What is the difference between moe and ctr stock

No wiggle and ROCK solid. The MOE is a standard carbine stock that you can fit a butt-pad to that offers little to no improvement over a standard M4 stock, other than looking like a CTR and giving you the ability to tell all your range and internet "operator" buddies that you run MagPul gear. The CTR is a lightweight carbine stock that offers a friction lock feature that allows you to "lock" the stock in a particular position, as well as having an integral QD socket so that you can install a QD sling, and while not a huge improvement ergonomically over an M4 stock, it does offer those nice features and improvements.

Quoted: What exactly is the difference? My CTR mil-spec size stock with optional 0. To me, the MOE is fantastic compared to the standard M4 stock. The M4 stock is great for smaller people that don't have a bunch of area for a a large pad.

The MOE is fantastic for large people. My kids love the M4 stock, but I am not saying it's a kid toy. Nice to have the lock, and some say it degrades rapidly.

I have had mine for months with no degradation - Time will tell. The built in QD point to me isn't super usable, because the angle it creates for the sling It just doesn't work for me. If it works for others, super. It is nearly as light, weighing in at less than half a pound, and is the same size and has the same feel.

When you activate the friction lock, it practically eliminates wobble between the stock and receiver extension tube. This has the benefit of minimizing the minute differences in stock position from shot-to-shot that can adversely affect accuracy. The friction lock automatically disengages when you adjust the CTR. The CTR also includes an ambidextrous QD sling swivel cup that allows you to mount your sling near the top rear of the stock.

This position is desirable when using a two-point sling as it improves how the weapon hangs from the shoulder. It also gives adequate adjustment room in the sling for those who prefer their forward-mounting point to be at the rear end of the handguard. For use around vehicles such as an LE patrol rifle capacity or in structures as with civilian home defense , these stocks are ideal. I especially like the compact size for its ease of handling when the user is someone with a smaller build.

For friends and customers who ask for my advice I often start by recommending the MOE stock. For a lightweight bare-bones rifle, my choice is the CTR. I really like the options that QD sling swivel cups provide. No matter what your intended use is for a carbine, Magpul has a stock designed to work for you.
