I would like to know what the consensus is on these. I have a 700vtr that while the factory stock looks great does leave much to be desired in the rigidity and I'm sure accuracy department.

Of course pictures would be outstanding
 
I'm not sure how the triangular barrel of your VTR would fit the barrel channel on the Magpul stock. Never heard of anyone put a VTR in the Magpul stock yet.
 
Love mine. Seems rigid and accurate. Ive got a 700 Tactical in .223 in it. QD slip attach points so I can use the same sling as my other long guns.

Thanks for the input I ordered a gray one for my VTR that will hopefully be here by week's end.

I'd like to convert it to the detachable magazine kit pictured above but I'm still not sure on the whole 5.56 ai mag situation

Post a photo when you get it so we can all see how the triangle barrel fits the channel of the stock and if it still remains free floated.

My setup is probably one of the first that use the 556 AI mags.
Could be. I bought the Magpul DBM in January and tried my 223 AI mags in them. Fit like a glove and a friend is using them in his 223 with the Magpul stock.

I think for the money the Magpul PHS is a good solution and very comfortable. Their DBM option is really nice for the money, even on a non-magpul (Boyds) stock-

That truck axle barrel won't fit in a Magpul :D
 
^ Very cool. I searched everything I could / talked to Magpul and MDT and no one could answer if 223 AI mags would work or say they had seen it before.
 
I didn't get to do much shooting before the heavens opened up into a deluge. But it certainly didn't shoot worst than the flimsy factory stock.

One thing is for sure. The magpul stock certainly looks the part.

VERY NICE! Im considering doing a really long tube on my stw when i finally shoot it out, and while im happy enough with the factory sps stock (now that its almost completely full of fiberglass and bedding material), it would look funny with a long heavy tube....this might just fit the bill tho.
