Description
Hogue built its name on grips that feel good in the hand, and this collapsible buttstock brings that same soft-touch rubber treatment to the back end of your AR. It drops onto any mil-spec carbine buffer tube (1.15" diameter) and takes the place of that hard, hollow factory stock most rifles ship with. The overmolded rubber wraps a light, skeletonized polymer core, so you get a cushioned cheek weld and a butt pad that soaks up some felt recoil without adding real weight to the gun.
What Sets the Hogue OverMolded Stock Apart
The standout here is the anti-rattle friction fit. Instead of clacking around on the buffer tube like a lot of budget stocks do, the rubber grips the tube and holds a snug, quiet position. Hogue also went with a beard-safe design and a shielded operation lever, which means no pinched skin or snagged facial hair when you seat the rifle into your shoulder. Little details, but they're the kind of thing you notice every time you shoulder the gun.
Fit, Feel, and Getting It On the Rifle
Swapping this in is about as simple as AR work gets. Pull the adjustment lever, slide the old stock off the tube, and slide this one on. The stock collapses to your preferred length of pull, so it works whether you're running a plate carrier or shooting in a t-shirt. You'll find multiple sling swivel and mounting positions built in, which gives you flexibility on how you carry and run the rifle. It pairs cleanly with Hogue's OverMolded grips and forends if you want the whole rifle wearing the same textured rubber.
Bottom line, this is a comfortable, quiet upgrade for anyone who wants a nicer cheek weld and a stock that stays put. It's a straightforward improvement over a bare mil-spec stock without going overboard on price or complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Hogue OverMolded buttstock fit my AR-15?
It fits standard mil-spec carbine buffer tubes with a 1.15-inch diameter, which covers the majority of AR-15 and M16 style rifles. If you're not sure what you have, measure the diameter of your buffer tube where the stock rides. Commercial-spec tubes run slightly larger, so this mil-spec version won't fit those.
Does this stock come with a buffer tube?
No, the 15040 is the stock only and installs on the buffer tube you already have. Hogue sells a separate assembly version that includes the tube and hardware if you're building from scratch. For a standard stock swap on an existing rifle, this is the one you want.
Is the Hogue OverMolded stock hard to install?
Not at all. You pull the adjustment lever, slide off your old stock, and slide this one onto the buffer tube in about a minute. No gunsmithing or special tools required for a basic swap.
What makes the overmolded rubber worth it over a plain mil-spec stock?
The soft rubber gives you a more comfortable cheek weld and a butt pad that cushions felt recoil better than bare polymer. The friction fit also keeps the stock from rattling on the tube, and the beard-safe design avoids pinching when you shoulder the rifle. It's a noticeable comfort upgrade for daily range use.
