The Urban Sniper Stock is a unique adjustable buttstock from American Built Arms and includes several notable options for flexible use on any AR-style rifle.

The stock comes with what the company calls a "fixed-adjustable" design, which aims to eliminate movement and rattling associated with conventional carbine stocks.

The unit includes an ambidextrous cheek riser that is adjusted through the use of a roller on the right side of the stock. The riser has 0.75 inch of travel. The length of pull is also adjustable through the use of a spring-loaded butt pad that locks into one of four pre-set positions through the use of a button. Total length adjustment is 1.25 inches.

The stock itself measures in at 6.7 inches in its fully collapsed form and weighs just 9.5 ounces. The stock also features ambidextrous QD sling swivel mounts and a Picatinny rail on the bottom for easy monopod mounting.

Some of the more unique features of the Urban Sniper stock are found in its mounting system. The stock uses a single threaded screw that secures the stock to the underside of either a mil-spec or commercial buffer tube. In addition, the cheek riser and its adjustment knob can also be removed, allowing the stock to be used as a standard AR-style carbine stock rather than a precision rifle stock.

The suggested retail price on the AB Arms Urban Sniper Stock is $99.99.
