I have an MOE fixed length rifle stock, and enjoy it for it's role.
One day I was sorting through my parts boxes, and realized I had enough spare Colt parts to build an A4 upper. I took a spare lower and LPK from the safe, and built an MOE rifle.
It's got a Colt 20" rifle barrel, and the furniture is all MOE - rifle handguards, pistol grip, stock, etc. Slapped an old Colt carry handle on it, and it works very well.
I like it as a combination of old and new. I was in the FMF when we transitioned from the M16A1 to the M16A2. So iron sights are very comfortable for me. The length of pull is excellent from the prone position, and I really do like the cheekweld. I've got probably every stock Magpul makes, I'd honestly have to go look. But the MOE rifle stock is a great fit for me personally.
Recently I found an MOE illum kit I had forgotten about, and put a Surefire G3 with a 1000-lumen LED in that. The fit is excellent - my thumb falls right on the switch to turn the light on and off. It will also light up a coyote from a nice distance - we have too many coyotes here.
I have a nephew that is a pretty big boy, and this rifle will probably end up with him as a Christmas present or something. But it might not, I really do like how it fits.
Hope that helps.
+1. My favorite setup so far. I may do the extended butt pad for a smidge more length, but I'm digging the setup. Being in a ban state, this is the best option I've come across.
I have the VLtor A1 length stock on another rifle. It's ok, but I find the Fixed carbine MOE a better fit for me. I also am running the Mod3 BCM grip and, for me, it's a perfect combo. I like NTCH and the MOE FC stock allows for consistent head placement...for me.

The solidness of the stock was the biggest surprise to me. It feels a lot stronger than any A1 options I've run in the past.... and way stronger than any adjustable. Good buttplate too... not slick where you can't lean the gun on something, but not that overly grippy SOPMOD rubber that drives me nuts.

I ordered one of these on faith without having first seen or handled one, it's not here for a few days yet.
I found an M&P at a local store yesterday that had a MOE Rifle stock in some kind of hunting camo. I'm happy to say that not only is the length very usable, the stock isn't as gawky is it appears in some pics (not that it matters). It's odd how these photograph.

I finally got my hands (more importantly my cheek) on a Magpul AR-10 PRS. As I'd heard, the cheekweld was awkward. I've been thinking that the MOE fixed stock was going to be temporary until I got a PRS but I think the MOE is gonna be a keeper.
My MOE Rifle stock came in a few days ago. I'm very impressed so far, and am hoping to get it out on the range after the local ice age abates a little. Very solid, LOP is actually decent, cheekweld is good.

I had one but switched because I wanted adjustable. Swapped it out for a b5 enhanced; the qd is in a good spot for my 2-2-1 and I want the battery storage.

I have an MOE rifle stock on my newest 3Gun build. I need to get the .80 PRS pad to get the LOP right, but I'm very satisfied with it. I bought it for my rifle build because I run the ACS-Ls on my carbine ARs, and the cheekweld is virtually identical. I don't know of a better fixed stock out there for the money, personally.
