Picked up my first AR-15 this year and want to replace my grip and stock with something more usefull for the field. The gun is a DPMS Pather Bull and used for coyote. What have you found that has made a big different for you?
Thanks
 
what type of stock is on it now?

For a general purpose gun, i don't think you can beat one of the collapsing stocks that fit your tastes

Ergo and Hogue make nice replacement pistol grips.

I like the Magpul MIAD grip system. Thick back strap and larger trigger guard front strap. I happen to like an A2 stock for a static one and the MOE or CTR for a slider.

I am in love with the Magpul ACS stock. I have replaced all
of my A2 butt stocks with either CAA CBST or Magpul ACS
stocks, and all new stock upgrades going forward will be
Magpul ACS stocks. They are quiet, have some storage for
optics batteries, and are Magpul tough. And the charging
handle slides over the stock when collapsed. Why collapsing
stocks? They allow you to quickly adapt the rifle to different
shooters, different situations, and different clothing
thicknesses. Fixed stocks like the A2 or the Ace would not
be a choice for me. The Magpul PRS might be a good choice
for a dedicated target/colony varmint rifle, where situations
and shooting positions are relatively consistent.

As for grips, some Ergos are fine, and I like the CAA grip
than comes with three different inserts to tune it to a more
comfortable grip for different hand sizes. You might want to
fondle a few before making this purchase.

For the grip, like BMP, I really like the Magpul MIAD. It has core inserts that hold the batteries for the EoTech or 223s, etc. I never liked the stock grip, preferring the thick backstrap in the MIAD to make it as fat as possible.

there are a number of stocks with an adjustable cheek piece,

Magpul
FAB Defense
CAA
ATI

and others but those are the ones that come to mind.

The ACE is slightly lighter. If youorder one, make sure you get the diameter that matches your existing buffer tube. You may need to pull your stock and measure the OD to figure that out.

i started using the hook style stock and have never looked back.
granted, this is my "wheelbarrow" gun but the stock gives me a comfortable setpoint.

Your LOP will be SHORTER with most collapsible stock more than likely with ANY brand unless you look at the stocks geared towards longer range/rifles rather than CAR. The Magpul ACS for instance I put on a lower with a 2-stage as I don't intend to use it on any carbine uppers, and use it for more target/long range work and the longer LOP is nice. Magpul PRS and other higher end tactical rifle stocks will also be ~as long as the A2 stock. Also the ACE ARFX stock, RRA Operator stock, etc that use the A2 tube will be ~ same LOP as an A2 stock. Any CAR collapsible definitely won't be.
