Does anyone know what the status of the new Magpul stock models is, in particular the CTR? Also, if anyone has had a chance to finger it, what’s your opinion? Thanks.
I have held them (at Shot) and they are great! Magpul should start shipping the military model in 1-2 weeks. I have a bunch of them on order if interested.

I just don’t see what they offer over a Vltor or Crane slider. I always thought the M93B’s had some unique features, the main one being a better cheek rest that the other sliders. Also, they were tough as nails, and they had the preset so you go from fully closed to extended to your preset position without fiddlling with it. Is this really any different than other offerings?
I think you might be confusing the CTR with UBR. They (Magpul) have never made anything like the CTR before now. It is a cost effective item as it will retail for $97 and give guys with non-milspec receiver extensions the ability to ditch their cheap collapsible stocks. In the past when they wanted to upgrade their stock, they also have had to upgrade their receiver extension as well.
The UBR is the M93B replacement and will compete with the more expensive LMT SOPMOD kit.

UBR
Thank you for clarifying that for my sorry ass.:o
Both of those do double duty as beard pluckers. :mad:
The way the CTR has a friction lock might take out enough rattle that it won’t grab beard hairs… I’m just speculating here since I have never tried one.
Grant, would the UBR be a good choice of an upgrade for my non-milspec OlyArms K3B-A3? When you worked on my rifle you told me the LMT probably wouldn’t fit, (that I should also spend that money on a milspec rifle first…
)
but I’m tired of hearing the rattle of my stock.
(Sorry for the hijack RyanS…
)
You can use the LMTl, but you just have to change out the receiver extension. The UBR also requires you to remove the factory receiver extension.
The CTR comes in two version (non-mil spec and mil-spec) The non-mil spec CTR will work with your existing receiver extension.

Thanks Grant. Could you post some pics when you get them in? I’d like to see how compare visually, and in other ways, side by side to the say the Vltor. My interest is piqued.
Will do!

Mine too!
and thank you. 
I should be receiving a pre-production model this week and have it mounted on my commando for some swat training. I hope it gets here before next weeks swat competition then I can put it to good use.
I got to handle the one at shot show and it was solid so I expect it to be like everything else from Magpul…excellent and well made.
I’ll definitely put a report of the stock with pics and how it holds up to some use.
Ross:cool:
My first post here on M4carbine … Hey Bros’ …
I hope to get my pre-production CTR in a week or so also …ordered it yesterday. Been beggin’ Rich for months cause I figured these pre-production models would get snapped up in a zinute.
I see Magpul possibly assescorizing the CTR down the road by adding some battery tubes on the side where the holes are like a VLTOR …just a thought.
And I finally got YoJimbo beat he had to buy his wife new furniture a few years back but got to build a sweet AR , I had to buy my wife a 2007 Saturn Sky … to get a CTR …oh well LOL
Hey HD! Glad to see you got on!

Since we’re on the subject of Magpul stocks, is there any update on the UBR? Projected release date and price?
Slight hi-jack, but I was wondring if Magpul was invited to M4Carbine.net.
Magpul was invited and they may advertise with us.
Bump.
Grant I’m interested. I haven’t gotten my lower just yet; between the two I’m looking at are they both (DSC and RRA) mil spec?
Can’t wait to see some pics, etc.
The only mil-spec receiver extension being sold with lowers are LMT, Colt, FN and STAG.

I definitely like the looks of that UBR.
