Choosing a Magpul CTR Stock

Undoubtedly, the Magpul was one of the first to put along with innovative designs a touch of aesthetics and stylish elements in the world of tactical equipment. The idea of "tactical chic" is perhaps best reflected in a Magpul stock such as UBR, STR, or CTR. The subject of this review CTR stands for Compact/ Type Restricted stock and is intended for compact applications such as shorty rifles, carbines, and PDW weapons. However, the Magpul CTR is a lightweight stock and doesn't balance out front-heavy rifles well. On the other hand, the Magpul CTR's is entirely satisfactory on short-barreled rifles such as 14.5" M4's or some lightweight or government profile 16" mid-length barrels.

It should be noticed that AR15 could utilize stocks with a smaller mil-spec buffer tube or a commercial buffer tube. The differences between the mil-spec collapsible stock and the commercial collapsible stock are small but crucial. These stocks are not interchangeable, and one should change out the buffer, tube, and spring. According to that, the future owner of CTR stock has to keep in mind that there are two original sizes of M4 Carbine receiver extensions (buffer tubes): mil-spec as well as commercial-spec.

Well known for quality products, Magpul manufacture CTR stock of the high-quality materials making it a lot stronger over the mil-spec M4 stock. Usually, the quality goes with added weight, so the CTR with 0.55 lb. It is, of course, more substantial than a standard stock but also without the awkward feeling of service carbine stock. The streamlined A-frame profile avoids snagging and secures the launch latch to prevent accidental release.

Since the Magpul points out that CTR Stock is a drop-in replacement, the install is a snap, and a second-best feature is a "friction lock" option canceling the bit of play that is evident with an M4 stock. Although the cheek weld is just about the same as any other collapsible stock, due to sloping geometry and a little extra material up top, this cheek weld is better than the standard M4 stock enabling more convenient usage. Furthermore, the side mounting slots can take optional comfortable cheek risers for NON-AR15/M16 applications.

The Mil-Spec Model includes a standard, removable 0.30" rubber butt-pad while the commercial model comes equipped with an extended 0.55" rubber butt-pad to provide positive shoulder support and accommodates longer slant-back extension tubes. It is compatible with lots of Magpul receiver-mount sling attachments and also has the option to use the ambidextrous push-button QD sling mounts.

After years of utilizing AR platforms guns, many experienced users concluded that it is all about a game of matching the right part with the right weapon. Changing one accessory with another can severely alter how the gun feels and balances. So the primary goal is to select accessories that complement each other so that the owner ends up with a well-balanced carbine that doesn't feel like a boat anchor.

What people are saying about he Magpul CTR Stock:

Excellent Replacement AR Stock

I recently purchased a Sig Sauer AR-15 M400 Enhanced Tactical Rifle. The stock wobbled and was unstable. After extensive research, I purchased the Magpul CTR Stock. Great price. The most common question was: was the tube MIL-SPEC (Military Specification) or Commercial. If you own a Sig Sauer AR-15 M400, your weapon IS MIL-SPEC. The product installed easily and drastically minimized the wobble, BUT, the stock wobbled slightly. By utilizing the "Friction Lock" accessory, at least on my AR-15, the wobble was completely eliminated. The QD (quick detachable) sling mount accepts the Magpul push-button QD sling swivel. Overall I and extremely pleased... with Magpul.

Solid Stock!

This Magpul CTR stock is solid. It fits my S&W MP15 perfectly. There is no play in the stock whatsoever. This, in part, to their friction lock design. I only wish there was a swivel available for the bottom of the stock. I will get used to the side mount. I cannot believe how fast the shipping was! I shouldn't be surprised.

Great Stock!

I bought this Magpul CTR as a replacement for the wobbly M4 Carbine stock that came with my M&P15 Sport. The CTR locks uptight, and the rubber pad keeps the stock from slipping out of the pocket. It also gives me a higher cheek weld, which is A LOT more comfortable on my neck. The CTR is also lighter than the standard M4 carbine stock that came with my M&P15 Sport. I am very happy with my purchase.

The Magpul CTR isa great MOE upgrade

The biggest complaint about standard adjustable stocks on AR's is the "wobble" that they have. More of an annoyance than anything else, unless your a serious target shooter/hunter where it could cause slight accuracy issues. Well, this stock solves the problem perfectly. Best of both worlds - adjustability and solid lock up. No wobble on any of my mil-spec buffer tubes. Great product and a great price. And you can add the cheek riser if you need a better cheek weld.
