Welcome. Where I live, the use of a collapsible stock is off the table unless you register the rig as an AW. It forces me to stick with the plain simple stock. The UBR is an advantage I could use, but so be it... You don't want to know what I think about CA politicians.... There are weight sets available for the UBR models, so you may have to play with ballast for the offhand to be comfortable. |

I have the gen 2. If I were to do it again, I would go with the gen 1. I bought a sling swivel plate, that fits under the buttpad. When I took the buttpad off, I found that the posts that the buttpad screws go into, both had cracks for the entire length. I contacted Magpul, who replaced it. When I got the replacement, it too, had cracked posts. I ended up I used epoxy to repair and hopefully beef up the posts. Doing some reading on US Rifle Team forums, found at least one other person that also found cracked posts on their gen 2. |

I dug the boxes out and yes I see the grip texture under the rubber pad on the Gen 1.  On the Gen 2, I have two different rubber butt pads, the one on it and an optional thicker one. |
