Description
The Magpul CTR 0.25″ Cheek Riser is a clip-on riser designed for shooters who need a slightly higher cheek weld on CTR, MOE, DT, and PR carbine stocks. Its primary purpose is to bring the eye into better alignment with an optic without the complexity or cost of a new stock entirely. A quarter inch may sound modest, but that increment is often the difference between a strained, inconsistent head position and one that lets the shooter acquire a red dot or low-power variable naturally every time the rifle comes to shoulder.
The riser attaches by clipping directly onto the stock body, so installation and removal require no tools and leave the stock itself unchanged. Magpul designed this piece originally for M14 carbine stock conversion applications, and that origin matters for AR-platform users: on an AR-15 or M4, the riser sits in the path of the charging handle unless the stock is fully extended. On non-AR platforms — or on an AR with the stock locked at its longest position — it functions without interference. Knowing that trade-off before purchase saves frustration at the range.
Construction is polymer, consistent with Magpul’s standard approach to stock accessories, and the piece is made in the USA. The black finish matches Magpul’s other standard-color accessories, so it integrates cleanly with most existing furniture. For shooters building out an M14-pattern carbine conversion, or running a CTR or MOE stock on a non-AR host where optic height demands a small cheek weld correction, this riser addresses the problem directly and reversibly.
