I am looking for a compact stock for my first SBR build. I have been looking at the following PDW stocks,

Troy
NEA
Safety Harbor KES
MVB Industries
LWRC Ultra Compact

Obviously the LWRC is the cheapest but I am not sold on looks. I like the looks of the Safety Harbor KES the best.

So who has used what, and what has your experiences been like?

Maybe not considered a "compact stock" but lightweight and I think more comfortable, Mission First Tactical Battlelink - I have put them on 3 sbr's and 1 lightweight builds in the last 2 months and love em.

On a lightweight -

I like the NEA. I'm currently building a 8" 300BLK with one. Nice short PDW.

The LWRC is the most comfortable in my experience, haven't used all of those but they seem to all share the same basic theme except for the LWRC. It's almost as comfortable as a SOPMOD, very nice.

The only reason I haven't done one of those is that I love the JP-SCS buffer, and those stocks all require a proprietary setup that's not compatible. If that doesn't appeal / apply to you, I would use the UCIW.

I came into one of the NEA stock system and bolt carriers at Christmas.  I like it.

I have a Gen 1 NEA with 4 LOP adjustments. It's pretty good but i think options like the troy and some others are just as good if not better now. At the time it was my only option.

Word of advice. I'm 6'1" and even at it's max the LOP on the NEA was very short for me. Also don't be expecting much of a cheekweld. If you want a good conventional stock I would go with the ultra compact.

The ultra compact is great. Small. Light. I have 3 now.

In arfcom tradition, I have both a Troy and a UCIW SBR.

The troy is shorter and unique, cheekweld is lousy off of the mini-tube.

Aside from collapsed length the UCIW is better. Cheekweld, tuning (available buffers) and compatibility with piston setups/any bcg.
