Is the Magpul CTR good?

It is the Goldilocks of buttpads for stocks. The cheek weld on the CTR is good enough for me.

The mil-spec tube threads—produced from 7075 T6 alloys—are rolled into the metal, resulting in taller and stronger threads. Commercial tube threads, on the other hand, are constructed from 6061 T6 billet aluminum and are cut into the metal, producing slightly shorter and weaker threads but at a lower cost.
