    The ACS I shot, was constantly rattling around, and seemed really loose. I could visibly move it out of position without pressing on the position release.

    i like the vltor modstock almost as much as the sopmod... therefor, i stopped buying sopmods- especially since the modstocks are now dirty cheap at $50

    have both imod and emod.

    depending on role I could recommend either.

    GP to long distance rifle, I'll take emod.

    SBR Imod

    I loved my SOPMOD, but didn't want to drop another $200 to outfit my fun gun. (First one was on my duty gun.) So, I went with the emod because it was about the same length, same kind of cheekweld, and a bit cheaper. While the emod balances out my 16" middy, it doesn't do so well with the SPR. I was looking to try and keep the two close together, but I'm seriously thinking about going with the imod for the SPR to drop some weight. For now, I've still got the emods on both guns.

    I would guess the one you tries was on the wrong sort of tube. A commercial ACS on a mil-spec tube. Or, the tube was out of spec. Maybe a commercial ACS on a cheap out of spec commercial tube.

    I have a nearly inexplicable love of the EMOD, it just works very well with short light guns and on my SPR for me, has okay storage, and after applying a pair of BCM Gunfighter stickers doesn't attack my stubble. I even like it better than my ACS on most guns because of the clubfoot profile in back.

    I'll probably end up selling both of my SOPMOD stocks since I'm just as happy buying EMODs.

    I am unsure if I want to go with the ACS or the IMOD.DSG Arms has the ACS complete stock kit for $139.95..Hard to resist the ACS for that price.Cant seem to find an IMOD complete kit for that price...

    Something was the wrong size as chadbag said. Likely a milspec tube and a commercial sized ACS, or an out of spec commercial tube.

    The ACS locks-up tighter than "two fat bitches in a hot-tub" when properly installed on in-spec equipment.

    I'm positive it was the stock, because I shot it on my KAC lower.

    Which I've NEVER had a problem with using

    Standard M4 stock (I own 3 BCM ones.)
    CAR-15 stock (My sister owns two, one on her DD lower. Looks sweet.)
    LMT SOPMOD (Came with the gun)
    Magpul CTR (Had one.)
    Magpul UBR (Borrowed one.)

    Those have all fit tight as gloves. No problems.

    What do you think could have been wrong with the stock?

    It's the only one of it's kind that I shot, so it may just be a lemon one. It didn't look abused at all, except for a small scratch.
    We miss you, AC.
