Do you guys think it is really worth it to pay a premium for the new LMT SOPMOD gen II with the qd swivel attatchment?? Or would you just get the gen I and pay less? I'm currently faced with this dilemna..... I have read that you can actually get an adapter for the Gen I so you can attatch a sling. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated

I picked up a complete gen 2 sopmod kit off the EE for 175 shipped, and I have seen gen 1 stocks (only) go for 150, so my advice woud be to hit the EE, you never know

It depends on what your sling setup is.  I don't really like having a sling attached to me stock.

I have a Gen1 that works fine. My rifle has a QD on the lower and thats what i mount too. It really depends on what feels good for you and what type of sling you have or looking to buy. Gen1 or 2, you'll love the cheek weld you get.

I have both the gen 1 and the gen II. I like the Gen II better as I do run QD attachments on all my guns. On my Gen. I I am using the MI QD attachment. It works fine but its another part. As for cost my Gen I came with the gun and the Gen II was given to me.

I agree. Also, does it have to be a Sopmod? I have a Vltor that gives a great cheek weld, has storage for batteries and what not, comes standard with a sling swivel and cost half as much. You should look into it.

ps. And I have a beard and no it doesnt get caught in it contrary top popular belief

Personally I like the quick detach on my Gen2 stocks.  You could buy a Gen1 on the cheap, and then get the adapter.  I saw them on here a while ago, it screws to the stock and essentilly makes it very similar to the Gen2. Not sure who made them or was selling them, but they were inexpensive.  It may have been Gear Sector?? Somebody should know what I am talking about and be able to lead you in the right direction. Like I said, I love the Gen2, but I'm not sure I would buy one new for $200. One came on a complete rifle, and one came on a lower I bought, otherwise I may not own them,..

KAC, GG&G and MI all make the sling adapter that will work on the original SOPMOD, the MI unit is a clone of the KAC adapter.

Gear Sector carries an adaptor as well.

Personally, I'd get the Gen 2 just because I like to be able to take the sling off easily.  I have run a Gen 1 like this, though.

How do you like running the fixed irons behind your aimpoint?

I love it.  In fact, I'm not even running an Aimpoint at the moment.
