But still nothing on their web site about it. The only update for you is that it's apparently now available on Taran Tactical's new Dracarys Gen-12, which was just featured in the movie "John Wick 4" this year, as you can see on TTI's site: https://tarantacticalinnovations.com/tti-jw4-dracarys-gen-12-shotgun/ Unless you're willing to shell out the $$$$ and wait for an NFA tax stamp to buy the Dracarys Gen-12, I guess you're still stuck waiting. Wouldn't be the first time that BCM has spent 2 years teasing a product before putting it to market - they teased the MK2 upper receiver by giving a prototype to Larry Vickers back in late-2017/early-2018 timeframe, but the new upper didn't become available until the very end of 2019. You'll note that BCM still seems to be calling this stock the "Unibody" stock, which is exactly what Gary Tuers of XTreme Props told me it's called (he's the guy who supplied the weapons for Amazon's "Terminal List" series last year; BCM gave him some prototype stocks to use on the HK416s in the show). |

If the Unibody stock (current name) will eventually be called the SOPMOD Mod 3, then what's the Mod 2? Right now, BCM only has a SOPMOD Mod 0 (same stock I have on my BCM build) and a Mod 1 (the version with the storage compartment). |

And not surprised about the name - I always thought it was going to be called the Mod 2 SOPMOD. Looks like they sell it either individually, or with the MK2 buffer system. (Though given that the stock seems like it was made to run on the new buffer tube, I can't imagine why anyone would buy it to run on a regular buffer.) In other news: The new Aimpoint and Trijicon MRO mounts are also available now - BCM has been teasing those on their IG for a while, too. |

And right now, my Mod 0 SOPMOD works fine. I would only buy it if you are using or plan on using the A5/AR-10/MK2 buffer system. |

If you are not worried about the LOP and a standard carbine receiver extension, the only thing this really offers is just a better QD system than the other BCM stocks. |
