Fit is entirely dependent on individual REs and stocks.

I already know what you are saying. The fit of the B5 SOPMOD on the Geissele RE is snug. According to what I've read, they fit snug. I'm simply asking if anyone has tried both and if they fit the same.

Could be the molding, could be from use, etc. Not really sure. |

Your SOPMOD may fit your RE snug....does not mean that mine will. I've mixed/matched enough stock bodies/REs to get a desired fit. |

My Bravos aren't snug like my older B5 Sopmod.

I have eight (8) rifles that have B5 Bravo stocks. Some are very tight, others not so much. I don't have any that are what I would describe as "loose." Another rifle has the B5 SOPMOD stock. It is nice and tight, but only a sample of one. As a rule, I think that B5 stocks in general fit snugly, but there is no way to guarantee that one stock will fit as snugly as another.

The B5 bravo has little spring tabs on the inside that put pressure on the buffer tube to eliminate slop. In my experience this makes the fit tighter across a range of different tubes.

The Geissele buffer tube seems to be slightly smaller than normal. Numerous Magpul stocks were tried and had too much slop. The B5 SOPMOD that came on it was nice and snug. We'll see how the Bravo works out.

Got the Bravo and it's not as tight as the SOPMOD. Tighter than various Magpuls. It'll do.
