  1. I did a recent build and started off with the MOE but it lacks the quick detachable sling swivel of the CTR. I went with the CTR and a second build will also include a CTR

  2. Glad I watched your vid. It's been up for a while and it seems the price of the CTR has come down in price quite a bit thankfully for me. Thanks for the vid.

  3. ATTENTION ALL MAGPUL CTR & MOE OWNERS WHO ARE LOOKING TO PIN YOUR STOCK:

    Zero cost, drill one hole, its that simple. Just remove the roll pin holding the plunger assembly. Remove spring and cross bar. Re-insert plunger into stock attached to buffer tube and position length to where you want to pin. Rotate plunger 90 degrees, to where a pre-drilled hole at bottom of plunger lines up to any side of stocks roll pin hole, re-insert pin and firmly tap the roll pin to hold plunger in place. Flip the stock over and use a 3/32 drill bit inserted into the roll pin hole to drill hole into the other side of the plunger. Once hole is drilled, remove roll pin from other side and tap roll pin into the hole just drilled to pin plunger in place. You're done.Ā 

    Worst case scenario buy a new roll pin (3/32 x 3/4) @ $.50 – $.60.

  4. 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.

  5. Nice job. Quick and simple and explains everything there is to know.
    Isn't it too bad the manufacturers don't do things like this themselves anymore? They just rely on people doing all their advertising for them.
