Weight comes in about the same due to the multi buffer tube compatibility and the buttpad canting/slider mechanism

Coming Late 2016: Magpul PRS Gen3

The PRS GEN3 is a field precision stock for AR15/M16 and AR10/SR25 platforms, featuring tool-less length of pull and cheek piece height adjustment. With solid adjustments for length of pull and cheek piece height via aluminum detent knobs, the PRS GEN3 (Precision Rifle/Sniper) stock provides a stable interface and is intended for semi-automatic sniper or varmint type rifles. Offering a nearly universal fit, it installs on rifle-length receiver extensions as well as mil-spec carbine and A5-length tubes. Includes a cant/height-adjustable rubber butt-pad and rotation-limiting QD sling swivel cups as well as M-LOK slots on the bottom for rear monopod mounting.

FEATURES:
* Mounts to rifle-length, mil-spec carbine, or A5-length receiver extension tubes (not included)

* Enhanced strength butt-plate withstands severe impact and recoil up to .50 BMG

* Rubber butt-pad provides positive shoulder purchase to prevent slippage and is adjustable for both cant and height

* Machined aluminum LOP and Cheek Piece adjustment knobs with positive locking click detents

* Steel adjustment shafts finished with Melonite® for wear and corrosion resistance

* All aluminum components finished with MIL-A-8625F, Type III, Class 2 hard anodizing

* Bottom M-LOK slots provide additional sling mounting possibilities or for attaching 1913 Picatinny rails for use with a monopod

* Sling Mounts

Front/Rear - rotation limited QD sling swivel mounts (swivels not included)
Rear - 1.25" aluminum sling loop (left-right reversible)

I wish that MLOK portion were replaced with a flip down and adjustable monopod rather than serve as a base to stack something that you can stack a monopod on!

I really like the features. And really dislike the new look. Think I'm going to stick with my UBR. After all a good looking rifle cuts group sizes in half.

Is it just me, or do the pictures make it look like the stock is bent downward slightly?

I like how it looks & think it looks better than the older PRS. Was never really a fan of the UBR & honestly thinks that looks bad especially extended at all.

Hold a piece of paper up to your monitor or something straight. Stock is inline with the barrel. Not trying to be offensive or snappy to you at all

Any better idea of release date or still just simply "late 2016"?

Gen 3? I did not know that there is a Gen 2... Whats the deal with the Gen2? I have a PRS stock.. Its not a gen 3 but I dont know if its a Gen 1 or 2...

Gen 1/Gen 2 PRS stocks are visually identical and only differ in material and some other internal details. Gen 1 was only made for the first year of production and very few were manufactured compared to the Gen 2.

The M-Lok slot on the bottom is a cool idea. A BT AccShot monopod rail mounted version mounted on a KDG Kinect QD m-Lok rail will allow a QD monopod interface with the M-Lok slot

Or you could run the stud mount monopod on the KDG bipod QD m-lok mount

I see these are up for preorder on some websites. Placed one, we'll see how long it takes.

Well shit. I was all set to get a new UBR and now I see this. For those who have used both..or either for that matter, which would you chose for an 18" Stealth barreled AR. Trying for a more accurate rifle than I've done in the past. I'm leaning for the UBR just for weight consideration.

It's so true. And likely the only reason they're not infinitely more popular. I'm talking function, though. A vast majority of modern, premium, precision rifles have monopod provisions, though, if not a monopod build right in. Think Barrett, AI, Desert Tech... At least the Accushot nests in the cavity of a G1 and G2 PRS pretty well... Bolting a pic rail to an MLOK surface is a step backwards IMHO - at least until (if) someone releases an MLOK native monopod. Perhaps that MLOK section even pops off revealing a pic rail and its just not advertised.

To each their own I suppose! Magpul has established themselves as an industry disruptor... I'd love to see them push this one just a bit further! If anyone could knock it out of the park, its Magpul.

Pretty sure I'm just going to pick up the older PRS stock. I personally think it looks better, and the picatinny rail for the mono pod makes all the sense in the world.

Why they went with the MLOK is beyond me. You're going to have to buy a pic rail, to mount it to the stock, so the monopod can mount to it. How insane is that? Even if they come out with an MLOK monopod, the old picatinny will still be easier and faster to put on/take off.
