There has been a recent influx of these "New in Bag" LMT SOPMODs. They are being sold here by mostly non-dealers for $150 - 175. I've also seen the exact stock being sold on E*** for much less. How can these be legitimate LMT stocks and still be so cheap? These pics were borrowed from an E*** ad with a bid of $50. How can they possibly be authentic? Thoughts?
ETA: Mods - If this needs to be moved elsewhere... please do. Thanks |
| They are legit LMT stocks, the reason they appear to be going for somewhat cheaper prices is because they probably been "liberated" from Uncle Sam for lack of a better word by military personel or civilians working for the military. You can go on ebay and see Matech sights, Surefire M951 flashlights, LMT SOPMODSstock...ect all over there and a lot are from locations near military installations. oh yeah and I agree completely with the others above, LMT SOPMOD stocks are waaay overpriced for what they are, seems most just buy them for the "cool" factor, I myself use VLTOR stocks on my M4's |

Can't stand a loose stock. |
| One other thing.........These (if they are real LMTs) are generation 1 without the QD swivel hole!!! I know that some think that these are overpriced, but, you get what you pay for! I really like mine and between it and a 'standard' loose collapsible stock, there is no comparison. The stock makes a great cheek weld and doesn't have any areas that might catch facial hair. |

I've gotton so used to my SOPMODs that I'm hard pressed to be satisfied by anything else. I prefer a tight stock. So all mine are LMT with the exception of one CTR, which is also a tight stock. FWIW - A friend bought one of these cheap LMTs and I compared it with mine. They are identical with the exception of his patent number being in a slightly different location than mine. The patent numbers were also identical. |

I bought one just like that, from the same seller. And it is real, its not a fake, and ita VERY tight on my LMT buffer tube. And thats the way I like it.
I paid $160 shipped, which I thought was a pretty good price. Though, as stated before, why on earth are they so expensive compared to others when its the same material? None the less, i love mine
