Have never had a Magpul stock. I am working on an SPR project and need help deciding. Tell me what I want or don't want out of the following and why:  Magpul PRS Magpul CTR with LaRue RISR and LaRue Tactical Pod  Magpul STR THANKS IN ADVANCE |

I have quite a few stocks: PRS, ACS, CTR, MOE, Sopmod, VLTOR (3 different models) A1, A2, std carbine and maybe a few others. Frankly for the majority of applications I like the VLTOR and SOPMOD style stocks - so out of the three you list I would get the STR. Personally the cheekweld is better with these types of stocks and they are easily adjustable for length. I don't use the cheek adjustment on the PRS and I like the cheek weld on the angled stocks better. The CTR really doesn't do much (besides having a QD point) that a standard collapsible stock will do. The RISR's make sense if you have a raised rail portion on your upper receiver like the Larue OBR's. You could alternatively go with slightly shorter rings though. I hope this helps a bit.

an A2 OR A1 STOCK-- DEPENDING ON YOUR LENGTH OF PULL - MEASURE FROM THE INSIDE OF YOUR ELBOW TO THE PAD OF YOUR TRIGGER FINGER that is how long a stock should be for you - in theory...
how high will the scope mount be? Eyerelief of the scope? do you ever plan on mounting a no mag or red dot style scope? Purist will say that no slider stock will work as well as a fixed - they are 90% right but the new stocks lock up very tight. OF YOUR CHOICES THE Magpul PRS is the one I like. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR DOUBLE CHECK TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE MILSPEC OR COMMERCIAL BUFFER TUBE BEFORE YOU BUY. |

Quoted:
MOE Rifle Stock would be my vote. Got to handle one for the first time today and I like it a lot. ETA: Has good cheek weld like the STR, but fixed and would complement an SPR build. I will be putting one on my SPR/DMR build. The fixed MOE rifle stock would be my suggestion. Cheap and fits well with the SPR build not to mention very comfortable. The PRS is a very substantial stock and weighs a lot. If your rifle has a lot of weight out front you could use it to make the rifle balance better. I also found I have a harder time using the collapsable stocks on my more accurate guns - it seems the toe of the stock is typically pointy which I have a harder time stabilizing than the MOE fixed which has a small flat area on the toe. Just my thoughts. But in all honesty, its gonna be a MagPul so it will be awesome! Spooky |
