    Gotta have the comb far back enough to allow it. Can't say I blame the OP for wanting to switch, the PRS Gen1 is pretty damn heavy... nearly 10oz more than the LUTH-AR.

    Kind of pointless, since your cheek is close enough to the action to require you lift your head to run the charging handle.

    That's a good point. I have a 6.5 Grendel that shares a lower with an A2 stock. I am now building a dedicated lower for the 6.5 Grendel. I want to be able to adjust the stock so I have perfect alignment with the scope. So an adjustable butt stock is one option I am considering.

    Looking at the You Tube vids looks like it will not interfere with the CM. This is for an A2 stock replacement, not for a collapsible carbine type, which is fine by me. I am building a new lower.

    I have both a Luth AR and a Magpul PRS. Both are great but the Magpul is certainly a little heavier. No problems with either one.

    I have three scoped ARs. I have used all three in 3-gun competitions, shots from 5 yards to 500 yards. I have no problem with seeing out of any of the scopes, even quick shots. Just pointing that out :)

    Already ordered it :) Thanks for the suggestion!

    Initial install and use can be confusing, but it is actually relatively simple. I really like my UBR on the rifle. My main requirement for a stock was the rigidity of a fixed stock, with the telescoping capabilities of a carbine stock. I might pick up another UBR in the future for a rifle build, but I'm not sure if I want to go that route yet, due to losing the end plate, for my sling.

    I installed my UBR today. I ended up getting a Geissele Super 42 braided wire buffer and spring combo. The spring is stiff but just as well since this is for a 6.5 Grendel upper.

    Really like the stock!! This is perfect.
