Collapsed, it adds only 5 inches to the rifle. It&#8217;s spring-loaded and extends instantly at the push of a button. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its compact size, the CQ-S has five adjustable positions. All five positions lock up tight. The stock extends to add 9 inches to your AR. In its longest configuration, it&#8217;s a 12.5-inch length of pull. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire stock is made from aluminum and steel. The aluminum is hardcoat anodized for added durability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two QD sling locations. One is hidden underneath the stock release button and the other is in the back of the stock seen in the photo below. You can hit either QD mount from either side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can fire the rifle safely while the stock is compressed and it will function the same as when it&#8217;s extended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"804\" title=\"ODIN Works CQ-S Rifle Stock - Full Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/ODIN-Works-C-QS-9-1-1024x804.jpg\" alt=\"ODIN Works CQ-S Rifle Stock - Full Review\" class=\"wp-image-121644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/ODIN-Works-C-QS-9-1-1024x804.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/ODIN-Works-C-QS-9-1-382x300.jpg 382w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/ODIN-Works-C-QS-9-1-150x118.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/ODIN-Works-C-QS-9-1-768x603.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/ODIN-Works-C-QS-9-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The Odin CQ-S stock mounted on a Seekins Precision rifle with ERGO Grip and AR Gold Flat Trigger.
