Description
Ares M45 Series Retractable Stock with Stabilizing Brace (Black – AM-ABS005-BK)
This is a retractable stock with a stabilizing brace from Ares, listed for the M45 series and finished in black under the code AM-ABS005-BK. Ares builds the M45 family as a compact, modular platform, and offers M45X-S versions fitted from the factory with a retractable stock and arm stabilising brace. This part lets you add that look and handling to a compatible M45 replica, or replace a damaged or worn stock.
A brace-style stock gives a short replica a modern PDW profile. It collapses to keep the gun compact for transport and tight CQB spaces, then extends to give you a steadier hold when you shoulder it. It suits M45 owners who want to change the character of their replica without buying a whole new gun.
Design and handling
The stock is retractable, so you can choose a length that suits your build, body armour and shooting position. The stabilizing brace profile adds a distinctive outline at the rear, and many players like the way it frames the cheek weld when shooting through a red dot. Check the product images for the exact shape, locking mechanism and sling attachment points on this part.
Fitting it
Remove the battery from the replica before you start. Follow the method described in your M45 manual or the original stock fixing, take your time, and avoid forcing anything. Make sure any wiring at the rear of the gun is routed so it is not pinched when the stock is fitted, extended or collapsed. If you are not confident, we are happy to advise.

Compatibility
Listed for the Ares M45 series. Ares has produced several M45 variants with different stock and battery arrangements, so check your exact model and the way its stock attaches before ordering. It is not designed for M4 buffer tubes or other brands unless stated, and battery space in the rear of the replica may affect which battery sizes fit.
Care and maintenance
Wipe the stock down after muddy or wet games and let it dry before storing. Keep grit out of the sliding and locking parts, and check that the stock locks firmly in each position before a game. Look over fixings now and then and tighten anything that has worked loose.
