The Hogue 15078 OverMolded Stock Kit transforms standard AR-15 and M16 platforms with enhanced ergonomics and superior grip control. This complete black synthetic kit replaces factory furniture with Hogue's signature rubber overmolding technology for consistent handling in all conditions.
What Makes This Different
Hogue's proprietary overmolding process bonds rubber directly to the underlying polymer structure, creating a non-slip surface that won't separate or peel over time. Unlike textured plastic alternatives that become slippery when wet, the cobblestone texture pattern maintains positive grip control through moisture, temperature changes, and extended use. The integrated design eliminates the gaps and seams found in multi-piece furniture systems.
Key Features
- Complete stock kit includes rifle-length forend and pistol grip with finger grooves
- Overmolded rubber construction with cobblestone texture pattern
- Direct replacement for standard AR-15/M16 furniture - no modifications required
- Finger groove pistol grip designed for right-handed shooters
- Rifle-length forend accommodates standard rifle-length gas systems
- Chemical-resistant rubber withstands solvents and cleaning products
- Matte black finish reduces glare and blends with tactical accessories
Field performance centers on consistent weapon control across varying environmental conditions. The rubber overmolding maintains grip security during rapid fire sequences and extended shooting sessions where perspiration typically degrades control. Competition shooters benefit from the repeatable hand placement provided by the finger groove design, while the extended forend surface supports multiple shooting positions and accessories mounting.
