    All metal AR15 stock

    Looking for an all metal ar15 stock (not a fan of polymer). Top contenders Fortis LA Stock and JL Billet Stock. Only requirements are that’s it’s all metal (within reason) and adjustable LOP, any recommendations?

    You could try one of the vintage vinyl coated aluminum stocks - or more precisely a reproduction version, since the originals are $$$. Essential Arms in Louisiana makes a good one.

    What are the advantages of a metal stock vs polymer?

    If you can get similar weight while being stronger why not go aluminum.

    Apparently some want to use their firearm as a club or hammer.

    From the manufacturer's side the advantage is you don't have to cut a $100k+ injection mold, which also allows you to make changes to the design or introduce new products faster and cheaper. From the consumer side, you're getting a heavier, much more expensive product that has no real practical advantage.

    Polymer. It's more durable if done right, i.e. Magpul.
