New B5 stock on my G - Super duty precision AR

[Pappabear]

Shot my gun with this stock and its next level nice IMHO. I really think many SPR type rifles would find this stock very helpful. I did.

This stock is way more subdued in person. The pics make it look a little "much", but the gun was sitting on the table, and I didn't even notice it.

Thanks PB. Going to look into this one for an up coming project.

Is it just me or does B5 have an answer for every piece of LMT furniture? Of course, there are the SOPMOD and Bravo stocks, then this one seems like a direct competitor to the LMT DMR stock:

LMT sells two versions; one flush with carbine length extensions and one for AR10/A5 extensions. The shorter stock will lock up to the longer extensions but leave a gap. B5 sells three lengths of their precision stock; short, medium and long. Not sure if that's just length of pull or if one of them fully seats on AR10/A5 extension.

Considering the price of the LMT stock, the B5 seems like a great value. Does anyone have experience comparing the two?

Stick, do you get an early prototype? If you look at our pictures, your cheek riser looks like it has one more layer under the riser. Might be an illusion. Of course your pic is 10X’s better than mine. Do you know if your is AR size, med or large?

Let us know your thoughts.

Yea I got mine from PA weekend sale. Just got lucky. Based on others responses, it wouldn’t suck to have a spare to pop on other AR’s if I’m too lazy or don’t have my g gun with me.

Not Stick, but the piece you're referring to in his picture is actually an added piece that B5 sells. Appropriately called the "Cheekpiece" and sold for $20 for an additional 3/8" rise and some horizontal adjustment. Comes in 2 colors.

Any updates on these? I’ve got an SPR-ish build thats slowly coming together.

I, too am a bit confused about the three sizes. I know the SR-25 has a shorter cheekpeice to work with the longer charging handle.

Edit, I looked a little closer at the pics on the website. On the long version, it looks like the cheekpeice is slid forward a bit vs the medium. They say its optimized for side folders and side chargers. So, its a charging handle clearance and LOP thing, and medium is what most of us would need with conventional 5.56 setups.

Hmm, looking at the URL address, the short says AR10 and the medium says AR15.

[Pappabear]

yes, get the small for an AR15

I stand behind my initial enthusiasm thatches stock is very nice for a SPRish build.
