MAGPUL

MOE SL-S Carbine Stock

The storage-capable version of the flagship Magpul MOE SL carbine stock, the MOE SL-S (Storage) Stock is a direct replacement buttstock for AR15/M4 carbines. The sleek profile, dual-side release latches, and waterproof battery tubes make it the slimmest storage tube stock available. The SL-S provides the enhanced cheek weld and true, O-ring sealed, 10m waterproof storage area desired by many, but fits it into the narrowest package possible to allow a more upright head position and minimize bulk. A rolled toe and angled rubber butt-pad are optimized for use with body armor, and QD sling socket is included. A unique leaf-spring tension system provides a solid fit on mil-spec receiver extensions, with slightly less friction than the original SL. The MOE SL-S is the most intuitive, comfortable, and efficient storage stock available. MAG653, MIL-SPEC, MSRP: $79.95. Made in the US.

Constructed of a durable advanced polymer, the X-22 Backpacker features an ergonomic hand guard, interchangeable standard and “optic height” cheek risers, optional QD sling mounting capability, integrated storage compartment in the grip, a hinged storage compartment in the stock capable of storing up to 3 spare 10rd magazines, a MOE SL nonslip rubber butt pad, and a unique locking interface to attach the barrel assembly to the receiver when being transported.
