AG Composites Will Unveil New Stocks for the Iconic M1A Rifle at the 2025 SHOT Show

Tuesday, January 14th, 2025

OWENS CROSS ROADS, Ala.  (Jan. 13, 2025) — AG Composites, the renowned leader in custom rifle stock design and production, is thrilled to announce the debut of its latest composite and fiberglass stocks for the iconic M1A rifle. The highly anticipated unveiling will occur at the prestigious 2025 SHOT Show, scheduled from January 21-25 at the Venetian Expo and Ceasar’s Forum in Las Vegas, NV. Attendees can visit AG Composites at booth #42126.

Originally introduced by Springfield Armory in 1971, the M1A rifle is the civilian version of the legendary M14. Starting in 1957, the M14 was the standard issue battle rifle for the U.S. military. Over the years, the M1A has gained immense popularity among competition, recreational shooters, and sportsmen.

“Stocks for the M1A rifle were the very first our company ever produced,” stated Matt Tandy, owner of AG Composites. “As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we are delighted to reintroduce these stocks in both composite and fiberglass variations. Being a veteran-owned business with numerous veteran employees, this rifle holds a special place in our hearts. We are committed to providing M1A shooters with stocks that offer exceptional accuracy at affordable prices.”

The composite and fiberglass M1A stocks from AG Composites are meticulously crafted using a cutting-edge 71-step process and state-of-the-art technology. The company employs modern design software such as Solidworks and AutoDesk to create Computer Aided Design (CAD) models, ensuring the production of premium rifle stock lines. AG Composites exclusively utilizes top-quality carbon fiber, fiberglass, epoxy, and paint products in the manufacturing of all their rifle stocks. Their proprietary production process, which remains a closely guarded secret, enables them to deliver best-in-class stocks with significantly shorter lead times compared to competitors. Every step of the manufacturing process is driven by consistency, efficiency, cost control, and rigorous quality control checks. Furthermore, all AG Composites stocks are proudly 100 percent made in America.

The new M1A composite stock will have a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $769, while the fiberglass version will be priced at $499. Both models will come with standard swivel studs in the front and rear, and customers can add all the typical custom options, such as texture, finish, etc. For more information about AG Composites’ extensive range of custom stocks and accessories, please visit their website at www.agcomposites.com or contact them at 1-833-AGSTOCK or 256-723-8381.

Boasting interchangeable 100% UV protection lenses that are resistant to scratches, and have an anti-fog coating, preventing the eyewear from fogging in the heat of the mission.

The temple arm design works seamlessly with head-borne equipment for optimal comms compatibility and performance in the field while offering all-day comfort.

ZANT: The Zant eyewear system features a high performance, scratch-resistant, anti-fog lens, offering superior ballistic protection and flawless optics, providing extreme low-profile defense for fast-moving, dynamic missions. The adjustable head strap keeps eyewear secure during rigorous activity.
