Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Any thoughts on the Magpul moe RIFLE stock?

same here

What's the weight comparison of the two stocks being compared here?

A.C.E. ARFX 10.9 oz
Magpul M.O.E. 14.0 oz and you can feel it.

I picked a MOE yesterday and these are my initial impressions and comparison. The Magpul stock is heavier and you can tell the difference in hand and installed on the rifle. The ACE ARFX buttpad has less of an angle in relation to the bore which feels a lot more comfortable. The Magul MOE stock has a shorter LOP which is OK after the optics were moved foward to compensate for it. The Magpul MOE wins hands down in the looks dept and the ACE ARFX wins hands down in shooter comfort. I actually prefer the longer LOP the ARFX offers but I can live with either.

A.C.E. LTD ARFX

Do any of you using the Magpul rifle stock feel that it brings anything significant to the table, compared to the standard A2 rifle stock?

Just curious. I dabbled with the Magpul MOE collapsible stock, but after a while I've migrated back to the regular A2, 20" bbls, and rifle gas/buffer systems. I think the the govt might have been onto something there....grin

Initial impressions, no. That said an A2 isn't any better either, price or function.

Thanks. That's kind of what I was thinking just looking at the Magpul rifle stock.

I had my A2's in my AR 'extra parts box', so I just brought them back out and remounted them.

The biggest advantage is in the field shooting from prone. The extra material at the toe helps if you shoot with the stock on your support hand.



One other advantage is the sling loop that is molded in to the stock. If you run a 2 point it works pretty well and you can skip any extra hardware. There are also 2 molded in recesses that allow a QD cup to be attached if you prefer that type of mount.

The A2's were too long for me, NTCH shooter, I wish they made a stronger A1 stock. It would be nice to add a 20" rifle to the mix...

Thanks John, those are good features.

Well I just sold a CTR to fund one of these bad boys for my .308. I like the looks of the features better than a A2. QD sling cups, flat surface for bag to ride on, decent cheek weld, new trap door design.... Looks much better than the A2 on paper.

The A1 stocks were good, why they changed to the A2 length is beyond me.

I have two of the ACE ARFX, I like them, though I'm not sure how well they would hold up outside of occasional hunting.

I did order one of these MOE's today to take a look at it.

When setting up my AR I specifically wanted a fixed stock. I liked the ACE but chose the MOE for its shorter length of pull. I like how it fits me and the storage compartment is handy to have.
