Quoted: Very nice. I just have a standard six position, but the Magpul looks interesting and is supposed to be very sturdy.

i've been wanting other opinions on the magpul before i buy one. what do you have to say Old Painless

Well, I will try to be honest.
You never get something for nothing. The Magpul is a little heavier than the typical collapsible stock.
But, you get near infinite variation in length, quick and positive adjustment, and a very sturdy stock.
One problem with wearing armor is that normal stock length is a little long. You can adjust that to suit you with this type of stock. And, unlike a standard collapsible stock, the cheek weld on this one is very comfortable. It doesn't "dig" into your cheek when you use the sights.
Even when I am not wearing armor, I tend to like the stock just a little shorter than normal length-of-pull. It seems to make the rifle more manageable to me, but I am sure that is a personal thing.
Another problem with collapsible stocks occurs if you have a bad jam. At Thunder Ranch, Clint teaches to clear a really bad jam by holding back pressure on the charging handle while banging the butt of the stock on the ground. It will clear a jam like magic.
But with normal collapsible stocks, you can break the stock doing this trick. This one seem tough enough to take that treatment without breaking.
All in all, a very nice stock.
