New AR-15 Stock by Modular Driven Technologies
Modular Driven Technologies has introduced a new AR-15 stock called Skeleton Carbine Stock (SCS). The stock is designed to provide a wide range of adjustability options and at the same time be very lightweight. It is made of 6061 aluminum and has a Cerakote finish.
SCS stock features three QD swivel attachment points: one on either side and the third one is on the bottom portion. It is also possible to attach a Picatinny rail on the bottom for mounting a monopod. In order to make it as lightweight as possible, MDT has skeletonized it by removing the material where it is unnecessary. The result is a 1.5 lb stock.
The length of pull, as well as the butt plate height and angle, are adjustable. The buffer tube comes with either a foam cover or with an adjustable cheek riser. The SCS stock also comes with its own custom buffer tube of different lengths and with a standard castle nut. The buffer tube has a scribe mark which allows the shooter to set the angle of the stock. The MDT SCS stock is available through the manufacturer’s website. The price varies depending on whether you choose the foam cover ($219.99) or the adjustable cheek piece ($249.99). There are also two color options – black and FDE.
Note the dovetail attachment of two pieces of the butt plate. I think it is a good method and should make it a very robust design.

Neat.
I love the MDT HS3 chassis on my Tikka T3x, and their polymer magazines are excellent.
I use a LuthAR MBA-3 on that rifle, and won't likely replace it with this. If I had an AR-pattern rifle, though, and weight was a concern this would be a very enticing option.
Skeletonistic and very minimal at that but it looks like components just clamped to the buffer tube not a full stock, leaving the buffer tube exposed leaving it open to possible damage, one small ding could cause the buffer to jam, by the looks of it, it's not all that adjustable in length compared to a six position stock, I think I'll keep what I have.
