Description
The Archangel AA597R gives your Remington 597 a full-on tactical makeover without touching a single tool at the gunsmith. It swaps the factory sporter stock for an AR-15 style setup that mimics the look and feel of an M-4 flat-top carbine, complete with a pistol grip, adjustable buttstock, and a rail system ready for accessories. Owners consistently mention how easy the swap is: pull the two takedown screws holding the barrel in the factory stock, drop the barreled action into the Archangel, follow the instructions, and you're done in about ten minutes once you've got the hang of it.
What the Archangel 597 Stock Brings to the Table
The six-position buttstock adjusts the length of pull from 10 to 14 inches, so it fits a younger shooter, a fully grown adult, or anyone bundled up in a winter jacket. Up top you get a full-length Picatinny rail for glass or iron sights, with another section on the bottom of the forend and slotted sides for adding more rail where you want it. Four molded-in steel QD sling swivel hardpoints give you flexible sling options, and two lockable storage compartments (one in the grip, one hidden in the stock extension tube) tuck away small parts or spare gear.
Built to Take a Beating
ProMag molds the AA597R from carbon fiber and glass reinforced polymer, the same tough material used across the Archangel line, and backs it with a lifetime warranty against defects. It handles standard OEM barrels and free-floats bull barrels up to .920 inches in diameter, so heavier target profiles drop right in. The kit also comes with a polymer muzzle device that lets you mount gas-block height AR-15 front sights on barrels that have the factory sight screw hole, plus a polymer display bayonet for the full carbine look.
At just over two pounds and made in the USA, this is a fun, affordable way to breathe new life into a 597 that's been collecting dust and give it modern versatility for plinking, small game, or training a new shooter on an AR-style platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Archangel AA597R require gunsmithing to install?
No, it's designed as a drop-in conversion. You remove the two takedown screws holding the barreled action in the factory stock, drop it into the Archangel, and secure it following the included instructions. Most owners report finishing the swap in around ten minutes once they're familiar with it, though very minor fitting can occasionally be needed depending on manufacturing tolerances or an oversized aftermarket trigger.
Will this stock fit a 597 with a bull barrel?
Yes. The AA597R free-floats all standard OEM barrels as well as bull barrels up to .920 inches in diameter, so heavier target profiles drop right in without contacting the handguard. Free-floating the barrel can also help with consistency at the range.
Can I mount a scope, red dot, or other accessories on the Archangel 597 stock?
Absolutely. It has a full-length top Picatinny rail for optics or iron sights, a 6 o'clock rail on the forend, and slotted sides so you can add more rail sections for lights, grips, or a bipod. There's plenty of real estate to build it out however you like.
Does the AA597R come with a recoil pad?
No, the buttstock ships with a standard buttplate and no rubber recoil pad included. ProMag offers a separate one-inch extended rubber recoil pad (model AA117) if you want a little more cushion and length. For a .22 LR the recoil is minimal, so many owners run it just fine as-is.
