The longer 308 would fit a 5.56 and still be shorter than a PRS. For prone I'm usually pulling mine back one click. Either way a great deal at $179, I just paid $215 at Proven Arms 20% off sale.

I believe so. I have the stock in the farthest forward position. The LOP feels like a normal collapsed AR15 stock.Originally Posted by duece71
I'm not sure how it would compare to the magpul PRS.

Does the 7.62 version lock in on the first hole on a 5.56 buffer tube or just rest up against castle nut in-between the 1st and 2nd?
It was really hard finding any info about the 7.62 on a 5.56 length tube.

Man that's a perfect MWS there! Jelly over here big time
Me too. Not that I believe you’re implying, but just to be clear, that is the specimen in this video of the 13.5” 1100 yard shot:

Such a sick set up.

I have both and can answer some dimension questions.

That’s what I thought. It looks a little shorter than the MP PRS. Oh well, maybe someday I sell off the MP PRS and pick up the LMT version. The MP ACS works well for now. Thanks for the info.

I remember watching that video on YouTube and thinking to myself it was the most beautifully setup MWS I've ever seen.
I was never a fan of the Magpul version, except on Boba Fett RAL8000 specimen. I’m sure it is quite functional for its purpose. My issue was aesthetics. I would never have even considered the LMT version until I saw the specimen above that was featured in the 13.5” 1100 yard YouTube video. Gorgeous rifle. The stock at least appears to have a smaller footprint. I’m not a fan of the gap though how you’ve currently configured yours. I’m sure it’s a matter of purpose, which obviously is the reason for needing an adjustable stock. Solid purchase
I was initially concerned with the Gen 3 PRS length being a little long with no way to shorten it, but I found that I actually needed/preferred a longer LOP (about 12"), which works out very well for me considering how I employ the rifle. When mated to a Law folder, the 7.62 DMR achieves the same result, but with the added capability of being able to fold down if there is a desire to transport or store it in a case with a smaller visual footprint.

If I recall correctly, it's actually a 14/14.5" that was chopped down.
Still impressive eitherway.

I was thinking that was yours, but in actuality yours will be much nastier given the Magical Marvin touch!
That's a great video though.

Interesting. Thank you for the picture.5/16 inch gap at castle nut, 9 5/8 total length from back of cattle nut 308 stock on 556 tube.

Is the 7.62 LOCKED into place or does it slide freely backwards until the next buffer tube stop?
