Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Magpul STR fit my AR-15's existing buffer tube?
The Magpul STR is designed specifically for mil-spec diameter carbine receiver extension tubes (approximately 1.14" outer diameter). It is not compatible with commercial-spec buffer tubes, which have a slightly larger 1.17" diameter and a different taper. Before purchasing, confirm your lower receiver or existing buffer tube is mil-spec sized — most factory Colt, BCM, Daniel Defense, and similar quality builds use mil-spec tubes by default.
What can I store in the STR's built-in storage tubes?
The two water-resistant storage tubes integrated into the STR's A-frame body are sized to hold standard CR123A batteries, AAA batteries, or small survival/field accessories such as fire starters and cotton. The tubes seal securely to protect contents from moisture, making them particularly useful for backup batteries for weapon lights or optics during extended field use.
How does the STR differ from the Magpul CTR stock?
The Magpul STR and CTR share the same core locking mechanism — including the friction lock and shielded adjustment lever — and deliver the same enhanced cheek weld over a standard mil-spec stock. The key difference is that the STR adds two onboard water-resistant storage tubes, making it slightly larger in profile but significantly more functional for users who need to carry spare batteries or small accessories on the rifle itself. If storage capability isn't a priority, the CTR offers a more streamlined profile at a lower price point.
