Quoted:
STR is my current favorite. The fit was absolute dog shit but a piece of electrical tape on the buffer tube makes it tighter than a kitten's...... Wait, what? http://i1053.photobucket.com/albums/s470/olds442ty/IMAG0159.jpg http://i1053.photobucket.com/albums/s470/olds442ty/IMAG0153.jpg http://i1053.photobucket.com/albums/s470/olds442ty/IMAG0135.jpg What handguard is that? |

Had an MOE and loved it.
Upgraded to a CTR and loved it. Currently on an STR and love it. If I had to pick one - I would say the CTR is the best combination of all of them. I love the STR - it is really comfortable but the CTR is light weight, locks in place easily, just a solid all around nice stock. |

Rainier Arms? . . . pretty sure it's a Samson but not a Rainier Arms edition Samson Evo rail. I personally like the CTR, but plan on picking up a STR fairly soon. I tried the UBR but did not balance with the rifle I had it on. |

Quoted: But what others prefer may not be best for you. For example, I have 5 different types of Magpul stocks which I selected based upon each firearm's role. Quoted: building my first AR-just trying to learn what everyone prefers....Quoted: Why do you ask?What's your favorite stock? Post pics if you have any..... Thanks I don't have a favorite because they're all different and serve different needs.  Please understand that I'm not trying to be difficult but each of Magpul's stock is slightly different than the others. There are pros and cons to each one. |

It's all good thanks for the advice. |

Ive owned the MOE, CTR, and the STR. I've also used the UBR. The MOE had to much wobble, the CTR and the STR had the locking mechanism which was another task to do before you could shoot. And, for a dumb reason, I dont like the looks of the UBR and it does have a good amount of weight.
The LMT SOPMOD is what I run on my rifle. I love this stock. I also had VLTOR IMOD but it will rip off your whiskers because of the design on the cheek weld. The SOPMOD was a little to expensive for my taste, however it is my favorite add-on to my rifle. |
My CTR milspec size with extended buttpad on my Colt 6721 carbine. 
MOE milspec size stock on my 9mm plinker it fits snug on my BCM receiver extension YMMV. You have to decide with the different features, style, cheekweld, sling mount, friction lock, storage, weight, buttpad, front to rear balance, etc, it comes down to personal preference. Here's a good article to help you to decide which stock is the best for you. AR15 Buttstock Considerations - article link |

I don't understand the task of locking the stock before shooting. You find your preferred length, lock it in place and leave it alone. Mine are all stored at the length I prefer. I only adjust them if someone else wants to try it out. |
