Gimme the skinny on your fixed stocks

[ride4frnt]

I recently decided that with my last pre-ban lower I'll be building a SPR. I'm going with a fixed stock on this, and I have everything to complete the lower besides the stock itself.

The two I have my eyes on are the magpul UBR and PRS. What do you guys with these stocks think about them? Good and bad.

Any other fixed stocks worth looking at?

Thanks guys.

I personally prefer the basic A2 stock , nothing fancy .

I have an A2 and a PRS. A2 is more versatile IMO. The PRS is fantastic, but makes it a stationary gun, again that's my opinion.

Cost wise, obviously PRS is a WHOLE lot more.

What about the magpul rifle stock?

 

[BradMacc82]

Put a PRS on my dad's build, he absolutely loves it. Although I do agree it kind of limits the role the rifle can fill with it on there, at least in my mind it does.

The UBR, one of my favorite stocks when I had one. Strength of a fixed stock, adjustability of a collapsible. Only thing I didn't like was the price.

Have a Vltor sitting in my parts bin (a discontinued model), actually liked that as well. But my dad wanted something that he could get a better cheek-weld with, so off it came for the PRS.

I have a yankee hill fixed stock on my bench ar that I love but would consider trading if you're interested. I thought the 18" barrel would make it way too heavy but its light enough to maneuver with so I want something cheap and adjustable for my needs. Its solid as a rock, let me know if interested. Either way, good luck on your choice.

Also, the ubr is adjustable but I'm a big fan if you decide to go that route. I am for my next build but they are pricey

Damn. I don't know why I thought the UBR was fixed. I guess it's because the top stays stationary. Eliminates that option then. Definitely wanna stay fixed as I've already got the lower built with an a2 extension and buffer/spring. This will basically be a long range precision gun anyways so I'm not worried about the maneuverability of the PRS

if it's for a long-range rig, get an A2 and the lead wedge that goes in the trap door of the stock. kinda hard to beat the bang-for-buck of that combo.

I have an A2 stock at home. Maybe I'll give it a chance. I just don't like the way they look. I know, first world problems. I just wish it wasn't gray on a black gun.

Agreed. Cheap and it works well.

Come to think of it, the only long guns I have with fixed stocks are my Mavvberg and bolt rifles. All my ARs, AK and MP5 have either folding or collapsible stocks. You know, so I can assault people.

Degrease it and hit it with a quality gun paint like DuraCoat or Brownells AlumaHyde.

Magpul fixed carbine stock doesn't look too bad for the price (if you perfer the magpul look to the A2), although I have never handled one personally. Would love to try one though.

A1 stock, then? Those are black.

 

[LineofSight]

Magpuls MOE stock is great also. More spiffy version of the basic fixed stock.

 

[CrawfishStu]

I like my ACE stock a lot.

if only there was some way you could just push a button and a magic spray made it a different color...

I use an Ace Entry (the short skeleton stock one) on my 14.5" carbine build. Means I have to push the sights a little farther down but makes a nice short setup for urban warfare once you add a more vertical pistol grip (I use the Umbrella Corp. one) and a vertical grip on the handguard. Many pros use the long Ace Skeleton one in 3-gun. This lower will be the one for my suppressed SBR if I get around to it (once I leave MD).

 

[armed ferret]

get your trust and paperwork in now and you should be able to get the cutoff beat for sbr's.

VLTOR also has one that resembles a stretched out IMOD called the MODSTOCK. Very light and looks neat too.
