I saw this cool looking thing at midwest PX and loved it.  I think it fits into the PRS area, eh?  Or is it more aggressive?

I really like the Luth-AR stock. It uses the same A2/rifle extension as a PRS, comes in at nearly half the weight and a good bit less in cost while still having an adjustable length of pull and cheekweld. It's a very well thought out design and the material selection seems pretty good. From what I can tell, it's a fiberglass-reinforced polymer similar to what Magpul and New Frontier Armory use so it should be pretty durable. For me, the weight is the biggest advantage over the PRS. Ounces add up and can really throw off a rifle's center of balance. SPRs are dual purpose guns and to balance a PRS, you'll want a heavier profile barrel or heavier handguard. But then you've added weight to two (or three) large parts of the rifle which then makes it a little unwieldy at closer ranges. Once you start adding weight to an SPR, you run the danger of turning it into a DMR, IMO. My SPR with an 18" barrel and 14" handguard weighs 7.5lbs without an optic which is pretty darn light. But more importantly, the balance is perfect and the rifle can be driven from target to target inside of 25 yards with ease. Not as easy as one of my SBRs or a 16" carbine but it's not much slower.

 

Side note, we should have more of those either later this week or early next week.

How long is the stock at its shortest compared to a1 or a2 length?

Me too, and this answers some of the problems we were talking about in the other thread.

so at its shortest it is a2 length.  if i feel the need for a cheek riser, this may be the way to go.  although i have a feeling both this and the A2 will be a little long for me

Does it come with QD cups?   Looks like it but I'm no sure.   I might get this.

It does not. I was screwing around with mine and discovered that the Magpul ACS QD cup fits perfectly however the screw needs to be shortened.

I have one from an str that I can figure out as long as there's a place for it.
