    I run CTR's on both of my SBR's. I liked the CTR so much that I replaced all of my stocks with CTR's.

    I read Jeff's post a while back when the UBR was first coming to market and I was fortunate to snatch one up and it sat in a box.

    I finally picked up a BCM mid-length and slapped in on one of my spare lowers and just didn't like how it balanced. I then remembered the UBR I had and slapped it on my lower and it was a HUGE difference in feel.

    I still use the CTR's for 14.5 and shorter barrels, but the UBR is king of the midlengths. I like the SOPMOD for a 16" carbines, but not so much more than the CTR to justify the price difference.

    My patrol rifle is a BCM Mid-length on a Noveske lower, UBR stock, Aimpoint ML3 in a Larue mount, a FUG, 6P LED in a in-line Larue mount, and a BFG Vickers sling. This setup balances really well and I can carry it for long periods of time.

    Since mine is a 16" n4lr middy, I'm using the Magpul.UBR and to me it's the "perfect" balance for such a rifle. Though I've "skeletonized" the stock. Then again, Your Methods May Vary accordingly so.

    Out of curiosity, rail or no rail?

    The thread on Grant's proposed flattop 6520 and a response I just posted got me wanting to play Devil's advocate....

    If you bought a BCM upper, BCG, and complete lower, installed an Aimpoint H-1 on it and used regular plastic handguards with a short rail for a light, and added the wonder-sling of your choosing, you have pretty much everything you need on the gun. If it still felt front heavy, according to this thread, you'd have a couple of stock options to balance that out:

    LMT SOPMOD, $200
    Magpul UBR, $265 (and currently unavailable anywhere except used for $300+)
    Vltor Emod, $120

    I couldn't help but notice, when looking for something else, that under ADCO's Shop Services they have:
    Contour Barrel AR barrel-under handguard or in front of FSB $65.00
    Parkerizing included in price. You must also select the appropriate assembly/disassembly service, if the barrel is sent as part of a complete upper.
    It strikes me that, in terms of cost, it might be more effective to sent them the barrel and have them make the balance correction at the other end.

    Found a decent deal on an EMOD and went with that. Gonna try it out and see how I like it.

    Thanks everyone for your input.
