New Magpul Stock!

[Amattern]

Just arrived today! First impressions, I'm in love! Same great cheek weld as the Magpul ACS but weighs considerably less at least to me. It is also slightly longer than the CTR I'm currently running which allows me to get a better cheek weld. I got it from Joeboboutfitters for $80 shipped. Now I just need to decide whether to keep the CTR on my SBR build or sell it and pick up another STR?

Looks good!
What's with the nut in the QD? I haven't seen one like that before.
We need to get Joeboboutfitters as a site sponsor here.
I made an order a couple weeks ago and was highly impressed with the price, speed and communication.

I don't know, it came with it already there.(I know the CTR's had to be purchased serperately) I will probably take it off since I don't use the sling points on the stock, I like mine further up where the reciever and buffer tube meet.

I have ordered from Joebobs a couple times now and haven't had an single problem yet. very good pricing, fast shipping, and they throw in free stuff.

It allows the socket to be removed and switched over to the other side.

Actually the CTR has an ambidextrous QD mount built in. Its the ACS that also has the add-on mount.

Too many acronyms.

Seems like they would just make it an ambi? Is there a reason other than cost not to?

Yep.

I believe it has to do with not having enough space around the added cheekweld storage tubes. The QD mount had to be brought out to clear them.

I picked one up for 180.00. Wish I would have gotten 2. Depends what the app is,but one of my favorite stocks.

Too many acronyms.

I ordered a PRS PDQ when they first came out. I clicked "air freight" since i wanted it ASAP, but the POS company sent it ground...SNAFU. I just hope the PRS will allow me to see my t-1 to help make targets FUBAR or in case of TEOtWAWKI otherwise I think i have a lawsuit IANAL though. ROLF LOL BRB

Got it.

I was under the impression that they'd make them full ambi like my Vltor.

+1 to OP .... never heard of JoeBobs and was having a hard time finding this in stock.

Just got my STR in, im loving it already and i havent even gotten it on my rifle yet! I may start looking at ways to cut some weight off my gun, does anyone know if the CTR is noticeably lighter?

Just got my STR

How much padding is really on these? My son is whining that he needs padding on the AR in order to shoot it He is 13 and doesn't like the hard plastic spiked texture that came on the RAA LAR-15 and says he will shoot it if I change to something with padding. He will shoot 12ga slugs because there is padding.

I see this comes in mil-spec and commercial-spec models.... How does a guy know which to order?

Depends on whether you have a mil-spec buffer tube or a commercial buffer tube. See link below for more info:

In my picture above I have the enhanced buttpad on my stock which is the thickest pad magpul offers.

Take your buttstock off your rifle if the end of the buffertube is angled its commercial, if it is flat it is milspec. Most rock rivers are commercial spec buffer tubes.

Thought the difference was in the threads and tolerances?

I have a commercial buffertube the end is flat. It came off of a sig556.

Thank you for the link! It seems I have an angle and now know what I need to look for.

Commercial it is then. Good to know that is the thickest pad. Now to locate one....
