I purchased a used PRS stock a while back but it does not say Magpul on it anywhere, no markings at all. It certainly looks like original Magpul to me but...
I was told it was bought in a PX in Iraq-could this be true? Could that be the reason it has no markings or is it maybe a repro?
Any ideas from you Iraq vets?

Re: Magpul PRS stock question
I'm not an Iraq vet, but we have two rifles in the safe that both have Magpul PRS stocks. Both stocks - one black, and one dark earth - have the Magpul logo and other information on the side of the stock, near the bottom. Ours do not have the other graphic on the cheek riser.

Re: Magpul PRS stock question
yeah, mine has the stamped rectangle on it where yours says Magpul, but no logo or printing inside it-weird. Other than that it is identical.

Re: Magpul PRS stock question
That was my thought, or left unmarked for overseas sales. It is definitely a few years old.lowonair wrote:maybe its just an early version?

Re: Magpul PRS stock question
Are you sure it's not a Chinese knock-off? I saw some at a gun show a while back. The guy selling them said they were missing a butt plat screw. The guy that bought it walked over to a MagPul dealer and got a screw for a couple of bucks and it fit. I have a genuine PRS but I couldn't tell the difference.slinco wrote:I purchased a used PRS stock a while back but it does not say Magpul on it anywhere, no markings at all.

Thats a great idea, I'll do that today.AndyC wrote:Saw lots of stuff in various PX's in Iraq, but never major parts such as gun-stocks - plenty of slings, holsters, mag-pouches, cleaning-kits etc, but never stocks, magazines, handguards...
Take some pics and email them to Magpul
Thanks

Re: Magpul PRS stock question
If it doesn't have the MagPul logo....then its a Chinese knock-off (like the ones for sale on ebay).
That doesn't necessarily make them "bad"....but they are not the genuine article.
