 oz. to the overall weight of the stock. Both the standard and enhanced butt-pads offer an angled, serrated toe for easy shouldering of the rifle and a slight curve at the top for comfortable seating.

During testing of the Magpul MOE-SL Carbine Stock on my AR-10, I was impressed with how well it absorbed the recoil of the .308. The stock stayed locked in position providing maximum comfort and ergonomics while shooting. I put it to the ultimate test when a round would not eject.
So I “mortared” the rifle to get the round out. (slamming the stock on the ground while pulling rearward on the charging handle). The MOE-SL didn’t even flinch and I was able to clear the malfunction. Besides being a solid piece of furniture its design provided maximum comfort and maneuverability. Adding the enhanced butt-pad gave the rifle a rugged look and felt right at home on the AR-10.
The Magpul MOE-SL stock comes in at $60 and the enhanced butt-pad is $20, definitely worth it if you’re looking for a solid upgrade to your mil-spec stock.
