Magpul PRS Gen 3 adjustable stock alternative?

[Mr.H]

I'm in the market for an adjustable AR style stock like the one mentioned in the title. The Magpul has the features I want (ability to lower the buttpad) but its over 30 ounces and around $250 bucks. I've heard the Luth-AR stocks are junk.

So, looking for other opinions/options.

TIA

I am considering a Magpul PRS Lite. Half the price and can be used as a bag rider.

I like that model, too. But the butt pad does not adjust.

The b5 one is nice

The butt pad is fixed on the B5. I'm looking for an adjustable butt pad, one that I can slide down.

The Magpul PRS Lite recoil pad is adjustable but the only problem is that it can only be adjusted up and not down. I wish they would change this in the next revision. I have both the Magpul PRS Gen 3 and the PRS Lite. I also have the Luth-AR MBA-3 Carbine Buttstock. While the Magpul PRS Gen 3 and PRS Lite are better quality, I wouldn't call the Luth-AR MBA-3 Carbine Buttstock junk. It has some advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it is quick and easy to adjust. I just wish it came with a QD sling cup.

Ah man. I thought it was adjustable. Maybe the lmt dmr?

Hi Peskådot671, congratulations on those airguns! I would like to ask you a question. Please could you tell me the LOP of both the EVOL .30 with the MAGPUL PRS Gen 3 stock and the EVOL Mini .22 with the MAGPUL PRS Lite stock in their shorter configurations? Thank you very much

Best regards

The PRS Lite is pretty dope. I have been running one on my S510 for over a year and have no complaints.

I have a Luth-AR as well (not sure what model but it is fully adjustable). It is not a robust as the Magpul but I definitely wouldn't categorize it is "junk". All of the adjustments can lock down by tightening grub screws so it feels very sturdy when everything is all set up. I wish it was heavier like the Magpul.

I would look for a used Magpul Gen 3/B5 stock if that's what you really want. I guarantee you can probably find one on Facebook or another forum. I bought my Luth used for $25 in a bin at a local gun shop.

Thanks for bring this back up. I ended up getting the Luth AR MBA-3. It's ok, although I haven't put it thru and hard paces, yet. The butt pad does slide down is the primary reason I bought it. I've owned other Magpul stocks, I think they are better quality than that of the MBA-3.
