Designed a flat bottom index set screw (10-24) to eliminate that constant rattle of carbine collapsible buttstock. This also allows you to secure the stock in your favorite position.
3-axis adjustable butt plate assembly (keep in mind this butt plate assembly is interchangeable with the original MBA-1 Buttstock) will have the following movement:
1. Horizontal for linear adjustment (i.e. length of pull)

3. Lateral adjustment for a ½ inch left or right cast.
Ergonomic
The MBA-3 and MBA-4 available in Black or Flat Dark Earth
