Magpul MOE vs CTR Stock: Detailed Comparison

In this video, I'lll be doing a detailed comparison between the Magpul MOE and CTR Stock. Both stocks are popular choices among firearm enthusiasts, but which one is right for you? I will be looking at the design, features, and performance of each stock to help you make an informed decision. The Magpul MOE stock is known for its lightweight and minimalist design, making it a great option for those looking to keep their rifle as light as possible. On the other hand, the CTR Stock offers a more robust design with additional features such as a friction lock system for a secure fit. Stay tuned for our comprehensive comparison of the Magpul MOE vs CTR Stock! Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more videos on firearm accessories and gear.

My MOE stock used to wobble. I removed the butt stock and put a 3 inch strip of adhesive Velcro (the soft side) on top of the buffer tube, slid the butt stock back on over the Velcro and now there is absolutely no wobble. It works perfect.

This is a great video, thanks. I went with the MOE in the end. I couldn't justify the extra $20 - $25 for a friction lock. Instead I just put a centimeter square of loop side Velcro inside my MOE butstock and this removes all wobble. It makes the stock nice and solid and doesn't impede use at all.

So, after mining DEEP down into the internet to find means to mount a sling to my MOE stock, and spending $50 on a bolt-on device and QD swivel, I learned that I could have saved $50 plus a bit of weight had I only stared at those slots in the stock long enough to figure out that I could have looped my sling through them. (Wiping pie off face.)GREAT video, thanks for sharing, especially with us AR newbies!!!

It’s crazy to me that I’m watching this video in 2024 and you’re talking about two stocks that used to cost $60 and $80 new when it was 11 years ago but now they cost less (around $40 and $60, respectively)-and at a time when literally everything else costs WAY more due to record inflation right now. If only everything could be dropping in price like that! 😆

As someone who was comparing the two for upgrading my rifle, here's a little something else to consider. Attaching a swivel mount to the MOE buttstock for a sling will run you an additional $20. Might as well pay that towards the CTR, to get the mount AND the friction lock.

I picked up a Magpul Moe today for $23 to replace stock that came with new frontier lower. Disappointed is an understatement! 2.2 ounces heavier, harder on the digits to install and it was so sloppy of a fit I removed it and went back to the one that came with new armory complete lower at a price point of $150ish. My ar 15 build cost with 7 full Magpul Mags (Love them), Ar stoner upper .556 (caught sale at midwayusa for $280 , utg rear carry handle sight (came with lower less buffer tube, rear pin for $50) and utg 3-12x44 compact scope (new at cheaper than dirt for $99 I got mine used on ebay for $71) for a total build and fill cost of around $640! USA! USA! :))) Great vid, the new version would be much nicer fit. Thanks for the Video.

Very good video, good lighting, great sound (I hate when people take the time to make an otherwise excellent video and you can't hear it even on max volume. For some reason that issue is rampant on KZfaq). I have the MOE on my 5.56 AR's and on my 6.5 Grendel and they are a bit wobbly but it sort of depends on my mood as to whether it annoys me at the moment. I have the CTR on my .50 Beowulf because the stock feels more "solid" than the MOE or factory stocks. I was a little concerned about how it would hold up to the recoil but so far (about 60 -80 shots) I've not had a problem. I'm considering putting a CTR on my 6.5 Grendel since it's more of a precision rifle and the CTR fills the bill without the more expensive PRS styles. Well made video with relevant subject matter, thanks! To those saying it doesn't matter because no "operator" is going to care in a firefight...this isn't Afghanistan, most people buying these are recreational shooters......mall ninjas *Sheesh*

@mg-7047 7 жыл бұрын

Nice, to the point vid! Your CTR seems a lot tighter than the one I had (and before anyone comments, it was for the correct tube diameter). Have owned both, and both wobbled, the CTR perhaps a little less than the MOE, but not enough to make a difference. Sold the CTR, kept the MOE. I don't use the QD swivel stud. The standard M4 stock wobbles even more than the MOE. They both feel a lot more solid than the standard M4 buttstock, in addition to coming standard with a rubber buttpad which is great for keeping the rifle from sliding when leaned up against something.

@SnareMan 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks. Yea, I'm not sure what is up with all of the various wobbles on different stocks. In the end it probably doesn't make a huge difference I suppose.

I have exactly both as well and the CTR fits tighter than the MOE even when the clamp isn't engaged. Which makes me feel that there is more contact area between the tube and stock and that could be the difference that counts when you need to smash something with it.

Clear, knowledgeable speaking; No camera wobble, or constantly moving the camera around, trying to focus while attempting to hold the viewers attention. It's almost as if you knew exactly what information you wanted to convey to your audience and got right to it! Nicely done. It's really difficult, personally speaking, to watch what is supposed to be an informative video when the camera is constantly trying to focus because the camera is always moving around. Not that I don't appreciate other's attempts, but your review was superior to others for these reasons. Thank you.

It can only rotate maybe 180 degrees until a part of the swivel hits the cheek weld upper part of the stock,. Can anyone help? I would appreciate it!

I have an M&P15 and the M&P15-22. The 22 has a very very slight amount of wobble, just barely enough to be noticed. The 5.56 variant, however, has wobble equal to that shown in the video. Also, slings can easily be attached in the MOE (Non-CTR) stock, the swivel compatibility is just luxury. So IMO, the MOE stock is your best choice.
