Magpul ACS vs. CTR?

[j. villarreal]

Does anyone have any experience with both the Magpul ACS and CTR? Would you recommend one over the other? Thanks!

As far as I know they are the same design with the only real difference being the storage compartments on the ACS (which may provide a wider cheek weld). If you want a cheek weld and a storage compartment go with the ACS, if not, CTR.

Don't have either (yet) so I have nothing more than that, but I know that they both have the same locking device on them to tighten the stock onto the buffer tube and keep it from wobbling.

I think the ACS is a little longer than the CTR, too. I'm curious if that's affected anyone's preference.

given that i've only compared the 2 side by side before buying, i chose the CTR, what i like about it: comfortable on the cheek, comfortable on the shoulder, locks up nice and tight on your desired length (none of that annoying wiggling) it takes the quick detach on the side for the sling, and it looks just plain awesome!

sorry i can't give a great comparison, but i can tell you i don't regret spending the extra on the CTR, i love it

ACS/CTR

I have the CTR on my 9mm SBR I realy like the way it feels/works.
I don't need storage

For an SBR or a lightweight 16" gun I love the CTR. For a RECCE or rifle the ACS is great. Or if you just like the storage and comfy cheek weld.
