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.

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?

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
Went from LMT SOPMOD Gen2 to BCM... appreciate the weight loss and slimness.

the Magpul stock is replacing all my CTR stocks, it locks up amazing Sleek and works very well with my armor

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.
