I have been magpul CTR for a while now.. have had several..

but am considering something different for my SBR.. want to keep it small and light.. looking for quality suggestions.. 

 

thanks 

I'll be moving to a B5 Systems Bravo SOPMOD stock soon. It'll be replacing my MOE on my rifle now. I've heard nothing but good things about stocks from B5.

 

The Bravo is on the left and it weighs in at 8.25 ounces.

 

I really like my str. Give me a good cheek weld. That won't help you with small and light though.

Vltor imod. Mostly based on looks though. It's all I can go by. Don't have much time otherwise. If not I'd probably try the b5

I like my magpul fixed carbine stock. Probably not light or short enough for you.

I like the Magpul fixed stock as well.  But looking into the Ace Skeleton for the next one.

seems from what i can tell you really can't get lighter than the CTR unless you go with the MOE stock or the b5 bravo (8.25oz) assuming these are correct

this is exactly what i was gonna say. Either ace skeleton or short LE entry A2 stock for me next build

I went with the ACE Skeleton 7", love it.

 

thanks for all the feedback..

definitely want to stick with an adjustable stock... 

I have an LMT SOPMOD on one SBR, and a B5 Bravo on the other - (both issued work guns). I had a UBR on one of the SBRs for a short time, but I didn't like it so I sold it and put a CTR on there. It gave the carbine a weird balance, so off it came. I tried the SOPMOD next thinking I wasn't going to like it because it was going to be too heavy, but I was wrong. It's perfect. I got the Bravo stock for the other, instead of a second SOPMOD, because the SOPMOD won't fit in the rack in my squad car. It is almost as good, but not quite. It is a close substitute though and it fits in the rack, so it works.

 

My 2 lightweight ARs have pinned MOEs - after trying VLTOR clubfoot and carbine modstocks and Magpul ACS and STR stocks - another AR has a second B5 Bravo, anther has a Magpul PTS and my S&W AR15/22 has a pinned VLTOR EMOD. The VLTOR stocks are comfortable and balance well, but they pull the hairs on my cheek if I don't shave for a couple of days.

 

The MOE/CTR are OK. They work, but ideally I really like the cheek weld you get from the triangular cross section of the SOPMOD/VLTOR.

 

All of my current stocks are great, but the edge goes to the SOPMOD even though it is a bit heavier, with the B5 Bravo in a "comfortable" second place, and the VLTOR stocks in third.

I have the Sully stock. It balances well with the 4x16ao scope I run.

I went with the ACE Skeleton 7", love it.

 

Mind if I ask where did you buy your skeleton stock?

thanks for all the feedback..

Considered that second ace stock... But as you are aware I'm just not sure... LoL

Why not keep the Magpul stock and make it a folder? http://www.lawtactical.com/product_p/2012201.htm

 

ACE is the place:)

My favorite is the Eliseo Spacegun Tubestock, as shown at the top of the page: http://www.gotxring.com/parts-accesories/

I've got one on my Match AR and it's as versatile as it gets, esp for a left-handed shooter utilizing multiple positions in a match.

The cheekpiece has 12 positions (turns on the buffer tube) to enable a solid cheekweld.

The buttplate is infinitely adjustable and two weights are included.

Slips right over your existing buffer tube and is pretty easy to set up initially using these outstanding instructions:

Nube to the ar world but I went with the ace arfx. I like the way it looks.

 

How about the ACE SOCOM  I really like this one.

leaning toward sopmod or imod so far.. 

 

thanks again for all the feedback.. 

I'm a big fan of the (Colt)Rogers Super Stock. One of the lightest stocks for the AR-15.

Good ergos, and tight lock up.

Not overly expensive.

That is cool for a match/race gun. I don't think I would put that on a social gun.

hard choice.. 

SOPMOD and don't look back.

 

County Issued Colt R0933 Commando with SOPMOD:

 

Dept Issued Colt R0933 Commando with club foot imod:

ETA: This dept gun now is wearing a B5 Bravo stock as it is as close to a SOPMOD stock as I can get and still fit in the rack in the squad car.

 

And yes, the dept gun is on semi. SOP is condition 3 (mag in, bolt forward on an empty chamber), hammer down, selector on semi (can't go to safe with the hammer down).

Over what and why?

 

P.S. HE, what's the deal with the Tango Down grip on the dept gun? Always looked weird to me.

First good question. I always hate when people answer like that. Give me a reason, even a subjective one for your choices. And qualify what have you used that you prefer it over. Have you used a SOPMOD? Or a B5 Bravo, or a VLTOR imod or emod? Give some some fame of reference.

 

As to the grip.... While the Tangodown is personally not preferred over the BCM or even the magpul MOE/MIAD it is a huge stup up from the standard pistol grip. The TD grip angle is more comfortable than the standard grip, has no finger nub, and it covers that annoying gap where the trigger guard meets the lower. It has a slim "LOP" and fits the hand well. If it was a little more upright and was a little beefier I would like it a lot more.

 

At the time we got the rifles the Magpul and BCM grips weren't on the market. Our policy only lists the TD as an acceptable alternative to the standard grip and I haven't changed the policy.
