Did the thought cross your mind? Useless or ?
I like the CTR but don't use storage. Dunno how big the market is for that.

Actually, that's not exactly correct.

The STR is a CTR with the ACS storage tubes on it. The ACS-L does not have the storage tubes on it but does have side extensions to give a wider area for cheekweld. It's slighter thinner (width-wise) compared to the STR and CTR.

Magpul has all the specs on their site.

What you are talking about is an STR with ACS-L side panels.

This is possible?? Does magpul sell the side panels by themselves/ is it user swappable?

From what I can tell from pics is they took the CTR and ACS, cut the tops off each one, then swapped them. ACSL has a little bit of cheek piece though so not a total 1 for 1, but close.

Not quite. Last I checked a CTR doesn't fully collapse on an A5 RE. Plus, my CTR is a little thinner than my ACS-L.

I think a CTR with the half cheek rest like the ACS-L is exactly what I'd want
