Magpul’s new Universal Carbine Stock (UCS) is loaded with features and priced right at $219.95. Designed for rear-mounted, vertical M1913 Picatinny rails, it brings everything you’d expect from a Magpul stock, along with features you didn’t even know you needed.

The Magpul UCS isn’t your average folding stock. It’s built with a reversible hinge that folds left or right. In addition, a five-degree drop angle provides extra clearance for charging handles and ejection ports.

To adjust length of pull, the Magpul UCS sports a six-position push-button system that features three inches of adjustment. It ships with two tool-free, reversible cheek risers (1/2- and 3/4-inch), and with the reversible M1913 clamp giving you a 1/2-slot height bump, you can fine-tune your sight picture whether you’re running iron sights or optics.

Despite its full feature set, the Magpul UCS keeps it light, weighing slightly more than 18 ounces. In addition, it’s got a reversible, anti-rotation quick-detach sling socket and is compatible with MOE SL and DT butt-pads. Plus the UCS is built with Magpul’s exceptional durability.

Available now in Black and FDE colors, the Magpul UCS has an MSRP of $219.95. The website says that it will be available soon. Go to magpul.com.
