Thank you. I needed this. I bought this Magpul stock for my CMMG 6.5 Grendel lower that came with an Ace butt stock. I went to change them out a couple weeks ago but when I slipped the Ace stock back ( very tight ) and saw that little spring I quit. I was not sure about that spring. I knew what it was but didn't have the confidence to continue. Now I do. Just hoping I can do the job without kinking that spring. That rear screw has a hole for venting that is important might be mentioned.
@@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009 30 minutes later and Got her done. Almost easy peasy. The little spring was no problem. But the magpul supplied rear screw was a scoche too large so I just used the Ace stock cap screw. It isn't vented like the magpul slotted screw but evidently that is not necessary as the rifle was fine without a vented screw. Also, for others, don't unscrew the rubber buttplate screws too far as then you will lose the 'nut' that goes in a slot within the stock itself. If you do that you will have to have the gun sticking down and straight up to get them aligned again. Not a total pain and doable. I know. My ball head and clamp will do that as the ball receiver has a slot allowing it.
Nice straight forward installation. Was going for a 6 ARC but decided to build a 6.5 Grendel and use a rifle buffer tube. This vid is better than the instructions.
I love your build. I never get to see 6mm Arc builds. Great video! I was worried that the stock would be flimsy but it looks really sturdy here. I think I'll be trying one of these on my grendel soon.
Very helpful video Dave, thank you. I'm building a 20" Compass Lake Engineering Douglas .870 gba .223 Wylde coyote hunting rifle myself. New to shooting at or over 100 yards so I'm having to learn a lot at once with this build. Can't wait to take it to the range and learn. God bless!
Thank you for your video. I just received a PRS and the instructions, apparently not the ones you received, were totally inadequate. You have cleared up a lot of problems for me.
That aughta bring those groups in even tighter. Having the proper length of pull and eye alignment with the scope is key to consistent accuracy. Looking forward to you range results

Sounds like you are on the right track. I suggest you contact Magpul directly with your questions. The Magpul PRS gen 3 comes with everything you need, assuming you are replaceing an existing stock. Thanks for your questions and for watching.

@@janicejohnson1334 Stripped lower does require parts as well as assembly tools, such as punches, small screw driver and others.

It is a great learning experience and congrats on taking on the tasks.
Thumbs up, Dave! Nice gun cabinet. Did you add the hooks that are holding the lower? Never seen a cabinet like that. Are they antler tips or grizzly bear claws? 😂 I like that idea of using an old belt for a sling. I suppose you had to trim it down to fit the swivel loops. (Upper, I meant)

I swapped lowers from my 5.56, didn't look at the buffer designation, but it is a Palmetto State lower. A rifle tube has a longer buffer and spring than a standard carbine, so dwell time should be slowed...Maybe.
Mornin Dave!
Re watching. ( watched & commented from my old -deleted account)
Anyhow just got this stock ( used from friend) & making quick video.
I'll be sure to watch all your videos. Always educational content.
Congratulations, finally a concrete review, without those endless strings of useless adjectives. Really interesting. Best wishes.
Thanks for watching and the kind words here.
Great video,Dave. Thanks for recording from different angles during this installation.
Thank you for the kind words and for watching.

Very good video no bs just great basic info thanks
Thanks for your comment and for watching.
I was on the fence about buying one of these. But after watching this video, you have convinced me to make the purchase.
Best of luck to you. They make a lighter weight version now and less expensive too.
Thank you for an XCLNT vid . . . Hubby just bought this PRC to install on his POF 308 20" Piston ... will post more when installed
Glad it helped. Thanks for your kind comment.
Good Review. I'm thinking of getting one for my long range AR set up.
They have a newer version that is lighter and less expensive now.

Yes...But this is a swapped lower off of my 5.56. The old stock on it was for it. The 6mm ARC needed a new stock for all the reasons you stated.
I have a gen 1. Great stock.

They are Muley antler double eye guards, just wide enough to hold the upper. Thanks for question.
I heard those add some extra weight to the rifle, any idea how much it could be?
Great video, thank you
Depends on what stock you already have and how much it weighs. In my case it added about 16 ounces.

See the reply to your second comment.
Anyone have any issues with that rear screw with the drain hole in it. Mine won't thread at all it just spins in there. M&P10
i also have a prs gen 3 on my 6mm arc gun, but just a 20" criterion barrel on it. may i ask what buffer tube/buffer/spring youre using? thank you
I swapped lowers from my 5.56, didn't look at the buffer designation, but it is a Palmetto State lower. A rifle tube has a longer buffer and spring than a standard carbine, so dwell time should be slowed...Maybe.
How High can you raise the cheek rest?
1 inch
Cant eait install mine with my AR 10
