The Magpul CTR (Compact/Type Restricted) is a purpose-built replacement buttstock designed for shooters who demand reliability and performance from their AR-15 and M16 carbines. This mil-spec model is a true drop-in replacement that works with standard mil-spec receiver extension tubes.
Magpul engineered the CTR around the principle of fast, efficient operation. The streamlined A-frame profile eliminates snag points that can catch on gear or obstacles during dynamic shooting. The release latch is shielded to prevent accidental activation—a critical safety feature when your rifle is slung or moving through tight spaces.
The supplemental friction lock system is a key feature that sets the CTR apart. It minimizes excessive stock movement, keeping your rifle stable during firing and transitions. This translates to better control and faster target acquisition.
The ambidextrous QD (quick-detach) sling mount accepts any standard push-button sling swivel, giving you flexibility in how you configure your rifle for your specific mission or shooting discipline.
The mil-spec model includes a standard 0.30-inch thick rubber butt-pad that provides positive shoulder purchase. This means the stock won't slip during recoil—even when you're wearing body armor or modular tactical gear.
Magpul manufactures the CTR in the United States, maintaining the quality standards that have made their products trusted by military and civilian shooters worldwide.
