Quote History Quoted:
Magpul is several steps down from USGI.
Especially if you look into R&D.

Really, several steps down compared to an M4 waffle? I don’t see that at all. Nothing wrong with the waffle as long as you don’t care about rattle or cheek weld. It works, is “Bubba proof”, but can stand improvement.
While heavy, for my precision Recce, I chose the Magpul ASC because of its excellent cheek weld, solid, rattle free locking and the balance it’s extra weight provided for my nose-heavy Recce profile 16” barrel.
The STR is the same cheek weld, but a couple ounces lighter.
The CTR is hugely popular for good reason for its light weight and solid lockup. Cheek risers In several heights are available for it.
Magpul stocks are just as “Bubba proof” and offer a wide range of beneficial choices.
When the end user is given a choice, chances are high the waffle will get ditched in favor of something else.
