Magpul Ubr
M4 Carbine Stocks
Many manufacturers offer stocks for ARs. The AR is the most versatile weapon system ever created and the range of stocks available reinforces that versatility. One manufacturer that offers a comprehensive range of AR stocks is Magpul. Magpul have always emphasised advanced polymer technology in the construction of their shooting accessories, this material being resistant to chemicals, corrosion, scuffing and impact and being kinder on bare skin in very cold and very hot climates when molded over an aluminium frame. It is also easy to colour in production and Magpul offer their products in four different colours, black, dark earth, OD green and forest green. Magpul stocks have found their way into the US military in large numbers as private purchases and they have proven extremely popular with sports shooters, law enforcement officers and private security contractors. Magpul make them in two versions to fit either military or civilian diameter buffer tubes.
The Magpul MOE stock (Magpul Original Equipment) is their baseline model and is very inexpensive. As such, it includes fewer options than the more expensive units. Sling options for example are limited to four slots in the cheekpiece and a hole in the toe of the butt for a clip on or paracord sling. Magpul’s main strength is original, practical design and Magpul stocks are prevented from telescoping unintentionally by placing the release catch in a protected position under the cheekpiece. An extra power lock mechanism uses a premium chrome-silicon spring to prevent collapse under recoil or vibration and a soft, synthetic rubber buttplate prevents it from slipping from the firer’s shoulder. This is an entry level stock and one suited to a budget AR or other weapons like SMGs and shotguns.
The Magpul CTR stock (Compact/Type Restricted) is their top of the range conventional infantry rifle/carbine stock. It is really the ultimate practical battle rifle stock before you get into DMR territory. Magpul took the step of beefing up their locking mechansism to become self-tightening once set, resisting any tendency to wobble. A wider comb gives a much better cheekweld than the USGI carbine stock. Risers are available to raise the comb, but these can only be used with the stock fully extended as they would otherwise foul the charging handle. Three depths of butt pad are manufactured with the 0.30″ supplied with the military and a 0.55″ with the commercial version – 0.70″ is the deepest offered. There is an additional sling option in the form of a QD swivel mount which accepts swivels of up to 1.5″ width.
The Magpul UBR stock (Utility Battle Rifle) goes a step beyond what you would expect from a normal combat rifle stock. This stock offers no less than seven positions with the facility to choose a favourite pre-selected position by locating a machine screw. The cheekpiece is fixed and the stock moves fore and aft, meaning that the cheek weld should be absolutely consistent. This unit offers two additional sling swivel mounts which you can place on either side of the stock. These can be replaced with ambidextrous versions for an additional price. An aluminium strike plate with sling loop can also be purchased. Magpul thoughtfully supply a storage compartment in the A-frame, but this can be removed to revert to the ‘skeleton’ look. As before, you can fit various thickness butt pads. This stock does have the disadvantage that, to be fitted on a fixed stock A1 or A2 rifle a replacement M4 carbine buffer and spring must be fitted. It is unlikely that military personnel other than special forces would be allowed to do this, hence the rarity of this stock in photos coming out of Afghanistan.
