The LaRue Tactical RAT Stock (model LT800-FDE) is a collapsible AR-15 buttstock designed to provide a secure, rattle-free interface on standard Mil-Spec receiver extension tubes. Constructed from impact-resistant, glass-filled polymer over CNC-machined metal internal components, it features a Flat Dark Earth (FDE) finish. The RAT stock integrates a proprietary two-stage trigger adjustment mechanism: a partial pull unlocks standard length-of-pull adjustments along buffer tube positions, while a full rearward pull completely disengages the internal locking mechanism for rapid installation and removal without external tools. A sliding, lockable rear butt-plate opens to reveal internal storage compartments engineered to house standard sectional cleaning rods and pull-through cleaning kits directly inside the stock.

Key Features

• No-Rattle Mil-Spec Fit: Internal CNC-machined metal components deliver a tight lockup on standard Mil-Spec buffer tubes without needing a separate friction-lock lever.
• Two-Stage Adjustment Trigger: Replaces traditional levers with an integrated trigger that partially pulls for length-of-pull positioning and fully pulls for stock removal.
• Integrated Cleaning Kit Storage: Features a sliding rear butt-plate providing dedicated internal compartments for standard cleaning kit components.

• Durable Construction: Engineered with a glass-filled polymer housing designed for all-weather field, hunting, and sport shooting applications.

Who is the LaRue Tactical RAT Stock in Flat Dark Earth for?

• AR-15 tactical rifle builders — requires a compact 6.99-inch overall length profile combined with internal CNC-machined metal components that eliminate stock wobble on Mil-Spec buffer tubes without secondary levers.
• Sport shooters using Mil-Spec buffer tube chassis systems — benefits from a streamlined 5.30-inch height profile and integrated 1/4-inch QD sling sockets on a collapsible buttstock for rapid position changes during dynamic courses of fire.
• Hunters utilising straight-pull or lever-action firearms with AR-15 compatible buffer tubes — leverages the 6.99-inch long polymer stock footprint with dedicated internal butt-plate storage to carry sectional cleaning equipment directly in the field.

Less suitable for: Long-range precision shooters requiring micro-adjustable cheek risers or vertical butt-pad cant adjustments, who are better served by dedicated PRS-style adjustable precision chassis stocks. Additionally incompatible with Commercial-Spec buffer tubes or fixed A2 receiver extensions without a conversion kit.
