AR15 Stocks

[UKYankee]

Hi all,

Just wanted some thoughts on good stocks for a .223 AR15. Quite like the Magpul UBR but also quite taken with the STR & CTR. Will be using my AR for basic target shooting and civilian service rifle. Any thoughts / experiances with these or any other stocks will be appreciated.

I've got a FAB Defence (http://www.full-bore.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=10237) and a Magpul SRS (http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG307/181). Both are pretty good although not collapsible.

I put a CTR on my S&W15-22 a year ago. Tough, light and locks up well, but found that I needed to add the Magpul low riser to give a decent cheek weld. Recently put an STR on my SGC 9mm and the extra width gives a much better cheek weld (also handy for keeping 123 batteries for the Eotech!). Both of these are on mil-spec tubes.

If going for a new stock from scratch (and you still want something relatively lightweight and collapsible), I'd personally pick the STR.

The UBR is excellent - highly recommended

Thanks for the replies. Do like the UBR but it seems a bit pricey and is out stock everywhere I've looked.

Wait for the UBR, you won't be disappointed...

Everything made by Magpul is likely to be out of stock for the next year or so :roll:

ya fink? everything....

MOST of the MagBullCrap they bring in is the PTS variant anyway - yet most of it still fits the normal guns !!

Sorry for the thread hijack but a quick question.

Does the recoil buffer in a straight pull AR15 have any purpose? I'd guess not since the bolt does not recoil?
