My gun has the old gen I AXIS II stock not the new factory stock which is closer to this stock and fits the old guns too. This Magpul stock is definitely heavier than the older AXIS II stock but MUCH more substantial and it's worth it to me. The old AXIS II stock is spindly. Where you right hand holds the stock it's crazy thin. Yes, it worked but it's just spindly. I have a 243 so I was getting by fine with it but the Magpul has a much more substantial grip, a pistol grip and you can adjust the length of pull up to 2 inches in half inch increments. I didn't use it, but it has an insert for left hand guns. It also has the MLOCK attachment system if you want to use that. It dropped right in and free floats the barrel like stock maybe more than stock. It has an engraved stock colored F that is exposed when you take the safety off but I filled in the F with florescent red paint. Magpul makes nice products in general and for the price it would be hard to do better.

I got this for hunting because I didn't want to get a 10 round mag for my Armalite AR15. Well, it takes several tries to get it to click into place and then it doesn't feed properly. I can't even load the first round with the charging handle. Now I have to hunt with a reliable 30 round Magpul mag. It works, I just don't need the capacity and it sticks out pretty far.

I have a Nikon Pro staff 3x9 on my AR and there isn't much room with medium height rings. This allows me to pull the charging handle back from either side and gives me more area to grip. It's smoother than stock too. Just not sure these two things couldn't have been done cheaper by purchasing a different handle but I am happy with my purchase. It was the best price I could find on the charging handle anywhere.
