10.5" SBR: Magpul UBR stock too heavy?

[vicious_cb]

Post #2 got me thinking.

A 10.5 is very short and part of that advantage is that is is more maneuverable.

I am thinking I would be defeating the purpose of such a SBR is the back end is so heavy.

I can always get another stamp for a UBR but I think the first one should be more utilitarian.

Like Stickman said, it did not take much for me to change my mind.

I can be fickle at times when deciding on options.

I still need to think about this.

I also have heard of people using UBR's on SBR's because there has been discussion of overall length on the Form 1.

I have some time to think about it since the lengths are within a 1/2 inch or so.

Having a rear heavy stick isnt such a bad thing. It actually makes the front feel more "lively" when going from target to target. Most bullpups feel this way. Again its personal preference, alot of 3 gunners run magpul's PRS stock on 18" race guns.

Personally I like balancing my rifles around the magwell so the handling characteristics remain consistent no matter how much ammo is left in the gun.

Yes. Even with the PVS14, PEQ15 and a suppressor it was still stupid rear heavy.

Even on the China doll lower...

That's awesome

My Grinch heart grows three sizes, every time I see that little Chinese girl.

I feel like Arnold in PREDATOR.... "What the hell ARE you?"

As far as the UBR? The only thing I like less than the UBR is Hussein Obama.

LWRC?

Where is my graphic of a UBR attached to an M777 and the Marines saying "it's still too rear heavy!"

For me the UBR was too heavy, try the LWRC compact stock? I run a couple on my SBR's and like it. It's certainly not the "be all end all" but it's modestly priced and well made IMO.

LWRC?

Oooooh... that's tough. Who lies more? Hussein or LWRC??

If I were God, I would make Obama show up at your house with an UBR equipped LWRC rifle.

Some people love the UBR, and that's cool. I've shot a few guns with the UBR, and it's not a problem.

I have a UBR that I use on my SIG 516 when I trick it out like a DMR/ M27. It's already a heavy front end, being piston, with a 16" barrel and SF muzzle brake, then I add an Atlas bipod, TA11 ACOG, and the UBR balances it out nicely. For anything less than that (weight wise), I find I really don't care for the UBR. It simply makes the gun overly heavy. I wouldn't dream of putting it on a 10" SBR but that's just me. I've never cared for the heavy-rear feel like a bull pup. The CTR is still my most preferred stock, although I'd still like to try a couple other Magpul stocks in between the two.
