    The SOPMOD is the only aftermarket stock that interests me. Because of the price, I'll never buy one though.

    I used to use the LMT Sopmod stock, its a great stock. My new favorite stock setup that I have been running for about a month is the VLTOR IMOD stock with the new VLTOR A5 stock kit ( 7 position receiver extention / specially weighted buffer and the M16A2 action spring). The Vltor A5 stock kit comes with the EMOD stock. I like the IMOD stock better than the SOPMOD stock because it is a little lighter and the shape of the buttpad is a little more comfortable for me. This setup has worked perfectly on my Noveske N4 middy basic. It is even more smooth shooting and has less recoil than before and it doesn't even have a BattleComp on it yet.

    I am in the earlier September one (over Labor Day). Which one are you in?

    7-9 September. I will be down there on the 4th or 5th though. Parents live in Monument and Dad and I are going to do some shooting.

    I agree the SOPMOD is overpriced but I got one somehow in a trade, I also use multiple CTR's as well as a ACS and a new VLTOR IMOD because of the nicely contoured toe for high optic CQBish use.

    The SOPMOD is sorta old tech but it locks up tight, mounts nicely, and just feels much more solid than the ACS. It also looks cooler to me for whatever reason. They both lock to the buffer tube tight and work just fine, but I like the SOPMOD more for some reason. Probably not $70 more, but to each his own.

    Regarding the new VLTOR, I was immediately reminded of why I got rid of all my old VLTOR's in the first place when it started catching my facial hair in the holes between the battery compartment and the stock. I had read about it before my old purchases but I figured I'm Asian with minimal facial hair, however it still would catch on my tiny 1-2 days growth and give an annoying surprise. Maybe it doesn't happen with guys with real beards? Or beards that don't stick straight out?

    I use both the VLTOR emod and imod stocks and i have never had a problem with my facial hair getting caught anywhere on the stocks. When I first got them I tried on purpose to make this happen and couldn't. I guess i am one of the lucky ones.

    the stock doesn't do anything the sopmod or vltor dont do, it does feel cheep, and it's ugly. i don't see them on peoples guns much... i really wouldnt be surprised if they drop the line at some point in the future.
    Bro, you sucked the words outta my mouf.

    I wanted to like it, but it just seems more like CAA than Magpul.

    The ACS is the first Magpul product I ever regretted buying.

    I picked up a cheap VLTOR but as others have said, it tears out my beard. Combat is hard enough without the distraction of someone pulling out your facial hair.

    I like the SOPMOD stock alot, its just ****ing expensive. I run a CTR MOE over here. Never really saw the need for the regular CTR's little pressure thing and I need something with rubber on the end of the stock, makes shooting in kit MUCH easier.

    Anyone have the Tan/FDE version? I was wondering how light or dark it was. I know that FDE varies just curious how much. Thanks.
