# Frequently Asked Questions Get to know the MagTube Gunstock better through these frequently asked questions. # MagTube Gunstock FAQ - **Are the mounts magnetic?** Yes. We haven't sold fastened in many years. We only sell magnetic gunstocks. **Can I switch primary hands?** Yes, instructions [here](https://www.protubevr.com/fr/index.php?controller=attachment&id_attachment=78) (prompts pdf download). - **Carbon vs Chrome tubes which is better?** Carbon tubes are lighter, more durable, and non-reflective. Chrome tubes are heavier, sturdy, and reflective. If you have an HMD that has poor tracking with reflective surfaces (such as Valve Index), consider Carbon or cover your Chrome tubes. **Carbon is ~112g lighter** - **Carbon vs other controller mounts which is better?** The carbon cups use a carbon filament and the other cups use PLA filament. The carbon cups are lighter and more durable. Additionally they have a slightly more 'grippy' feel to them compared to PLA which feel 'smoother'. - **Should I get the bipod?** You have to consider how you will use it. Does your play space allow for use while standing or crouching by letting you sit it on something for stability? Can you comfortably accommodate its usage? The bipod is a very powerful tool when used properly. - **Should I get the controller mount bracket?** This is for if you want to quickly change position of your controller on the gunstock without having to manually adjust one of them. For example, when changing from a rifle to an SMG. It is down to preference, and you can always buy one separately later on. **This is an optional add on. You don't need it to use the stock.** - **Should I get the ProStraps?** While only available for certain HMDs, they are highly recommended for the added comfort they offer. Ordering them this way also likely means **they will come pre-installed**. - **What are the differences between MK1 and MK2 static stock?** The MK1 is the original stock design we have used and refined since the beginning. The Mk2 is a new design that allows for height adjustment, and additional cheek weld comfort. With the new design, users have even more adjustability for the perfect alignment. Especially useful for inside out tracking HMDs such as Quest 3 where it is important for the HMD to see the controllers at all times. - **I just got MagTube for Ghosts of Tabor how do I set it up?** Here is the [MagTube Quick Start Guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/ProTubeVR/comments/15mfyel/magtube_quick_start_guide_just_received_your/ "MagTube Quick Start Guide (https://www.reddit.com/r/ProTubeVR/comments/15mfyel/magtube_quick_start_guide_just_received_your/)"). Here is a [twitch clip](https://clips.twitch.tv/PricklyTubularBarracudaPicoMause-vxFUP585vkUbiZyi "twitch clip (https://clips.twitch.tv/PricklyTubularBarracudaPicoMause-vxFUP585vkUbiZyi)") for ragesaq's setup which serves as a great baseline to personalize, as well as a [YT video](https://youtu.be/AU8k8ZaNrqE?si=QQ4SgVS16BVEduDG "YT video (https://youtu.be/AU8k8ZaNrqE?si=QQ4SgVS16BVEduDG)") by ScopeOG to follow. - **I just got MagTube for Contractors Showdown how do I calibrate in game? **For both Battle Royale and the new Exfil mode, you calibrate in Battle Royale. Your calibration will carry over to Exfil. If you cannot adjust enough in the calibration, you will need to physically adjust your stock to compensate. Best practice is to learn how to adjust your stock to align to any gun in any game, and then use the in game calibration for additional ease/comfort. Don’t rely entirely on the in game calibration. Not every game has an in game calibration. - **I think my cups aren't magnetic?** Your MagTube may have arrived with the cups attached. The magnets are strong unless the cup is moved at a certain angle (rotate inward depending on which hand i.e. right hand cup rotate counter clockwise, left hand clockwise) and they will easily detach. - **One of the magnetic mounts on the MagTube is smooth, is this on purpose?** Yes. The trigger hand supports most of the gunstock’s weight. A notched magnet retainer keeps it locked in place when tightened to avoid involuntary changes of angle. The spacing of the notches still allows for a good amount of adjustment. The supporting hand magnet retainer is smooth to allow finer adjustment on the fly. Think of a clock. If the notched magnet retainer can adjust in hours, the smooth one can adjust in seconds. If you want both controllers on notched magnet retainers, you can buy a second one [here](https://www.protubevr.com/en/spare-parts/681-8008-retainer-bracket.html "here (https://www.protubevr.com/en/spare-parts/681-8008-retainer-bracket.html)") (select notched). - **How do I use the sling?** The slings, both 1 point and 2 point, are like the ones used on actual rifles and pre-existing guides for how to use those all apply. Such as [this one](https://youtu.be/_pzzmABWLK0?si=gXb6r4RUcktCQG87&t=182 "this one (https://youtu.be/_pzzmABWLK0?si=gXb6r4RUcktCQG87&t=182)"). - **1 point or 2 point which sling is better?** That is down to preference. 1 point attaches to the stock at 1 point, and 2 point attaches to both mounting points on the stock. You can use the 2 point as 1 point by attaching both sides to the same point on the stock.
