JL Billet’s MBS (Modular Billet Stock) is a patented all-aluminum modular buttstock designed to fit AR-15 and AR-10 Mil-Spec collapsible buffer tubes.
They start with chunks of 6061 T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and precision CNC machine each piece to ensure an exact fit and perfect function. The MBS is a modular design that allows all components of the stock to be replaced if damaged. You can also change up the color and design to set your AR-15 apart. They don’t use any plastic on this stock, other than the rubber base and cheek pads; this allows you to Cerakote or anodize whatever color you like to accessorize and customize to your specific needs.
The MBS is skeletonized to reduce weight while maintaining strength and giving a look like nothing else on the market. Weight without a buffer tube installed is only 16 ounces. It’s not for the weak guys who can’t handle a few extra ounces in their rifle.
Of note, for those of you in California, the MBS can be used as a fixed stock as well with the use of a longer trigger set screw.
