Ok i tried to find this topic throughout the whole website but i'm getting ready to order all my parts in at bravo company you know my troy flip up sight my magpul handguard the magazines.... But then comes the conflict i see the moe stock and the ctr magpul stock and a 40$ difference  well i just wanted everyone opinions on if i should spend the extra 40 on the ctr or go with the moe if there is a big difference in the two or not

| Then spend the $40. If you are going from a standard model, you aren't gaining much with the MOE aside from looks. Atleast the CTR has the added benefit of feeling solid and if I recall the MOE doesn't have QD sockets for sling mounts where the CTR does (don't quote me on this, I don't own one). |

The only difference is that the MOE stock doesn't have the friction lock or the QD socket like the CRT does. I have both and they both serve there purpose. CRT is probably the way to go if you want to go with the tacticool look and features. I was going to go with the MOE as the friction lock didn't mean much to me. Then I realized that I would need to spend another $35 on a sling mount for the MOE stock and all of the sudden the decision was made for me. I have been buying CTR's. |

My 3 MOE's do not have "slop" It's so little movement you don't know it when firing.
Is $40 worth no "slop" & a QD swivel mount? Only differences. Then I realized that I would need to spend another $35 on a sling mount for the MOE stock
Why? My slings mount to the sling loop built into the stock? |

I have the MOE stock... they dont have the mounts Right now the MOE stock doesn't have the QD sling mount but not for long, Impact Weapons Components will soon maybe in about 20 days will have QD rotation limited sling MOUNT-N-SLOT for the MOE, more info on their site in May 5th. I've got both CTR and MOE stocks, for my MOE I didn't need a QD sling mount because I'm using a single point sling mounted on my DD burnsed receiver end plate, also my MOE fits pretty snug on my BCM buffer tube with only a tiny slow movement (YMMV) but no movement at all in the firing position. The great thing about the soon to be released IWC rotation limited QD sling mount for the MOE is if I ever change my sling to a 2 point I could just get that QD mount, also the limited rotation feature prevents the sling from twisting and tangling.

If you plan to run a single point sling I can see no downside to the MOE. Like I said before, the sling mount sold it for me. Corey |

I disagree with your statement that buying the IWC QD mount would be more money than a CTR, if we just figure the suggested retail prices adding the noted QD mount, it would be about $7 cheaper than a CTR. Another cheaper way to go with the MOE with a QD sling mount is using a Noveske QD sling mount end plate that would be about $13 less than a CTR. Some guys don't like the friction lock of the CTR, but some of them would like a QD sling mount, pretty soon they'll have a choice which QD sling mount they want which is a good thing, more choices is better. |
christmas came early 
| Depends on your preferences; my MOE is on a Milspec tube. It has very little slop, I don't use the stock QD point, prefer an endplate QD mount...and got it from the start (not as an upgrade from a standard). It does lock up tighter, have better cheek weld and butt pad, than standard (plus choice of colors). |

If you are only needing 1 stock for 1 gun, I don't see the big deal in getting the CTR.
It's only $40 and the stock does feel better to me with the lock on. I know the old arguement about that money could be spent elsewhere, however I say get the best offered now and you will have no regret in the future for having a product you are not happy with. Get the CTR. |

Good accessory if your rifle comes with the MOE. I'd just spend the extra on the CTR if I didn't already have a MOE |
The MOE/CTR are pretty flexible for most applications that I could think of, but I'm curious to know why nobody is asking if the MOE/CTR are the right stocks to be looking at in the first place.... If OP is putting this on an A4, Mk12, SPR, etc, we are going to feel a bit silly.
OP. What is your setup? If you have a front-heavy rifle, either the MOE or CTR are not the best choice. These are best on lightweight and really short guns. I learned that the hard way. How do you shoot? what do you have on it already? Plans? |
