Description
Adding an optic to your rifle almost always means your eye ends up sitting a little too low behind the glass, and that is exactly the gap this Magpul cheek riser fills. It clips onto the top of a Magpul CTR or MOE stock and raises your cheek weld by a half inch, which is often just enough to bring your eye into natural alignment with a scope or red dot that rides higher than your irons. The result is a more consistent sight picture, less craning your neck, and tighter groups because your head lands in the same spot every time you shoulder the rifle.
What the CTR/MOE Cheek Riser Does On the Range
A proper cheek weld is one of those small details that pays off big. When your optic sits up on a riser mount or a taller ring height, the standard stock can leave you chasing the reticle. This half inch riser closes that distance so your eye drops right into the tube or window. Folks who run higher mounted optics, magnified scopes, or newer builds with tall mounts tend to notice the difference immediately in comfort and repeatability.
Snap-On Install With No Tools
The MAG326 is about as simple as gear gets. It snaps securely over the comb of a compatible CTR or MOE stock and stays put, coming off only with deliberate prying. There is nothing to bolt on and nothing permanent, so you can add it, move it between stocks, or pull it off whenever you want. Built from durable glass-filled polymer, it barely adds any weight and holds up to plenty of installs and removals.
Fitment and Compatibility Notes
This riser is designed for Magpul CTR and MOE stocks and also works well on other non AR-15/M4 setups, including AK builds and M14 conversions where the comb sits low relative to the optic. On an AR-15 platform, the riser can interfere with charging handle clearance depending on where the buttstock is positioned, so it shines brightest on rifles where that is not a concern. The Flat Dark Earth finish keeps it blending in with earth-tone furniture and builds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which stocks does the Magpul CTR/MOE cheek riser fit?
It is designed to clip onto Magpul CTR and MOE stocks, and it also works on DT and PR carbine stocks. Plenty of folks run it on non AR-15/M4 builds like AK setups and M14 conversions where the comb sits low relative to the optic. It snaps securely over the comb with no tools required.
How much does this riser raise the cheek weld?
This model bumps your cheek weld up 0.50 inches. That is often the sweet spot for optics that sit a bit higher than iron sights or ride on a taller mount. Magpul also offers 0.25 inch and 0.75 inch versions if you need a different amount of rise.
Will the cheek riser work on an AR-15?
It can, but the riser may interfere with charging handle clearance depending on where the buttstock is positioned. Some users get around this by running the stock further out or extended fully. It performs best on rifles where charging handle clearance is not a concern, which is why it is popular on AK and other non AR-15 platforms.
Is installation permanent, and can I remove it later?
Not permanent at all. The riser clips over the top of the stock and stays put during use, but you can pry it off whenever you want. That makes it easy to move between compatible stocks or pull it entirely with no leftover holes or hardware.
