Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Magpul CTR Mil-Spec fit my AR-15's existing buffer tube?
The CTR Mil-Spec model is designed specifically for mil-spec diameter receiver extension tubes (approximately 1.148" outer diameter). It will not fit commercial-spec tubes, which have a slightly larger diameter. If you're unsure which tube you have, measure the outer diameter or check your lower receiver's documentation. Most factory mil-spec and government surplus carbines use mil-spec tubes, making the CTR a straightforward drop-in swap.
What makes the CTR different from a standard mil-spec carbine stock?
Unlike a basic mil-spec stock, the Magpul CTR features a supplemental friction lock that tightens down against the receiver extension tube, virtually eliminating the rattle and play common to standard stocks. It also adds a shielded latch to prevent accidental length-of-pull changes, a QD sling swivel socket, and a removable rubber butt-pad — all while maintaining a low-snag, streamlined profile that standard stocks lack.
Can I use the Magpul CTR with a sling swivel or single-point sling adapter?
Yes. The CTR includes an ambidextrous QD sling mount that accepts any standard push-button QD sling swivel on either side of the stock. For shooters running a single-point sling, a single-point adapter (sold separately) can be attached to the rear sling loop. This makes the CTR highly versatile for a wide range of sling configurations used in tactical, competitive, and field shooting applications.
