    Ya just one in stock

    I called around to a couple other shops to see if they had any and the rest had no clue who B5 Systems was .. LOL

    2 of those shops pulled them up to see about ordering and saw the price and said "Hey that's a good price, thanks for telling me about these .. I'm gonna order a couple for stock" LOL

    So ya no way to test another one ... And from what I read is what you say ... They fit nice and tight ... thats kinda why I am tossing around ordering one and crossing my fingers.

    We;ll see I guess ... I've got the CTR in the time being

    Just wanting to know what everyone elses experience with theirs was.

    I know most say it's your buffer tube but the ST tube I have fits fine on all other stocks and like I said I tried out the new Magpul MOE SL with no friction lock and it was TIGHT ... like almost too tight so I know the tube is correct milspec.

    You know if I decide to order the B5 Bravo and it still is a bit loose like the one at my LGS then I may just do this ... I hate rigging it like this but it may be worth it to get a nice new stock with the cheek weld I am looking for ... also I like that rear angle on the buttpad as well.

Is picking the fly shit out of a pile of pepper that important to you? How will a silky smooth, no wobble stock to extension fit handle a couple of grains of sand?

    I just recently purchased a B5 BRAVO stock and on one of my rifles it fit good with minimal wobble and on the other you have to beat it off/on with a hammer it's so tight

    I have two B5 Bravos and I love them, the only time I noticed some wiggle with the one is after my friend dropped my rifle at the range. (I was pissed) Its never been that bad though, and no wiggle from my other B5 stock.

    I have the B5 SOPMOD stock on my BCM HSP carbine, and it rattles. I'm not too irritated by it, not enough to spend the big buck on an LMT SOPMOD stock, but it's there.

    I have a B5 SOPMOD Bravo on a BCM mil-spec buffer tube and it is solid as well.

    I guess maybe some tubes are a fraction of a milimeter smaller or larger that gives different end results for different guys.

    But the thing that bothers me on that logic.

    The B5 Bravo is a tad loose with slight wobble ... but like I had said I threw on a MOE SL and Holy Crap that thing was tight as tight could be ... you would literally have to hold the gun down solid and pull on the stock just to get it to move on the buffer.

    So if I am saying that my ST buffer tube may be a touch small to fit the B5 Systems stock and it should be slightly bigger around then the MOE SL wouldn't even fit on the tube if that was the case.

    Oh well, who knows, guess I'll just stick with the CTR with friction lock for now as that fits fine and moves freely when unlocked but when locked is 99% solid.

    I do think though I am still gonna try and order a Bravo and give it a shot to see how well it fits.

    I have two B5's, they went on the tubes a bit tight and have just a tiny bit of movement.

    My Bravo has a bit of wobble, but not enough to bother me. I was expecting a tighter fit based on reviews I had read.

    I just installed one last night and it wobbles quite a bit. Tried it on another BCM tube and was the same...
