Like the Gen 6 the Gen 7 is a CQB stock built for comfort and durability for real-world use. No buttons to push just pull the stock to deploy. At its most collapsed position this CQB stock only adds 5.35 to your AR15. At full extension the Maxim CQB stock is the length of an extended carbine stock. And with 4 total positions you can adjust for maximum comfort and multiple scenarios. Rapid deployment purpose driven materials and the functionality you need the Maxim Defense CQB Stock is simply the most thought out versatile and durable CQB stock on the market. The Gen 7 is for those who want a sleeker profile eliminating the side sling swivel attachment points from the housing. Instead the Gen 7 comes with our ambidextrous sling mount already installed.
