Buttstock preference?

[Shrillar67]

So lookin at new buttstock and Torn between the B5 bravo in flat dark earth, and the Magpul A-frame with the enhanced cheek weld. Any real noticeable difference in the two? Or am I fine either way?

If you want your rifle to sink faster if dropped in water get the Magpul. It weighs half again what the B5 weighs.

Given those choices I'd go with the B5 Bravo. (I really like the B5 SOPMOD Enhanced best. IMO it's well worth the difference in price.)

whats an a-frame?

I have a b5 bravo and love it fwiw. relatively light, slight angle to the buttplate(not too much), perfect amount of cheekweld IMO. Id suggest trying them out if possible as they may fit you differently. The B5 doesn't wobble (at least mine) if that matters at all to you.

The a-frame is the center cut out with the latch inside. I like the looks of both but wondering how the comfort of the two compare to one another

Did you come up with that name yourself? I've never heard of an A-frame by Magpul. I think you are talking about their MOE stock and there is a pretty big difference between them. I have never owned an MOE, but it sounds like cheek weld is important to you. I don't think the MOE is going to make you happy. Here's a pic and it is NOT mine, I'm just showing you the difference between the top portion - where your cheek weld is or isn't.
L -> R
B5 SOPMOD; B5 Bravo; Magpul MOE aka in AMillerology as the "A-Frame", and a Vltor EMod.


There's a difference, I'll say. I'm not sure why you chose those two stocks to be your down select...I've owned the Bravo, B5 SOPMOD, SOPMOD Enhanced, LMT, and Vltor EMod. I like a good cheek weld myself. My preferred stock is the Vltor eMod, LMT (when I can buy used and at a good price, B5 SOPMOD Enhanced and finally Magpul STR. I've used others SL, ACS, B5 Bravo but they are not my favorites. The Vltor has great cheek weld, it's longer than the LMT and SOPMOD-E and as a side effect, doesn't pull my beard hair out.
My apologies if Magpul has developed an A-Frame stock hat I don't know about.
So why are you locked into those two stocks? Price point?
What is really important for you? Weld? Weight?

I didn't really come up with the name a buddy of mine referred too it that way since it was cut out in the center. They seem too have a version of it that is enhanced on the cheek weld that kind of sticks out too me and would probably be lighter I think.

Yes weight and cheek weld are important too me though I think I would sacrifice weight for cheek weld. Also like you said about pulling in the beard that would be a big plus for me if it didn't.

I haven't checked out the LMT but I'll give it a look at now that you mention it. Price range they both were in my ball park.

I think this is the one he is talking about.

Does your friend also refer to a glock as a gat? Or a handguard as a barrel shroud? Dont mimic stupid.

After issuing both of those stocks, I found I prefer the LWRC Compact stock body
