Just a reminder to always check function after making even a simple mod to your weapon. I added a Magpul Cheek riser to my DPMS LR308 CTR stock. It blocks the charge handle from fully retracting the bolt, even with the stock fully extended. On my 5.56 AR the charge handle will retract only if stock is fully extended.

I gather you didn't grab the LaRue version of that.

Maybe a little dremel work will fix that up for you ;-)

Unfortunately I didn't see that until after I bgt them. They really should have a warning on the package.
