magpul website product page just got updated to "summer 2021". what a shame. have been really looking forward to this
Thoughts on Magpul PRS Lite?
- Thread starter IowaGeologist
- Start date
I saw the same, I’ve been waiting for one. Finally bought a PRS gen 3 instead.
Yeah...Ive got a rifle class In July I plan to run a build I have earmarked for this stock...was really looking forward to using it in that class. Trying to hold off on it but was thinking about just ordering a UBR instead at this point.
Jimmy had one in our course.
Definitely an improvement, great features, nice upgrade

Dangit...... Well.... Now I gotta buy a cheap temporary stock for my new build... Because I WILL get this stock eventually.
agreed...especially the design being a combo of the UBR and PRS, which were the two stocks I was in between...and sounds like I'm not the only one.
Ive noticed that the new trend amongst facebook gun groups, reddit, and the like is anti-magpul snobbery.
I believe it is rooted entirely in the fact that magpul makes the hobby AFFORDABLE for many, and their model delivers a high quality product for the price.
Magpul stocks are the norm for MANY builders..I think CTR/MOE stocks were some of the best selling ever made for ARs, magpul MBUIS sights are the de facto standard for most flip up backup sights that shooters own, and magpul pmags have become a literal name brand for rifle mags.
Thats just a few that come to mind...but it is notorious now to all of a sudden hate on magpul. In the AK world....zhukov stocks are hated on constantly...once again, I believe strictly due to affordability. You can buy a stock that extends in length, has a cheek riser, and folds for $100.. previously, you had to dig through milsurp foreign kits or buy expensive folding adapters...with the total cost being 3x that, at minimum.
I once recorded a video of me repeated slamming one on concrete..then another video of me hammering the folding mechanism with a hammer in response to comments about how the stock system is "trash" and wont hold up to abuse.
The first response Ive had to the video (now years later) came only a few months ago... asking me to "turn" the stock a certain way before repeating the test. moving the goal posts...to avoid the fact that they make a great product, that is priced to be affordable for the masses.
Every magpull holy, every magpull good. We love all the magpull in our snipers hood.

Im relatively new to the forum but havent seen much, other than the occasional mention of not loving the magpul bipod
Just bought a magpul bipod, functions ok after its mounted. I got the swivel stud mount for some of my hunting rifles. Not overly impressed with how it attaches. Harris seems to be better in this area but the Harris is bulky.Im relatively new to the forum but havent seen much, other than the occasional mention of not loving the magpul bipod
After owning an Atlas I won’t ever buy a different brand again.
I'd have to agree. I bought one myself. Didnt think it was great. It came with 2 shims and neither of which fit the profile of the handguard on my tikka t3x ctr. I didnt think it fit tight enough so I returned it. The sling stud adapter mount in general presents a less-than-ideal mounting solution and everything else required bedding another anchor into the stock, which I wanted to avoid.
However...I went and bought the accu-shot sling stud adapter (over the caldwell 'crap' one), which everyone loves, and a FAB defense spike bipod (which on paper looks and functions better than the magpul)...couldnt get the accu-shot to tighten on the profile enough to stop moving, and shot worse groups even with a bipod that functioned better.
I ended the whole ordeal with saying screw it and finally buying a chassis, since between adding a rail to the stock, adding a cheek riser, adding a wider grip, and adding something that would increase the length of pull, would literally put me in the same price range as an ORYX cost.
so the long and the short of it, I thought the situation was the bipod's fault..but it honestly wasnt, and I'm willing to bet that with a better mount, it would have functioned better as a bipod too.
I like that they have trimmed the weight and kept most of the other features of the PRS. In my opinion, overall Magpul quality is always high compared to the other options I have handled.
I am running a Luth MBA-3 on my precision AR as I can keep the carbine tube length adjustment short and make up the difference on the butt pad LOP adjustment. This keeps the cheek rest forward as I like to lean into the rifle. (This likley comes for shooting lot of service rifle with the nose on the charging handle approach.)

yeah I'm on VLTOR a5 tube so this is an ideal pairing..might end up getting the UBR instead if this doesnt come out soon.
Anyone have any inside info on when this comes out, other than “summer 21”? Want to put it on my 6MM ARC build.
Finally broke down and bought a PRS Gen 3 since this was dragging along. I will def get the Lite to try when it hits the streets.
B5 SOPMOD is not doing it for me. I Don’t feel like I can get a solid position on the rear bag. Maybe the PRS Gen 3 will be a drastic improvement?
That is my main complaint. It feels like it's trying to balance on its tippy toes, however it feels higher quality than the Luth. I don't want to go to the weight of the Gen 3 though, so I'll wait for the lite.
what about the UBR?
Depending on the rifle's use, I feel like its the better choice if you're not using it to bench shoot.
Also the reason why I liked the idea of the PRS Lite, with it literally being a combo of UBR and PRS stock features.
Joe bobs shows the lite as in stock. They claim to only shoe live inventory, so apparently they have them ready to rock.
I've ordered a fair amount of stuff from them with zero complaints, but I didn't think the PRS lite was in the wild yet.

Looks like they're saying "Availability: This item is currently on order" so probably not in stock.
Man I rushed over there lol. Hopefully we can snags these in the next month or two.
Magpul just updated their site to say “Late Summer ‘21”. I have a feeling we are going to be waiting a while for this stock.
The Luth Stocks work fine if you're shooting from a bench or prone. But if it's going on a hard use rifle I wouldn't recommend it. The adjustable parts are kinda flimsy so if you get a stuck round and you try to mortar your rifle with the LOP adjustment out you're probably going to break it, other than that they work beautifully and they're the best bang for your buck as far as getting a light weight stock with full adjustability in that price range. I personally like the MBA-3 the best.
The only complaint I have with them is that the adjustable cheek rest will flex even when tightened down properly with the weight of your head, so if you're working with a scope with a tight eye box it can be a pain in the ass. But I've since found a way to fix the issue. Cut yourself a piece of foam and insert it under the cheek rest then compress the cheek rest to your desired height and lock it down.
And make sure to read the instructions, I see a lot of bad reviews from people who complained that it doesn't fit milspec or commercial buffer tubes, that it's loose on both and it rattles. Well it's supposed to, it comes equipped with a tensioning screw that you need to snug down once you set your length to pull then it's rock solid.
Another good option if you're running a rifle length tube is the Seekins 10x Stock, super lightweight and adjustable for cheek height and LOP. Very basic design but Grunt proof and you definitely don't need to worry about breaking anything if you Mortar it. Both the MBA-3 and 10x are around $100.00

Timely write-up, was looking at one of these.
Thanks for all the info. I found a PRS Gen3 for $178 online, so just pulled the trigger on that. Awesome write up on the Luth AR though.The Luth Stocks work fine if you're shooting from a bench or prone. But if it's going on a hard use rifle I wouldn't recommend it.

I was looking online for this Seekins 10x stock the other day and can only find the skeletonized X-Ray version for $150 at Joe Bob's. I need some LOP added and a bit of a cheek riser on my MOE fixed rifle stock for my Noveske, so I ordered the Magpul PRS extended buttpad and used vetrap to secure a piece of foam. It will get me by on the cheap until the PRS lite or that Seekins become available.Another good option if you're running a rifle length tube is the Seekins 10x Stock, super lightweight and adjustable for cheek height and LOP.

Well... at least the photo ops has some.
I hope this means release is getting closer.

LOL is that a Ford Ranger? At least make it an old beat up Hilux so it would have that "over there" believability.
It is a Ford Ranger ... Toyota HiLux trucks are fast becoming hard to find in certain areas.
And the "Global" version of the Ranger is a best seller in Europe and other places.... making it a more "commonly" found vehicle.
Believe it or not... the Ford Ranger has been looked at since 2013. And is getting a footing now a days. There are numerous versions for sale that are armored.
You can even order one from South Africa Ford.

I wish they had drilled a few more of the holes though, it could be moved back one more.
The charging handle doesn't move all the way back when the stock is on position 4. Isn't enough to prevent charging, is just annoying.
The other annoyance/bene-sug is I wish they had added a 3rd threaded socket to allow the ability to move the butt pad UP, not just down and side to side. The MBA-3 is very good but a few things keep it from being damn near perfect.
