There are a lot of reasons as to why you would need to remove the buttstock on your AR-15 rifle. Some of those reasons may be:

  • To clean your stock
  • To replace your stock with a new one
  • You need to fix it
  • You just like to take apart your guns (me!)

Whatever reason you may have for wanting to take apart your stock, it can sometimes be a pain in the butt to do it. Especially if you are removing it for the very first time.

There are some small tips and tricks that you can use to make the whole process go smoother and quicker. That is what I will be covering today and by the end of this article you should be able to remove you ar15 stock without a problem!

To make your life a lot easier, make sure that you have a wrench tool. This will make taking off the stock a lot easier. Here at Max Blagg we would recommend getting the NC Star Wrench Tool as it will do everything you need and more!
