So I got a Magpul Moe CTR stock for the CQR and noticed a bit of up and down play between the tube and the stock. This was preventing the stock from keeping locked in a position. To solve this I too a piece of Gorilla tape and taped it on the inside top of the the CTR stock. This solved the issue completely. Plus you cannot tell that there is any tape anywhere and 1 piece solved the issue completely. So if anyone one else out there shells out 80 bucks for a CTR stock and its not sitting right you know what to do.

Was this a Magpul USA stock? Im surprised you were getting this wobble. The friction lock system should prevent it...

Did you buy the Mil-Spec version or the Commercial version?  That would make a difference.

I checked the stock and yes it is a milspec stock. The inner top part of the stock that sits on top of the tube needed to be 1-2mm thicker. Due to the size it was not allowing the locking mechanism to properly engage.

It seems odd to me that a Mil-Spec CTR would not operate correctly.  I have a CTR on my KWA M4A1 and it fits and locks perfectly.

That actually sound like a commercial version. Milspec should be pretty close to the our buffer tube.

I did buy it second hand so who knows. Maybe someone made it fit a commercial buffer tube :blink:
