MOE vs CTR

[theweakerbrother]

I know the differences between the two and paid a little bit of attention between the two models at the last AR Open House. The CTR locks into place a little more firmly than the MOE does and the CTR has a sling swivel built into the stock.

I've got another build coming up and was wondering if the CTR was worth the price difference between the two? It is about 30-40% more just for the sling swivel and locking tube ability?

Thanks, INGO!

I am biased but to me it is worth the extra cost.

I have 2 MOE's and love them. Huge upgrade from stock, they fit much better. I run single and dual point slings on mine with the rear point at the tube nut, not the stock. I wanted the CTR, but buying 2 of them was out of my budget.

If I go the CTR route, I'm thinking about going with UDE for my Umbrella Corp. lower.

Chris, what about the CTR makes you biased towards it? What is already aforementioned with the tube lock and the swivel mount? Is it possible for you to get UDE as a Magpul dealer? I want something to make it stand out just a bit more than what I normally see in stock.

Not to threadjack my own thread but are we going to see another section of Build Deals from ISD™ pop up? Thoroughly enjoying my Streamlight PolyTac flashlight from the last 1500. I've got at least one thing I'll be picking up from you at the next build party if you're going to be in attendance.

Yes, I like the CTR over the MOE just for the friction lock and the QD mount point.

UDE is an exclusive LaRue only color and can only be bought from LaRue.


I will be at the next build and here in the next week or so will be starting another thread with Build Deals.

I've not shot with the MOE, but have shot with the CTR. Very solid, especially compared to a standard 6-position carbine stock.

The friction lock on my CTR is rock solid. Thats why I replaced the standard adjustable stock in the first place. Is there even an advantage by replacing a mil style adjustable stock with a MOE? I dont see what there is to gain, besides a stock that looks similar to the CTR?

1) integral low-profile rubber buttpad

2) the MOE stock has a more solid fit on the receiver extension (buffer tube) than do most standard M4 stocks

3) more comfortable cheek weld (this is debatable)

What effect does the movement of the receiver extension inside the stock have on the weapon or use of the weapon?

I have a CTR on my converted Saiga 12 i've put 1500 rounds through it with the CTR on and have been nothing but impressed W/the stock friction lock makes this thing rock solid. i would go with the CTR it's only another $30 bucks

worth it

Not worth it.

I am a MOE guy myself.. The friction lock means nothing to me. Usually my armor or clothing keeps me from feeling the .025mm of wobble caused by not having a friction the lock. Or I am shooting to fast, moving position, or something else to notice it. To me that 30 bucks could have bought a bunch of spray paint, 5 boxes of ammo, 2 more mags, a case of beer and a steak, 10 pounds of bacon, or whatever for .025mm of wobble you'll only notice when you are sitting at home hating your M4 for getting so god awful dirty and wished you'd dropped 30 bucks on q-tips and a boresnake....
