What is most common or liked around here? I was reeeeeally wanting to get the nea stock but it's a lot of money, uses their proprietary bcg, and you still need to provide some components. I was also looking at the UCIW Ultra Compact Stock but it just looks like a cheap common stock(just shorter).
Any suggestions? I think i've looked around enough to know if there was any better alternatives. I just think the nea looks the best but its pretty expensive. |

I use the Mission First Tactical minimalist stock. It's very tight on the tube making for a stock that's even more solid than a friction locked CTR, while being very lightweight at 4oz.

LMT SOPMOD is what I've used for years. Haven't found anything that was "better enough" to bother buying.

View Quote The LWRC stocks don't lock up as tight as the magpuls with friction locks, but the offer a great cheek weld, good weight/size and price. I wouldn't count them out. They don't feel cheap at all once installed...can't say they "look" cheap either considering they come standard on $2K+ guns. |

I prefer the B5 Bravo, but also have CTR's and couple of MOE's that work too.

My previous SBR's have used Magpul STRs. I would love one of the NEA stocks, but no way I'm paying $400 for a stock even if it comes with a BCG. |

magpul MOE View Quote That's what's on all of mine, whether SBR or not. Call me crazy...but I've built all mine with the same build kits from PSA (although color may vary). I wanted them all to feel exactly the same when I picked them up, regardless of caliber or barrel length. So, everything from 4.5" 22LR to 6" AR57 to 7" 9mm to 10.5" 5.56 to 12" 6.8 to 16" .50 Beowulf (plus a handful of others)...all have Magpul MOE stock, grip, AFG2 and MBUS. Same reason all my Glocks have the same night sights and CT laser grips, regardless of size or caliber. |

Same reason all my Glocks have the same night sights and CT laser grips, regardless of size or caliber. Not crazy, same for me. I want everything to fit/feel/function the same within reason (i.e. all of the M4's/SBR's the same, but the MK12 or A2 is different). I've standardized on the Magpul STR for the SBR's and M4's, but I do have one B5 and its not bad. Phasing out my original RRA basic M4 stocks (see my EE post), plus slowly getting allAR's onto the same milspec receiver extensions for interchangability (stupid to not have done that from the beginning, but you live and learn) |

MOE. Cheap, durable, and they work. I'd love a NEA unit but it would be for the cool factor more than practicality. Maybe when I build a second 300BLK SBR I'll do it.

I use The CTR on most of my rifles. I just like the solid lock up.

LWRC Compact Stock for my SBR. Cheek weld is just as good as the SOPMOD, it's a few ounces lighter and an inch shorter.
|

SOPMOD but I'm used to it and like it anyway so I'm biased. Upside they have battery tubes which are handy for a copy of your F1 or 4.
|

I use CTR and STR mostly, sometimes Sopmod. Tried the LWRC compact and ultra compact, they don't work that great for me. Just got an ACS-L and it may be the new favorite. I tend to favor stocks that are a bit heavier, like the STR, ACS-L, and Sopmod, to move the COG back especially since I often have a can on my SBR's.

I have MOE and CTR.
The MOE that i just bought was so loose on any tube i have, i sold it and ordered an STR. I might make the switch to STR since all my rifles now wear magnified optics depending on how i like the cheakweld. |

Just ordered a UCIW stock from LWRC for $112.05 shipped (thanks to their Labor Day sale)
Going to put it on my 300 sbr. :-) |

VLTOR Imod, it's my favorite stock so far. Same but the Clubfoot models. I also have an EMOD and standard Modstocks. I am a Vltor stock fan :) What do you like better about the Clubfoot? I was thinking about getting one for another rifle. |

I'm thinking about getting a LWRC compact stock for my CQBRish SBR project. It basically looks like an updated N1/CAR stock to me. Seems like it would work well on an SBR and won't need any proprietary parts like the ultra compact.
I was looking at the B5 Bravo but the compact looks like it's a bit smaller. Anyone have any pictures of the LWRC compact on a CQBR/Mk1k type SBR? |

Safety Harbor is prototyping a NEA type stock currently. No mention of price yet.
|

I currently have a CTR, STR, and Vltor Imod on my SBR's. I really think I prefer the STR over the other two and may switch them all.
Although that LWRCI UCIW looks nice, and I may put one on my 7.5" build. |

How often do buffers and buffer tubes wear out? The tube has 5 positions and it seems as if quite a few stocks could be modified to fit if you feel the need. I plan on trying it as is, had a plan to modify another stock to fit the tube and may still do that at some point. |
