Magpul PRS Lite Review

It’s all gonna depend on the individual and their body size and preference. It’s usable for me in most circumstances, but a little more adjustability would be nice.
I have several of the Magpul PRS Light Stocks which I really do enjoy but I find their adjustments to be a PITA when you're trying to adjust on the fly, and as mentioned above it would be a perfect budget option if it had a shorter minimum LOP of 12.5"-13"
I've found the B5 Precision Socks to accomplish 99% of what I need out of a precision based adjustable stock, but the price of admission is almost double. I run Dark Hour 13 position A5 Receiver Extension on both small and large frame for ultra fine LOP.
My only complaint with the B5 Precision is it doesn't have any built in Comb, I've since found the solution courtesy of XLR.
To make it compatible you'll have ro visit your local Hardware Store and pick up some 1" Head Cap Screws with the proper thread to accommodate the M lock Attachments Nuts.

I posted the pics above to highlight the cheapest price avaliable for the B5 Precision $147.00, I actually found them even cheaper with Holliday Sales and Coupon Codes.
I can't remember where I bought the XLR Bag Riders but I purchased two for under $100.00 with a coupon.
Plus the .89 cents for both the Head Cap Screws, so around $200.00
That's where mine came from..cheapest price ..got here yesterday........3 fucking months after I ordered it. Never again.
There's something else going on with Dak, drop shipping doesn't take months. I ordered from Kygunco, it shipped from Brownells and took about 10 days, a little longer than if I ordered from Brownells directly. Dak, on the other hand, won't even talk to you for 30 days and when you start complaining they mysteriously ship the next day.
Yes, I think people read the online description and buy the medium for fear they wont have enough room for the charging handle.
I always buy the long version and use a Dark Hour 13 position A5 Receiver Extension. Having the capability to precisely adjust my LOP is a outstanding feature.
My LOP is 13.5" so to set my rifles up I lock the Charging Handle to the rear and set my LOP so I have 1/4" gap between the charging handle and cheak riser, this allows me to lock the BCG to the without issue.
This pits my LOP exactly at 13" and any further adjustments can be made with the LOP thumb wheel adjuster. Over time I've found this set up to fit just about anyone.
I have one and really like it. It does have a small amount of wiggle but very minimal. Doesn’t bother me at all. Much lighter than the prs.
Attachments
Lightly buffer the inside of the stock with some 150 Grit Sandpaper them clean with a Contact Cleaner, 99% isopropyl alcohol or Carb Cleaner.
How well does that bag rider work? Is there enough there that it makes a difference?
I just removed a PRS Lite and replaced it with a Magpul DT-PR.
I'm glad I finally got it changed.
For me the main dislike(s) of the PRS Lite are that it left very little clearance for the charging handle. If I wasn't pulling the CH back at the perfect angle it was almost dragging on the top of the stock. It functions but not optimal at all.
Other than that the cumbersome way to adjust everything was fine if you never wanted to change anything, especially on the fly.
The new one gives me a built-in bag rider which is the biggest thing I wanted. I did have to get a new butt pad for the new stock to get the LOP where I wanted it.
Overall I like the new one better.

It does make a huge difference, especially when using a firmer rear bag.
Arisaka is the best deal I found. I bought one for each of my stocks.
