AG Composites: The Carbon Fiber Stock We Trust for Ultralight Precision Builds

If you've ever shouldered a rifle and thought "I wish this weighed less," you already understand the appeal of AG Composites. Based in Orem, Utah, AG Composites has become one of the most respected names in carbon fiber rifle stocks — and they're a staple here at Ares Custom Rifles for a reason.

Unmatched Weight Savings Without Sacrificing Rigidity

A quality carbon fiber stock from AG can shave a full pound or more compared to a traditional fiberglass or synthetic stock. That might not sound dramatic until you're packing a mile into the backcountry or glassing from a ridgeline. On a precision mountain rifle build, we'll often pair an AG Composites stock with a lightweight action and barrel profile to hit sub-7-lb packages that still shoot sub-half-MOA.

Bedding and Fit

What separates AG from cheaper carbon options is the attention to bedding surface geometry. Their inlets are clean and consistent, which means our pillar and glass bedding work sets up right every time. A sloppy inlet on a composite stock wastes half the build — AG makes that part easy.

Which Builds We Spec AG Composites On

We reach for AG stocks primarily on hunting builds — especially mountain or backcountry rifles where the customer is carrying the gun all day. For dedicated bench or PRS competition work, we'll usually steer toward a chassis, but if a customer wants a traditional stock look with race-ready weight, AG is the answer.
