Feedback on Magpul CTR Stock

[BIGSHIVES1]

My wife just bought me a dpms AR for christmas and was looking to upgrade the stock. Anyone have any complaints on the Magpul CTR stock? Does it really take the "wobble" out?

Thanks!

Sure does.

It absolutely does. However, my regular MOE stock doesn't have a ton of movement. So decide if you want to spend the extra $30 to take out a barely noticeable wobble.

I use a CTR stock on my SBR for the longest time. It is a great stock and really does take the wobble out of the stock. However, as it has been said, the MOE stock is much more affordable and I dont notice the difference when im shooting.

Buy a SOPMOD and get it over with

Quick gun porn that illustrates my stock choice.

I've got CTR's on 3 rifles and a UBR. I prefer the CTR to any other stock I've had an opportunity to try (I think I've tried them all).

IMHO I don't think it's worth the extra $$. I have a few of these:
Vltor Carbine Modstock Basic Kit
They're rock solid, have a great cheek weld, have a little bit of storage, QD sling point, and since they're a discontinued model you cant beat the price!

gotta agree with phylodog above....I have had ctr's on all of my AR's and love em. They are very nice for the price, especially if you find em used on AR15.com. I wouldnt use any other stock unless it was a heavier rifle, then might explore other avenues.

LOVE my CTR. You can't go wrong!

Yes it does.

I was skeptical at first, until I got one. All of my AR's, except my 12.5" SBR, wear a CTR stock.

Much better that the Vltor stock and worth the extra money.

Just make sure you get the right version for what ever RE tube you have. They are called "commercial" or "milspec"

Good point. It's frustrating to buy a commercial stock, to find out you need a Milspec.

The CTR's recently price dropped, so be aware they should be about $80 now. Some shops/web sites have not dropped their price as yet though.

CTR® - Compact/Type Restricted

I recently picked one up at Bradis as I wanted the integrated QD sling mount.

It seems to have removed the wobble when the friction lock is engaged.

 

[mrfjones]

Gotta buy another soon.

 

[OneBadV8]

I'll echo another

I put a MOE on my Shotgun and have a CTR on my AR.. there is a HUGE difference. When the CTR is locked its more like a fixed stock as far as how rigid it is. The MOE still wobbles

 

[esrice]

I prefer the CTR for short/light guns.

Not only is the friction lock an enhancement over the MOE, but it also has a built-in QD sling mount that I prefer.

Another option is the Colt Super-Stock. IMHO, it locks up tighter than the Magpul CTR.

I think you are right. That lock is crazy.

The OP buffer tube should be a Commecial Spec. Especially if it's a Factory DPMS carbine. It's the same thing I have and the CTR is a great addition !
The guys at Bradis hooked me up with one the had in stock. Even put it on my carbine so I could shoulder it and see how it felt before I layed down the $

That's a Rogers Super stock and it's now standard on Colt guns. [strike] I'd like to find one in FDE.[/strike] OK, I saw they had these back in stock in FDE so ordered one. Night Vision Goggles, Night Vision Binoculars, Night Vision Scopes and Monoculars | Nightvision4less
