Magpul MOE Stock

[Stickman]

Magpul is releasing their new MOE Stock, and while the release info is up in the new accessories section, this seems like a good place to talk about any pros, cons, or questions you can think of.

Stick, without the friction lock, does it wobble like a standard stock or does it snug up similar to a CTR?

I have had one for a little while, and it is still very tight on the receiver extension (buffer tube).

Commercial or milspec?

I meant to say that I've been using a milspec one for awhile.

I just read your post over there... Thanks!

So would it be safe to say, it's as tight as a CTR without the friction lock engaged?

The one I have is slightly tighter than my CTRs (without the friction lock engaged). I should point out that mine is an early one, and a sample of one at this point. I'm sure they will all be pretty snug, but I don't know if they will all be as snug as mine is.

Just wondering.. is there any advantage of having the MOE over the CTR or the CTR over the MOE? Looks like the MOE doesn't have the friction level like the CTR.

Ryo,


The MOE stock lacks the cam lock, and the QD mount. That may sound like a big deal, but when I look at how I use the CTR on my patrol carbine, I use neither of those features. Then again, I keep the stock in very close, and shoot nose to charging handle (NTCH).

Well I'll probably just sell it anycase. I have a LMT SOPMOD, Magpul UBR (multiple), and Magpul CTR. Thanks for the info.

I'm not so sure that I would be in a rush to take the MOE off and replace it with anything. I do like the SOPMOD stock a great deal, but the CTR form factor seems to bring all of the same advantages into play according to my usage (I don't need battery storage at the rear of the gun), and it would seem that the MOE sacrifices nothing in that department to it's upscale cousin.

I'm looking forward to a bit of personal T&E with the MOE, and if a change is needed, the UBR, forthcoming ACS, and even the CTR itself all seem long on potential. My long-standing preference for the SOPMOD may actually be waning.

I got my Noveske rifle and the MOE butt stock feels just as solid as the CTR. It comes with the rubber buttstock while the CTR I bought, I had to buy it separately. Only thing I see that the CTR over the MOE is the QD push button socket, and the locking mechanism, otherwise it looks exactly the same..

The UBR already pushed my SOPMOD to 2nd place. Debating whether to sell my SOPMOD. SOPMOD was great at the time i got it, but I hated the tubes.. couldn't get to the batteries that easily without disassemble.

for what it's worth. I have 2. One is tight, the other is not. Almost as loose as the standard stock.

Changing stocks accentuates the properties. With one becoming SUPER tight and the other being VERY loose.

When you say one is tight, the other loose, is this being placed on the same tube? Mine also has a little wiggle for the CTR and the MOE.
