Do it. They're so cheap that you can't go wrong. If you don't like it, then put it on the EE. I'll probably buy it from you.

Priority Mail is just about always 2 days, same with UPS with Midway it is worth the extra $5 to go UPS all the way. |

It's not the company but the mix of FedEx Ground and USPS. Optics Planet set me a scope that way. Was two days to the Dallas area in Texas and then a week going to 5 different towns in Texas including going to Houston.

However, how difficult is it to establish and maintain an accurate delivery day. I'm not in a hurry but schedule range and testing around product deliveries. My freezer and range will be here when they arrive. Oh; and I agree. When given the option I always spend the extra couple of dollars to upgrade shipping. My time (watching tracking) has some value!

FedEx Ground leaves a bit to be desired, I never order powder or primers and have FedEx Ground ship it. Since I have to sign for it,I request to get it delivered after 2 PM, FedEx guy leaves a tag he was there between 10-10:30. UPS is earliest at 4 PM, plus if I'm not there he knows which neighbors to sign for it and leaves it with them. |

Received my stock the other day. Compared it to my B5 Bravo, it's heavier (naturally since the bravo doesn't have storage)
Plastic feels on par with it, and is about as thick. QD Slind Mount does not have anti-rotation, but that isn't a huge deal to me. It has a little more wobble than the B5. Tested on Spike's Tactical and Anderson buffer tubes. Even if this isn't as good as an actual SOPMOD, it still seems alot better than a standard CAR stock for the price. I'm most likely going to use it on a SOPMOD Block 2 clone. Primary arms just came out with a new 30mm advanced red dot, so It's going to be one hell of a budget build. |

A difference I noticed on one I bought from a different supplier was the buffer tube. It had threads left full height further back on the tube than a standard tube did. You could not swap stocks to other types as the top of the stock would hit the high tube threads and not close completely.

Stocks were delivered yesterday per the revised revised revised schedule.
DTT = 12.0 ounces B5 Enhanced = 11.625 ounces LMT Gen 2 = 11.75 ounces B5 & LMT have same size / configuration of cross-pin-thru-the-nut holding the adjustment lever in place. DTT has a much smaller / weaker LOOKING pin / nut. DTT uses orange seals on the storage tubes (use to be a way to telling a real LMT from a fake...) B5 & LMT use much more robust storage tube retention method. DTT uses tiny "nub" of plastic that fits in a hole. B5 & LMT fit snug on RE. DTT fits looser on same RE. There are cosmetic differences too. I compared 2 real LMT and 2 real B5 against several DTT. Destructive testing begins tomorrow. I will not post those results. |

I would like to see some destructive testing results. I have to disagree with the $20 stock gets you a $20 stock. Yea the battery tubes are held in with nubs. BUT the B5 enhanced and the cheap ones both need to be removed from the extension to pull the tubes out. As long as they are secure and water proof that's all I care about. The texture is rougher, but I view that as a good thing. I totally agree with the locking mechanism though. That's why I am in for the destructive test....
