Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the difference between mil-spec and commercial MOE stocks?
A: Mil-spec and commercial refer to buffer tube diameters. Mil-spec is 1.14″, while commercial is 1.17″. The stocks are not interchangeable, so make sure to match your stock to your tube.
Q: Does the MOE stock include a QD sling mount?
A: No. The MOE stock includes standard sling loops, but you’ll need to purchase the Magpul QD Sling Mount Kit Type 1 or 2 to use push-button QD swivels.
Q: How does the MOE compare to the CTR stock?
A: The CTR includes a friction lock that eliminates wobble, whereas the MOE does not. The MOE is more affordable and lighter, making it great for basic or lightweight builds.
Q: Is this stock adjustable?
A: Yes. It features a 6-position length-of-pull adjustment and works with standard AR buffer systems.
