First Look: Magpul UBR 2.0

The UBR 2.0 is an adjustable stock for the AR15/M4 platform designed to offer the same strength and stability as a fixed stock with a consistent and comfortable cheek weld in any position.

An update of the Utility/Battle Rifle stock, the Magpul UBR 2.0 features a fixed cheek weld piece that provides a consistent cheek weld in any of its eight positions and is compatible with A5-length buffer systems.

Designed to accommodate large-bore AR calibers and withstand severe impacts, the UBR comes standard with front and rear QD sling attachments, a recessed footman's loop, the ergonomic MOE SL angled-toe rubber butt-pad and a storage compartment. The buffer tube is included and is compatible with A5-length springs and buffers as well as carbine springs and buffers (using the included spacer).

The UBR 2.0 is available in black, field dark earth, olive drab green and gray. The suggested retail price is $199.95. UBR2-stock-magpul
