Lightweight Fixed Stock, Black

Most Helpful Review

"It doesn't deserve 5 stars, but it's a solid 4.5.I’ve handled Magpul CTR stocks enough times to know the feel and I have one on one of my AR builds. I picked up this Chinese clone because it was half to a third of the price and it matches the look and function of the CTR. Out of the box it fit my buffer tube fine and installs the exact same way. While shooting I honestly could not tell the difference in performance. It locks up solid, cheek weld and length of pull feel the same, and it does everything I expect a CTR to do.The only clear drop in quality is the plastic. It feels a bit cheaper than Magpul, but that should be expected. The texture is different and the polymer is not quite as dense. Functionally it behaves the same, but when you run your hand over it you can tell it is not the same grade of material. That said, unless you are abusing the stock or running a hard-use duty rifle, that difference is mostly cosmetic.Fit and finish were surprisingly good for the price. The sling mount and adjustment lever functioned without binding. The locking mechanism is firm and the stock does not wiggle. I did not notice any wobble or weird gaps on my receiver extension. Weight is nearly identical to the original--a little lighter, but it did not noticeably change the balance of the rifle.Durability is the usual caveat. I would not toss this stock off a roof or subject it to sustained hard use in extreme environments and expect it to match Magpul's durability. But for range use, trucks, hunting trips, and general carry it should be fine. Treat your firearm with care and you will probably never notice the cheaper polymer. If you plan to run the rifle hard every day in a professional context, stick with genuine Magpul. Otherwise this clone is a solid bargain.Value for money is where this thing shines. If you want the CTR look and function without paying full price, this is a great option. It gives you the ergonomics and functionality of a CTR at a fraction of the cost. For casual shooters, hobbyists, and anyone on a budget, it is hard to beat.Bottom line: it is not a Magpul, but it does the same job for a lot less money. If you are not putting your rifle into a combat zone and you take basic care of your gear, this clone is a very practical buy."
