| I am considering buying a UBR. I have a Vltor Emod and an Ace Socom on my shtf guns now. I am thinking about switching the Emod to my 9mm and going with a UBR on the main go to gun. It seems to me the mechanism would wear out on the UBR after a lot of use. Any input would be appreciated. |

Do you think it would be less durable than a CTS or MOE?
UBR™ Collapsible Buttstock The Magpul® UBR™ (Utility / Battle Rifle), U.S. Patent 6651371, is a fully-featured, adjustable butt stock for the AR15 / M16. Unlike typical collapsing stocks, this modular design offers the stability of a fixed stock with consistent cheek weld in any position. Seven-position length-of-pull (LOP) adjustment is quickly executed with gross motor movement while the integral preset system allows direct access to a preferred position. A robust lock mechanism and multi-shell construction increase durability under severe impact conditions experienced during malfunction clearing and accommodates large-bore AR calibers. The UBR™ also provides extra counterbalance weight to improve handling on full-length rifles and weapons with muzzle-heavy accessories or grenade launchers. Optional components such as dual-side sling mounts and metal strike plate allow the UBR™ to adapt to the mission at hand. Note: The UBR™ includes the necessary Entry Receiver Extension tube and all mounting hardware. An M4 Carbine Buffer and Spring are required for use with the UBR™ and are not included. Made in USA Features Ø Mounts on durable Entry Receiver Extension tube (Included) Ø 7-Position LOP adjustability with customizable preset system for fast access to preferred length Ø Multi-shell construction provides solid foundation and shields critical operating parts from penetration damage Ø Solid “fixed stock” lockup in all positions Ø Enhanced lock mechanism w/ impact buffer increases drop strength and shock reduction Ø Repositionable cheek piece accommodates users requiring extra eye-relief Ø Stout construction provides counterbalance weight for improved weapon balance and handling |

My son ran a prototype through an entire tour in Iraq. Lots of in and out of vehicles, helicopters, etc. Plenty of closing and opening of the stock.
It still runs without a single hitch two years later. We actually just shot several hundred rounds with it last weekend. Durability is not an issue.
