He was driving through town late in the evening when two cars tried to block him in at an intersection. As the occupants jumped out and headed his way, he strongly suspected that he was about to be the victim of a carjacking. Instead of trying to fight it out with multiple attackers, he quickly devised a plan. Driving over the curb, he quickly drove down the empty sidewalk, got back on the street and left the carjackers behind him.

The SGA became one of Magpul Industries most-famous and best-selling non-AR-15 stocks due to its versatility. By attaching the SGA stock to your shotgun, it could be instantly made easier to use because it provided an effective recoil-absorbing buttpad, rear sling attachment points, robust shim system to adjust length-of-pull, adjustable combs and improved geometry conducive to better defensive and tactical shotgun shooting. In 2014, Magpul took the SGA concept and ran with it in order to develop and release…
