?MagPul Stocks

The only difference between the MOE and the CTR is that the MOE does not have the lock.

They are both nice stocks, and the MOE is quite a bit cheaper.
 
I've never handled the MOE, so whether I'd like it better or not, I have no idea. That "lock-down" feature is why I bought it, and the MOE wasn't released yet.
 
Aside from the lock, the CTR's fit and feel is, to me, much better than the MOE. I now own the CTR after handling a few and the lock really does make it nice.

I have no experience with the ACS but would like to give one a whirl....probably on a SBR.
 
I own an MOE, and always said on my next build I would go with the CTR, but after handling the MOE for about 6 months now i don't think I can justify the cost difference anymore. My MOE may have a little movement, but compared to my father in laws "standard" looking GI issue stock it has very little rattle.

The only way I think I would buy a CTR now is if I just found a good buy on one.

FWIW I have never handled a CTR, so I have not done a direct comparison.
 
I have a couple MOE's, can't justify the cost of a CTR for just a lock. I don't see any big difference/benefit in a ACS over a MOE.

I really want a UBR, but WOW!!! They're expensive. I just think that the way the UBR pulls out, you won't have that ridge in the middle of your cheek like you get with normal collapsible stocks.
 
The ACS is nice for cheek weild and extra storage. I stow my electronic ear plugs in it and batteries if I think the foxpro is gonna give out on me real soon. The real question is whether you are gonna go with mil-spec or commercial receiver extension tubes? Because I promise, once you buy a magpul stock whether it be MOE,CTR, or any other, you will buy another and another after that. I have two ACS stocks and am looking at buying a UBR very soon. Pick a tube you like and try to stick with it for all your AR's so they dont get mixed up and not fit right. I have all mil-spec tubes, so I buy all my stocks mil-spec. Pretty soon, you will be swappin stocks like women switch purses.
 
You made a good choice with the MOE. I like it becuase it's a little taller than a standard 6-pos stock, plus it has a nice slightly inward curved shape on the back which seems to fit me better.

I have all 3. The MOE and the CTR are very similar, and I'd say the MOE is the better value for most people. The CTR has the lock and an attachment for a QD sling adapter not found on the MOE, but that's about it.

The ACS is a whole different stock. It's triangular shaped side-to-side and has a different cheek weld. Some people like it better, some not. Of course it also offers a bit of storage space, and like the CTR it has a lock. It's also bulkier feeling than the others.
 
ACS is my favorite. I say that having experience with almost all Magpul stocks. I have 4 AR's......one with a CTR, one with ACS, one with a UBR and one with a PRS.
