I posted this in reply to some threads but thought it was worthy of it's own. As stated before the M93 is being discontinued in favor of two new stocks (here is a sneek peek).
CTR – Compact/ Type Restricted Stock– Basic stock used for compact applications such as shorty/PDW weapons and rifles for units that restrict removal of the buffer tube. This stock features a unique locking mech that friction locks the stock to the buffer tube for zero movement but can be released just as easily as unlatching a normal CAR type stock. The CTR includes improved cheekweld area, integrated QD sling mount and rubber butt pad. Molds are open for the CTR and first runs from the mold should be ready by Mid-January and we will have quantity in stock by Shot Show. Retail Price will be around $95 without buffer tube. Here are some pics of the prototype.    UBR – Universal Battle Rifle Stock – A robust multi position stock that can be used as a heavy duty collapsible field stock and a limited use precision stock. Designed to be adapted to other platforms other than the M16/M4/AR15 series. This stock is designed to be the M93 replacement. The design for the mechanism is complete and we starting on the styling of the body unit right now. No pictures yet as everything is still fluid. This stock will have a simple, mechanical recoil management system (primarly used for shotgun or 308 units). We should have a limited number of working prototypes ready for the Shot Show and production should be around end of April. |

It looks like the stock that they use on the guns from south park lol. But I like it, one question though. What happens to the people needing replacement parts and accessory for the M93 (Strike plate etc.)? |

He did say they are releasing two new stocks:
CTR – Compact/ Type Restricted Stock UBR – Universal Battle Rifle Stock It just looks like only pictures of the CTR are posted. Also the UBR is going to be replacing the M93 (if I understand correctly) meaning the CTR is a brand new product in its own right. |

I think this would be a great stock for the price point but the M93B should be kept IMO.

I've seen a lot of M4s, but I've never seen one of the Magpul stocks, nor tried one out. But that stock looks like it would be interesting to try out.

Infinite adjustment, better cheek-stock weld, streamlined and with minimal bulk make that pretty close to perfection from what I can see. Making one that will fit the non-spec tubes will go a long way towards the crowd that is unable or unwilling to change their buffer tubes.
No question, Its a winner. |

My question is this, and maybe I'm just stupid.
You mention that the UBR will be multi-position, but there is no mention of that with the CTR. Is it all or none (fully collapsed or fully extended) or is it possible to have infinte adjustments with the "friction lock" you speak of? Other than that question, I agree with Stick. |

I KNEW it...that I should hold off on a stock purchase until I saw the new magpuls...Damn but I love being right! I'll take the one in the photo, but hopefully by the time my upper arrives in Late Feb/Early March They'll have pics of the other one and I'll know for sure. That is a FINE looking product.
Nice work Y'all!

Rich,
Are there going to be any hardpoints on these to accomodate othter sling mount options, like QD swivels? What a great idea. The CTR takes over the slide on, no mods, .mil market, and the UBR the rest. I love my 93B, so I can't wait to see the UBR. |

Hey Rich,
Someone on another forum suggested you incorporate battery storage into the lower strut, with access through the toe of the stock. That way you'd add storage without adding bulk. I don't know if that's possible or not, but it sounded good at the time.....

Lancelot, You beat me here. Here is my suggestion from the other board.

The battery compartment idea is about done to death. Between VFG/ Pistol grip/ stock, how many batteries do people need?
If there is that large of a demand for battery storage on a stock, I hope it comes as an optional piece or add on. I have no doubt that Lancelot is correct in the idea that many people now feel a battery compartment is their birthright, and expect it on everything, but I really don't see it as imperative. |

What are the two longitudinal slots on the cheekpad area for?
Looks like a Colt ACR stock with hollowed out triangular "web" and relocated release and well thought out features, bravo! What does friction locking mean? Does it still use the already-drilled 4 or 5 holes on the buffer, or can it be locked anywhere along the lenght of the stock regardless of the locations of these holes? I removed all the batteries stored in my Magpul MIAD grip, TD foregrip and LMT SOPMOD stock to make my rifle lighter. All said, I took out NINE batteries. I have reasons to store batteries for my Surefire and PVS14, but I fell into the "I did because I could" mentality and filled all the storage spaces, because they were there

I have to agree with Stickman on this one. It's about as perfect as your gonna get. As far as battery compartments, why you would want to add weight to your rifle at all is beyond me. Optics and lights can be a must for certain situations, but when you start putting mounts for your spit cup and rings to hang your cowboy hat on, your just getting a little too John Wayne for me.
They make extra pockets on tactical gear for things like your batteries. I'm still waiting for pouches to be made for vertical grips and weapon lights so they can be taken off during the day or when not needed, but right there for when you need them... |

I bought 2 of them to have when they run out. This replacement is no different than the others that do not provide a good cheekweld. |

I haven't even seen a picture of the 93 replacement, where did you see it, and how did it feel regarding the cheek to stockweld? |

The enclosed release lever is quite possibly one of the best ideas I've seen on a collapsible stock.
For under $100, I'd say you've got a super big hit! My wallet will be waiting. Also, is the butt pad the same shape as the one on the PRS? I'm probably wrong but it looks pretty similar, which would be another plus in my book. Very cool guys!!! |
