I got my stock last week from Optics Planet after a long stint at CBSA.
This transforms the rifle, has a much better feel, lighter and better balanced.
For QD cups the Uncle Mikes brand are drop in fit and 1/2 price of Magpul ones.

Good to know,
Who sells the Mike's QD cups in Canada?

Edit, just did a quick search and I can't see the cups on Uncle Mike's website searching for QD cups.... ?

OK, I think I found them, are they the ones that say they glue in to place?

Yes they say glue in but I used an M4 Flathead screw and locknut to hold mine in.
I got mine off amazon

Thanks GimpyG, have you tried different quick release studs in the cups? I read some reviews on amazon that said the dimensions were close but perhaps not exactly the same as the magpul cups.

I have tried magpul clone QD's but not the real deal. From most of what I read they were a direct replacement. Actually I don't recall anything to the contrary.
 
My experience with cheap knock off QD cups is most are slightly off from Magpul specs. I’ve had to modify some and others dropped in easily with some washers as shims and/or glue.
 
I was more wondering if a magpul sling that comes with attached QD (male) connectors will connect with the knock off cups. I have had different QD attachements from different manufacturers and sometimes the parts don't play well together.
 
Well Surprise Surprise. The seconed grey version I ordered a month ago from Brownells that ended up being back ordered after I ordered it arrived today unannounced?
I didn't even get a shipping notification when it was back in stock and the day after I sent them a note suggesting maybe to not use US/Canada Post but it looks like it came Priority International and went through Vancouver without a problem. The other Package ordered a month before is still in Ontario going on 9 weeks now.

As soon as i seen my was in Mississauga I knew I was screwed. I actually use to work at the Gateway back in the mid 80's.
 
I'm done buying firearms, parts and accessories. Just buying ammo and going to range as often as I can...This summer will be our last to shoot handguns and semi's.
 
Just received mine from FOC. Looks like Magpul screwed up a bit, the forend is definitely not for Ruger PC:
