Upgrading the stock on an AR-15 is one of the highest-impact changes you can make to improve cheek weld, control, and on-gun storage without altering the rifle’s core components. A well-chosen replacement stock reduces movement under recoil, shortens target acquisition cycles, and gives operators a clean, repeatable cheek position for optics and iron sights.

MAGPUL STR CARBINE STOCK

Design highlights and feature breakdown

The MAGPUL STR CARBINE STOCK is made in the USA and designed as a drop-in replacement buttstock for AR15/M4 carbines using mil-spec sized receiver extension tubes. It’s the storage-capable version of the CTR and retains the low-profile, reinforced polymer A-frame design while adding two water-resistant battery tubes for mission-ready power storage. At an MSRP around $80.7, the STR offers durable construction and practical storage without adding bulk.

Improved cheek weld and ergonomics

The STR’s refined cheek shelf improves consistent eye-to-sight alignment, reducing the time required to re-establish a sight picture when transitioning between targets or bringing the rifle to the shoulder. The compact A-frame is reinforced for durability yet remains slim enough to keep the rifle maneuverable in close quarters.

Practical performance and tactical uses

For operators who run optics, the STR’s improved cheek weld delivers a repeatable platform for magnified or red-dot sights. The integrated, water-resistant battery tubes let you carry backup batteries for lights and optics without adding a visible pouch or compromising sling clearance. This makes the STR a practical choice for duty, competition, and weekend range use.
