Looks like spec weight is increasing as revisions are being done?

Is there a realistic date when this stock will be released? I'd have put a Gen-1 on if the Gen-II didn't have the A5 option on it. Are we looking at a Black Friday release perhaps?

I like the gen 1 for balancing a heavy front rifles.
I can see me liking the gen 2 for the lighter rifles and using the A5 tube length. Now does anyone know how much the A5 tube, ACS stock, and nut and plate weight? I planned on using this set up for my 308 build, but now the gen 2 has caught my eye. |

Seriously. Why did they even announce this so early? I'd have bought the old UBR 6 months ago if I didn't know about this one. How does that make sense?

Unfortunately if I get my sbr tax stamp before my ubr 2, I'll likely cancel my preorder and toss a acs-l on my rifle. I've been looking forward to this release since early spring.

If I understand correctly the UBR gen 2 will have a built in A5 tube and all you need is an A5 compatible buffer and rifle length spring or is it something else to buy for A5 compatibility?
Just out of curiosity, what advantage would the UBR have over the Magpul ACS and a Vltor A5 buffer tube? |

Besides the constant cheek rest position, the Ubr is a sturdier system. It is also possible to preset length of pull positions and remove the storage entirely. I think the acs storage is none reversible and permanent. If the weight isn't a drawback for your system, there really isn't a downside

Magpul is loosing credibility in my book. This and the PRS have been delayed three times now. I have a brand new rifle and hence lower, waiting on this stock. It is supposed to be my precision build for coyote hunting. I would have just gotten the original UBR if I didn't really want to use and have the Vltor A5 system waiting to be installed. To get by I used my Daniel Defense lower from a V11 to sight in the rifle and verify proper function. I'm getting to the point where I want to tell Magpul how disappointed I am in their lack of transparency by cancelling my pre order. Can't wait until they reintroduce the product at Shot Show 2017, you all know it's going to happen. Maybe if they weren't so focused on these random products they have been coming out with and stick with their bread and butter they could keep their customers satisfied. There are a few situations that could be causing the delay. 1) They lost some of their engineering staff responsible for the design, 2) having problems with the durability or function, or 3) having manufacturing issues. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, and know it should not take this long to get the injection molding figured out. SolidWorks makes it so easy to do mold design these days. I can't imagine that the manufacture of the gen 1 and gen 2 are that different. End rant.

I guess I'm lucky. I want one of these to replace a CTR and Troy A5 tube on my AR10, so I can wait indefinitely. It had better be awesome when it finally comes out, though
I "backordered" one of these from Brownells last Spring. I saw "Spring 2016" (before all the delays) and saw "Backorder" on Brownells and ordered one. I cancelled the order when I figured out these weren't actually out yet. At least Brownells finally changed "Backorder" to "Alert me when available".

ETA. I emailed and IM'd magpul and asked them to step in and share a real update. Only reply back I got was late '16. We're already there. So I'm guessing summer 2017. |

It's been a busy year... but we're finishing up some testing now. The UBR GEN2 as well as the PRS GEN3 and MOE SL-S will be out sometime in December and we'll make the announcements here along with our typical social media and newsfeed releases. Stay tuned!  My guess is that we won't see anything in the retail channel till February 2017 at the earliest.

I'm starting to get the feeling that I'm going to be very disappointed in this stock the day my preorder arrives. All this hype and waiting has put my expectations extremely high. I mean, this product was initially due in the summer. This thing better be perfect with the extra 6 months spent in development.
Man I hope to eat my words. |

From their industry forum...
Quoted:
We did some internal design changes to tweak feel, fit, and function, and with the production demands this year, things got way slow to get into the presses. So, unfortunately, we are REALLY late on some things. Apologies. UBR should be ready to ship before or around SHOT 2017. PRS and SL-S will be in December. Building now. |

I was thinking about the Magpul rep that is having to run the account on AR15.com. Obviously this person has zero control over the timing of these parts being released, but they're having to answer to the eager customers (us) for any delays. I'm sure they're reading all of our comments, since they started this thread. But I wouldn't want to post a single reply until I KNEW for certain that the product was going to be available. I feel bad for them because its the people in the management/design/manufacturing departments that are to blame. Not the poor guy/gal trying to fend off and angry mob on probably a dozen different forums. |

Perhaps if Magpul would concentrate more on the products that keeps them in buisness and less on shirts, gloves, jackets, belts and the like, the UBR and the PRS would already be on the shelves. I get emails all the damn time about dumbass products that have zero to do with why I even consider Magpul.

I would think that if they already took product photos, field use photos, sneak peaks & advertisement videos that the product is pretty much already done. I do not see them doing any of this if the product still needs multiple revisions, tweaks & fixes. Its not like this is a new "from the ground up" stock. And I agree that Magpul needs to focus on their bread & butter products & less on the apparel and branded accessories that nobody has ever asked for. |

It has been a crazy year with the election and the surge in existing products which has ment a delay in testing required changes that have resulted through our testing protocols. As a result we are faced with releasing a product before it is ready or delaying it's release. In this case we always defer to the latter.
As stated before PRS 3 and SLS are already in production (not released yet) and the UBR 2 is not far behind. The soft goods team is entirely separate and release of these products bear no impact on the hardgoods side, however items like military testing and the development of the MCT color for the military did make an impact on releases this year. We are as disappointed as everyone here on the delay of these releases but we have no intentions on compromising the published foundation of "no wine before it's time". The UBR2 will be soon and it will be right. |
