Armaspec XPDW: Sturdy Little Stock for Short Rifles and Carbines

The Armaspec XPDW adjustable rifle stock is sturdy Personal Defense Weapon length stock built with hardened steel rods. It  mounts to your standard mil-spec buffer tube so you can use your favorite buffer and spring combination. This is a great choice for pistol caliber carbines and anything else short.

First Look: Armaspec XPDW Stock
Stock fully collapsed only 6.875″ long

This stock is brand new, we saw it at TriggerCon. Unlike some of the competition, it is very solid seems to be built like a tank. Several things aside from the weight of the stock stood out to me, but first lets look at the specs and the break down of the XPDW Stock.

Specifications:

Weight: 16.06 Ounces

Lengths:

  • Closed Length: 6.875″
  • Fully Open Length: 10.0″

Number of length positions: five

Warranty: Lifetime

Materials: 

  • Body and butt pad: Aluminum
  • Guide and support rods: Hardened Steel

Special Features:

  • Quick detach point on butt pad
  • Uses standard Mil-Spec buffer tube
  • No special tools, buffer or springs needed
  • Made in U.S.A. (who doesn’t love that)
First Look: Armaspec XPDW Stock
Easily installation with supplied wrenches

Initial Impressions:

My initial impression is that this stock is heavier than other stocks I’ve tried. It keeps the center of gravity back towards the shooter making the rifle easier to handle. The butt pad assembly uses an ambidextrous button to release and it slides effortlessly. The stock does however stop at each of the five strops along the rail for easy adjustment on the fly. Installation on any Mil-Spec AR15 buffer tube takes less than two minutes. I demonstrated this in the below video.

Looking over the stock at first I thought it was missing a sling point and was going to note that in the review until I saw a hole in the bottom of the stock and decided to try to insert a quick detach sling point in the, and PRESTO, it worked. I then read the literature provided and checked the Armaspec company web site and yes they didn’t forget the quick detach sling point.

Testing and Videos

This stock will be tested in the very near future on my Noveske 10.5″ short barrel rifle. I have to take the SBR out to try out new optics and a new Geissele Mk IV rail anyway so why not try a bunch of stuff at once. I fully intend to drop this, scratch it, and test its impact resistance in lots of imaginative ways I assure you. Here is a quick install and overview video until I get out to the range.
