Let’s Talk About USED, Magpul Industries Prs Extended Rubber – 1 out of 3 models
The USED, Magpul Industries Prs Extended Rubber – 1 out of 3 models is a seemingly simple piece of kit, but for precision rifle shooters, it can make all the difference. Designed by Magpul Industries, this extended rubber buttpad adds a half-inch to the length of pull on their popular PRS (Precision Rifle/Sniper) stocks. Is a used buttpad worth the investment?
I was looking to improve the fit of my AR-10 equipped with a Magpul PRS stock. My lanky frame always felt a bit cramped behind the rifle, and I knew that an extra half-inch could significantly improve my shooting posture and eye relief. This seemed like an inexpensive way to dial in a better fit.
Upon receiving the used buttpad, my initial impression was good, considering it was used. It showed minor signs of wear, but the rubber felt solid, and the mounting holes appeared undamaged. It felt like a quality piece of equipment, even second-hand.
I considered a few alternatives, like adjustable cheek risers or completely different stocks with adjustable length of pull. However, those options were significantly more expensive, and I was happy with the existing PRS stock except for the length. This Magpul extended rubber buttpad seemed like the perfect, budget-friendly solution. My first impression was cautiously optimistic; I hoped it would live up to its simple promise.
