    I got the new stock. In short I like it a lot better than the PRS Lite. That said the LOP adjustment range is about 1" less than the PRS Lite. (Actually according to Magpul it's 1.1" less at max extension).

    I was going to see if they have spacers for the butt bad but then I saw that it's compatible with some existing lines of stocks. I ordered one of those and it adds 3/8" to the LOP which is within .1" of where I was with the other one. Overall it was a good move.

    I shot a couple of mags from 100 to 300yards which is all the distance I have at the house. 30 rounds total without ear protection.

    The only hiccups I am having now is my bolt seems to be hanging up. I'm fairly certain that I have it isolated to the mag(s) I was using, one of which had never been used before. The springs in them are TIGHT. Getting the last round in was difficult on both. Seating them in the rifle was difficult as well. At least for now my thoughts are to shoot it more and maybe leave the mags loaded to help loosen them up.

    I forgot to mention that I seated my bullets a bit more and that solved that. I guess when I loaded that box of ammo I left them long for some reason.

    As far as the bolt hang up goes without the mag it's ok smooth wise. Not as smooth as my other rifles that I've shot a lot more but it's getting better.

    Overall the rifle actually has a very low round count on it. At the most it has maybe a couple hundred rounds total and that new bolt has less than 50.

    I will load some more ammo for it and put some more miles on it to wear the new off of everything.

    Follow up to the original thread... I did have a small issue. That issue was that loaded magazines would not seat in the gun.

    I think I figured it out -- my buffer spacer that I made was too thick. On paper everything added up correctly but in reality I forgot to account for stuff, not sure exactly what, but I think it's fixed now.

    When I pulled the charging handle all the way back it didn't allow for a full rear travel. Lock back was actually catching on the carrier not where it was supposed to be. As a result the bolt was interfering with the magazine, or rather the ammo in the mags.

    I ground down my buffer shim just enough to allow more rearward travel and now everything is catching where it's supposed to. I will try to do some testing later today, but I'm pretty sure I figured it out.
