Hogue AR-15 Overmolded Stock Set Review

Im building my very first ar15 and im not to sure what is the best caliber to build it in. I see most guys going .300 blackout. I wanted to go .556 because its cheaper for the bullets but whats so great about the .300 blackout?

For a first time buyer can you recommend a good AR15 or AR10 to get,buy once type of thing ?

Will this fit or work on a ar10 dpms 308

I just ordered something pretty similar for my Ruger AR 556 http://www.primaryarms.com/Kit-HO15020-15040 Thank you!

that is a really good color

Another review of this forend said "CANNOT INSTALL FRONT IRON SIGHTS", apparently because it's round. Is it possible to get it dead-nuts center to install one? I see you've got a set on there… how about the height of the sights? Same plane?

Sootch,
I'm in the process of building a new lightweight AR. I took your advice and got the MFT stock a while ago for a different build and I love it. I'm looking at this kit for my new build, but do you think it's appropriate for a lightweight build?

hey scotch will that stock fit on my existing mil spec buffer tube

what lower is that?

Awesome!

Does anyone know the weight on the rifle Length Free Float Forehand?

how do you remove the barrel nut?

I think these might be great for a Ruger Precision Rifle, for people who don't like the overly "tactical" skeletonized look.

Hey Sootch, I'm building an AR with the following:

7.62×39 upper;
CMMG Mutant lower;
YHM front and rear sights;
XS std. dot peep sights, 24/7;
Hogue grip and stock;
Fostech Echo trigger.

Not bad for an AK guy. I think it's a perfect marriage of both types of rifles.

What muzzle break do you have?

What about the heat factor? doe's it hold the heat in….

I recently purchased this Hogue kit for my AR. The one thing that I don't like which I have not seen mentioned anywhere is how quickly and how hot the forend gets. There is very little ventilation between the barrel and the forend. After just a quick 10 rounds the grip felt distinctly warm to the touch. It takes a while for the heat to penetrate the grip but after it does the rubber seems to retain it for quite sometime. I don't see this forend as being practical if you are planning on shooting a high number of rounds in a short amount of time. For me and my usage it will likely never be a problem but something you should consider when making the decision to buy. Love the rest of the kit though, especially the stock which slides easily yet has no discernible "wiggle".

Just curious, what is the attachment to your bolt release there? Out of the ar's I've shot, I've yet to see something like that…

Ive always been drawn more to the AK models but the hogue set up in the brick red is so damn sexy i would to build an AR just to put this on the thing.

I had the great pleasure of touring the factory in Paso Robles Ca over Christmas while visiting family. Absolutely great people and great products,

I dont think, that color is lava, or red. I would call it rust.^^ looks good though.

Thanks much looks like just what I need for a DPMS I bought from brother
someone painted the forearm and grip desert beige and paint wears off from use and cleaning it gets stickily 
good review

Nice looking hardware.

name of the song?

Looks really nice with the red and black, makes a nice change from the all black look. I'm thinking on going with the lava or gilley green for a rebuild of an old 5.56 AR with a quad rail that I never liked.

Still liking the hexmags ? I just ordered three, I'm looking forward to trying them next week once they get here.

I like the profile of that just not sure if Im digging the red

I've used Hogue grips on my handguns for over 30 years. But I've never had any Hogue rifle stocks except for what came on my Remington 700. I don't care for that stock. But I'll check out the AR stock/furniture set. The enclosed part of the fore-end makes me wonder how well it dissipates heat on sustained fire. It seems like the fore grip would get very hot because of the lack of or reduced ventilation from the keymod fore-end I have on my ARs currently. Thanks for the review, Don. 🙂

I'm not a fan of the Hogue AR pistol grips or the 10/22 stocks but that furniture set looks great!  Particularly that handguard.

Very beautifull rifle, thx for sharing.

Take care sootch!

When I got my AR15 what I wanted the most was a quadrail so I could attach all my neat little addons etc… I got a really nice quadrial that ran me a few hundred bucks I think and it worked great, was nice and solid and felt strong plus of course had a lot of space for anything youd need… After awhile I realized I just didn't need all the rail space and the rails themselves made the rifle kind of a PITA to hold because it dug into my hands. After holding an AR with the Hogue overmolded forend I knew I had to get one for myself. For me the level of comfort and usability of the Hogue forend is the best ive found so far. You don't quite realize how much comfort can affect your shooting until you get your hands on a forend like this.

 The quality of the fore-end itself is amazing. Its super sturdy, goes on nice and tight and feel like the rifle was MADE with it attached, almost like its just forged on instead of simply screwed on. I also have slightly smaller hands and shorter fingers than average but my hands are chubby so it can be a bit tough to find grips/guns that really fit securely in my hands and this fore-end is VERY easy to grab and maintain a good grip on.

I do sort of miss the ability to put attachements on my AR, specifically a light, but when it comes down to it, its not what id go for in the middle of the night if I needed my gun so a light isn't a necessity. As far as shooting at the range and doing competitions go, I couldn't imagine using a regular railed fore-end over the Hogue fore-end…

I haven't come across anything better at this point.

i have the Ergo Deluxe on my R25. This looks to be the perfect companion.

Nice!  The Attorney is a lefty!
