B5 Systems SOPMOD Bravo Stock Review

[plouffedaddy]

The Bravo is an offshoot of the Enhanced SOPMOD stock with a few differences:

-No battery storage
-Lighter (10.25 vs 8.25oz)
-Different adjustment lever (I actually like this one more)
-Greater angle on the rear of the stock

Pros:
-Very snug fit; almost like it has a friction lock (it doesn't, just trying to describe it)
-Cost. It feels like a high quality stock but it's priced around $60
-The cheek weld is very comfortable and repeatable
-Available in multiple colors and patterns
-Has a built in anti-rotation QD socket

Cons:
-Availability. Good luck finding one in stock these days.

Here's a video with some shooting, a comparison with the Magpul MOE & STR stocks, and a quick discussion of my findings so far with it:

I can't wait to get a Bravo in. Oh and I love the Hope and Change lower, that is pretty funny.

These are a solid choice. I love mine and it will be on my next build as well.

What do you like better about the adjustment lever? It looks like it does not stick out as for as the sopmod's lever, is that the reason?

[Andrew Jackson]

I will stick with LMT. higher quality, and battery storage.

B5 makes the sopmod stock as well. Identical to the LMT.

Yes, that's why. Either way I don't think it's a big deal at all but the Bravo being a little slimmer/shorter seems like a good thing to me.

You may want to stake the castle nut/endplate.

Perhaps when my perpetual search for a better endplate ends I will I just like to tinker and I've never had one come loose yet (I use blue loctite ) but I staked the one on my HD AR which is the only one I really worry about.

I have a couple of the MagPul MOE stocks. I find the check weld lacking on them. I have two MagPul STR stocks, for which I find the width a bit too much. I'm thinking the Bravo stock might be that happy medium for me.

I could care less about the battery storage for my purposes.

The only issue I see with the Bravo is availability.

Does it fully collapse on an a5?
