No, because Magpul stuff is quality gear that works.
Unlike tapco which is shitty gear that sometimes works. |

I love my UBR and I don't shoot with anything but PMAGs.
If I didn't like the look of rails I would have their mid length hand guard on my rifle. |

I used Magpul because thats what was included in the MOE build kit I bought from PSA on sale. And the sight because it was too cheap to pass up.
|
|
Whenever I see tapco fucked or magpul fucked in a thread I always imagine a bunch of petty middle school girls criticizing each others clothing. Magpul produces quality parts at a good price point, and people use it because it works. Too many people think that because something does meet their aesthetic standards it sucks.

People who don't like magpul (or other popular brands, simply because they're popular) are like gun hipsters.

Anyone who wants to know the what is behind our products can just look here for answers. Magpul Foundations We build stuff that we want to use. Sometimes this changes the entire industry like the PMag. Sometimes it is a small market that only fits a micro mission like the K-Grip built for PDW AR15 applications. If you like the stuff then use it and be happy. If not, be happy about the fact you have a choice of high quality vendors out there. We are kind of simple like that. Keep making good shit and please come out with the Massoud soon so I can give you money for one and piss off the ignorant people in this thread some more. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I am addicted to the UBR. Cheek weld never changes - stock still fully adjustable.
I can't stop putting them on my AR's. Now if they would only produce that Monolith Fs2000 forend. |

Not that I really care about what others do to their rifles and I will say that I use some of Magpul's products. But are more people just bolting on Magpul products just to look cool these days before even testing the functionality of the existing products on their AR's? Why would you even care what someone bolts or adds on the their rifle ???? Whats next ? telling someone "No one puts ketchup on a hotdog" |

I like the CTR and the magazines.
The rest, particulary the handguard/rail setup... nah. |

Their stocks look cool, some have function and storage but mostly cosmetic IMO.
Pmags are awesome. Grips are good, I like the fatter grip compared to an A2. Plus storage. MBUS is cheap and durable but this will be argued a million times over. VFG not sure, never tried one. Some people swear by it though. RVG matches thickness of their other grips which is good IMO, plus two bolts. Handguards seem durable and functional, but I think they are ugly as hell. Not too bad looking on the ACR though. |

All that matters is if you use what the idiots on the internet deem cool at the time. |

Ah, today's "I'm cool because I don't like what's popular" thread. No shit. Its been interesting to watch the wave of Magpul's popularity over the years. I've been extremely happy with my products that I've bought for them (except the MS2, and they were nice enough to replace it free of charge with an MS3). If gun manufacturers want to offer affordable rifles with upgraded furniture, why in the world would that be a bad thing? Because it cool to show how hardcore you are by grumbling about other people's useless accessories. Appears this is nothing but a troll thread that accomplished it's purpose. |

Otherwise it would just be an AK with a smaller cartridge. We aren't all tier 1 operators (still with me AR77?) that use it every day to fend of hordes of zombies, jihadists, and pointy elbowed supermodels. We still have just as much right to spend our money to put on aftermarket accessories if we think it makes our rifle better. Get over it. |

tapco is cheap shit Magpul makes decent quality stuff for a reasonable price. Why do people ride bandwagons in general? I have a theory, but no patience to type it. I think its mental conditioning by the hero worship culture we live in (I live around it)... but I'm not going into it here either. Neded mags: bought PMAGS and like them. Needed a stock with adjustable comb/cheekweld: Bought a PRS stock and like it. If there is anything else they make I might need I'd certainly consider it. Nice stuff is nice. Quoted:

Bolting stuff you don't need to your rifle because it looks cool is silly, no matter if it's a cheap Tapco pistol grip or a $20,000 thermal sight that you'll never use FLIR and Night vision are never stupid. Ever. Never. |

But are more people just bolting on Magpul products just to look cool these days before even testing the functionality of the existing products on their AR's? How does one test said functionality? By bolting it on and using it perhaps? Precisely. I had never used a Magpul product when I built an AR for the first time. I decided to try an MOE build kit from PSA and loved the MOE stock... plus, based on recommendations here I tried Pmags and liked them as well. When you have consecutive good experiences with a certain company, you tend to become a faithful customer... that's why I now have 4 MOE stocks, a bunch of Pmags, ASAPs, etc. There are definitely parts from Magpul that I have zero interest in, but most of their stuff simply works and works well, all at a reasonable price. Some parts I prefer from other manufacturers, nothing wrong with that. I'll admit that a couple of my rifles do look like Magpul ads though... oops. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I love the P-MAGs
Their grips are better than the factory style , but I like the RRA - Hogue better and the Ergo types the best....especially the fat Ergo , it's perfect for my meathook. The MAGPUL stocks are better for me than the regular collapsible style , but I prefer the VLTOR E-Mods over all of them, except for the MAGPUL PRS , had a couple of those on my bench-varmint rifles and love them. The E-Mod is on my 308 and my primary carbine....the MOE is on my varmint rifle until I feel like spending the extra $$$ on a PRS. I run the AFGs on a couple rifles and want one for my pistol .....they are very comfortable to me . Ive never run their BUIS or anything else of theirs , so I cant say how they are . I like the UTG rail covers as they are thick and beefy , and couldnt care less where they are made ....they work . I cant think of anything else that Ive run of TAPCO. I just dont care how the cool-kids view my choices , I run what I like and can afford .....period,fucking-dot. |

Gimmicky shit marketed in parallel with gimmicky training videos. I did use a section of magpul rail to mount the light on my bolt gun sellout |

My favorite Magpul products:
MIAD grip CTR stock MS3 sling Pmags UBR stock The rest of it is alright, but well above Tapco in quality. Magpul makes its way onto so many ARs for the same reason that so many people own Glocks. Hate them all you want, but they are functional and don't break. |

i use/run/operate an AFG on 2 of my rifles/sticks/weapon systems.
i wish i could be cool like the guys that dont. |

My AR came with some Magpul stuff on it. Liked it so I left it.

I'm not agreeing with him, but I see his point. When I read "run" in conjunction with a product (any product) I assume that to me the person actually uses it. Running is an action. If you "run" a certain product on your weapon, I assume that means you have either used it in training, combat, or competition, and enough that you know whether or not you like it and feel like it is a quality piece of equipment or not. Consequently, I ignore people who show up with pictures of safe queens and talk about all the shit they "run" on their rifles. My work rifle has some extra stuff on it but is mostly stock, it's beat the fuck up, dirty (on the outside) and looks like hell becuase I run the shit out of it. My M4 at home is for now, a safe queen, because I never have time too shoot. I'm always at work. therefore I couldn't honestly say I "run" anything on it. I do however, very much like the UBR stock and PMAGs. |
