If you don't need storage tubes or a few extra ounces to balance the gun - get the CTR over the ACS. Don't overcomplicate this. It's a buttstock, not a sex change.

I'm fond of the CTR.
If not that then a Sopmod. |

For High speed Low Drag, I use the the MOE MAGPUL(Military Spec) Stock on my Spikes Tac M-4 , and I have a commercial CTR MAGPUL on my DPMS/DEL-TON Middy Carbine . I love the MOE it is very KISS and pretty good for using in my truck going into South Central L.A.

Also the cheekweld is negligible over the CTR, that surprised me. The SOPMOD isn't any better, overhyped overpriced piece of plastic. |

ACS isn't that heavy. I like the cheek weld on it.

I have quite a few CTRs and I am very happy with them.
I really don't need any little storage compartments for crap to rattle around in. My life is just a real life, not as much drama as in the movies, so my pants pockets work fine for me. YMMV, Bill |

Carbine length handguard - CTR/MOE.
Midlength handguard or longer - ACS. |

I have 3 CTRs and one ACS. I use the CTRS on a couple of carbines and an SBR and the ACS on one of my recce builds, mainly for balancing the heavier front end

CTR is way better IMO. I got rid of my ACS. I prefer a SOPMOD over the ACS by far. Shit my favorite still might be the old 4 postition fuckers.

Their reason of existence was not lost on me. It's just that in my real life, I don't find myself in such desperate situations. Also, that is just another reason I favor Aimpoints. Bill |

I prefer the ACS for the cheek weld weight. Nothing else to say about it.

I like the ACS on my 10.5 SBR. It has a much nicer cheek weld and balances the rifle better. I keep flashlight batteries in one tube, bore snake in the other and earplugs in the storage compartment. I had a CTR at first but it was too light in the back. I would definitely try both on your own rifle, then make your own decision. Here is pick, I have since added a H-1.

Keep the ACS.
For anything with an 11" barrel or longer the added weight helps. Got a lighter barrel but want lights, cans or fore-grips hanging off the front, the ACS helps with that. My 14.5" balances damn near perfect with the ACS. The storage is nice, but, truth be told, if they made a stock with the ACS side profile (keeping the door) and took off the battery tubes making the comb feel like a MOE or CTR, I would rather have that, provided it kept the extra weight. |

I have both and switch out between them. I use my ACS for precision shooting because of the awesome cheek weld you get with it, and my CTR for 3-gun stuff because of the reduced weight.

They all work. I have a couple PRSs, a few UBRs, and one ACS and CTR.
If I want something a little heavier, I use the PRS or UBR. If I want something lighter, I go with the CTR or ACS. If I think I want a sex change, somebody please point any one of these at my head and pull the trigger and it will do the job just fine. |
