Ok a quick update.
Ran the Magpul stock today and in general, I like it. Plug and play, NO fitting issues, bolted right together.
It’s stiffer than the factory stock but it’s still plastic and you can still flex the fore end with aggressive bipod loading.
Adjustability is simple, add on spacers out to 15” LOP, comfortable grip angle. Feels good to me.......
Now the downside. Still has the feeding issue, at least with American Gunner and the OTM meplat. Still has a tendency to get hung up and jam against the feed ramp and/or the neck get jammed in the narrow opening on the feed ramp. The opening looks overly narrow to my unsophisticated eye, and the ramp itself is steep and roughly cut. So looks like it’s going to take some “gunsmithing” to solve the issue.
It could also be, that rounds with a Ballistic tip may feed better and not as prone to jamming as the OTM style but I was unable to test any of those today.
