    After a few days of thinking it over I pulled the trigger on the Magpul SL. I've tried several different brands of stocks and Magpul has always felt the best to me. The BCM was uber tempting considering it would of been going on a BCM rifle.

    I'm curious to see what modular accessories BCM comes up with

    Not sure im my understanding is correct, but-

    the 6 position A5 is made to match mil spec stocks, but the 7 position is not and is made for longer stocks?

In this post I will highlight the some of the SL differences and why we designed it as we did. I will also answer any questions on the SL design the best I can.

    Length- The MOE SL is longer than both the B5 and BCM stocks. This is to allow it to fully collapse and lock on the longer A5 and AR10 receiver extensions.

    Regular carbine stocks hit the rear of the longer tubes usually resulting in the stock being unable to lock in the last position. This position compresses the pin and floats the stock between positions in an unlocked state.

    .

    Related, does it close differently on the 6 position vs 7 position?

    Finally got hands on with both. Love my SL. BCM was sold. It felt shoddy and was annoying to install. The SL felt quality and was much better made/thought out.

    Now..the above is an off the cuff tangible opinion. The BCM may well have the stronger and more robust lockup, I don't know, but for me, that is like saying the Ford 9" rear end under a pickup is stronger than the rear end under a BMW m3, so the pickup should handle better----completely irrelevant to the BMW customer.

    Now, I respect the lockup and engineering and light weight of the BCM, I just didn't like it at all either in use or looks or how it rattled about or any other aspect of it.

    Ymmv, try both!

    One thing I would like to see on the SL stock is some texturing or stippling on the underside of the stock, at least on the toe area like the BCM has. Not a huge deal by any means but it would help with slippage when using a rear bag or rear rest.

    Looks like the Magpul has a wider cheek rest

    I have the STR as well and love it. Helps me achieve a constant cheek weld which was always an issue of mine even in my military days.
