Ar 15 butt stock

[mm5de88]

I am building a 450 Bushmaster and was wondering what would be the best butt stock toput on it?

A magpul CTR may do the trick

It's got a rubber butt pad on it which would enable you to keep a placement against your shoulder.
That way, when running the rifle, youd have better recoil control and better absorb the recoil.

That's my opinion.
Plus CTR has nice amenities as well

Depending on length you want, the A1/A2 stock should suit your needs fine.

(unless you just really want that big round magpul sticker)

I have a CTR on a Contender, extended .50" recoil pad (not very soft but softer than original) and a .50" riser clipped on the top.
The original rubber is for non slip, isn't really a recoil pad IMHO.
The snap on risers for proper scope cheekweld IMHO are a pretty nice option.
If going with a more conventional stock you might have to use something else, like a Beartooth neoprene slide on or fab something at home- which may alter the stock from original (hurt resale or mar it should you decide to convert it back).
Having said that, I've made a few decent looking cheekpieces from Kydex, attached with Chicago screws.

Thanks for the suggestions now all I have to do is find a 450 Bushmaster upper that might not be so easy since Bushmaster has no idea when they will have any available.

CTR was my initial thought as well.

The STR is an improvement over the CTR if you prefer a much more comfortable cheek weld.

There's not enough of a weight difference to matter.

Very nice!
I need that riser!

My Bushmaster is a com-spec firearm. Yours will likely be the same as mine.

Check before you buy parts.

If you have a commercial spec buffer tube, ditch it for a milspec one...

No, the tube its self doesn't matter but the dimensions for optimal stock fit do matter. Commercial tubes and commercial stocks from any brand seem to have a lot of wobble in them.

Milspec on the otherside, I've never seen the need for the lock on the CTR/STR stocks, they're rock solid as is.
