Description
The Luth-AR A1 Buttstock Kit in OD Green is built for anyone putting together a retro-style AR-15 or any standard rifle-length build that needs a fixed stock. Instead of hunting down a stock, buffer tube, spring, and buffer separately, this one gives you the whole recoil system in a single box. The A1 stock itself is molded from glass-filled nylon, which keeps it stiff and tough even without an internal foam core, and the OD Green finish gives that Vietnam-era A1 look plenty of people are after.
What Comes in the Luth-AR A1 Kit
This is a complete rifle-length setup, so it works as a fresh build component or as a swap for a worn-out stock. You get the A1 buttstock, the rifle-length extension tube, a .223/5.56 rifle buffer spring, and a .223/5.56 rifle buffer. The mounting screw that attaches the stock to the tube ships tucked inside the trap door of the stock, so don't toss the packaging before you check for it.
Fit and Function of the A1 Buttstock Kit
The extension tube threads into a standard AR-15 lower receiver, making this a straightforward install with basic hand tools. Keep in mind this is a rifle-length recoil system, which is a different length than a carbine buffer tube setup, so it pairs best with rifle-length gas system builds for the smoothest cycling. The trap door in the buttplate gives you a small storage compartment, a nod to the original A1 design that's still handy for a cleaning kit or spare parts.
Why the OD Green A1 Stock Works
The classic A1 profile has a shorter length of pull than an A2, which some folks find quicker to shoulder and easier for smaller-framed builds. Combined with the OD Green coloring, it's a natural match for period-correct clone builds, hunting rigs, or anyone who just likes the old-school feel over collapsible modern furniture. It's a dependable, budget-friendly way to complete a fixed-stock AR-15 without piecing the parts together yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
What comes in the Luth-AR A1 buttstock kit?
The kit includes the A1 buttstock, a rifle-length extension tube, a .223/5.56 rifle buffer spring, and a .223/5.56 rifle buffer. The mounting screw that secures the stock to the tube is included and stored inside the trap door of the stock. That covers everything you need to finish a rifle-length recoil system.
Will this A1 kit fit a standard AR-15 lower?
Yes. The extension tube threads directly into a standard mil-spec AR-15 lower receiver, so no special parts are required. It's a rifle-length system, so it works best on rifle-length builds rather than carbine setups.
What is the A1 stock made from?
The A1 buttstock is molded from modern glass-filled nylon, which keeps it strong and rigid even without an internal foam core. That construction holds up well to regular range use while keeping the classic A1 profile and weight.
How is an A1 stock different from an A2?
The A1 has a shorter length of pull than the A2, which many find quicker to shoulder and better suited to smaller-framed shooters or younger family members. Both share the classic fixed-stock look, but the A1 length is what makes this kit ideal for period-correct retro builds.
