Glad to hear that for multiple reasons.
I'll still stick with my SOPMOD though.
It's also cool that it's part of the Mk.18 kit. A small reason I dig it.

The VLTOR IMOD would be the closest thing to the KAC/LMT SOPMOD. The VLTOR EMOD and Magpul ACS stocks are both longer than a SOPMOD.

All the ones you mention could be mil spec stocks and on a kac lower I assume that is mil spec. While the stock could be out of spec, I think the best explanation is a commercial acs kon a mil spec tube.
All the other stocks that fit were probably correct mil spec on mil spec.

I can't comment on the SOPMOD, iMod, EMOD or iPod, but I do have an ACS and it works great for me. Absolutely no rattle whatsoever and at 6'4" with a long wingspan, I really like the longer LOP.
It's light to me (but my other rifles have PRSs and UBRs) and I just ordered another one from Palmetto State Armory (I think they are still having their 10% off sale which makes it the least expensive place I've found the ACS stock!
I have 2 SOPMODS and 2 ACSs. I like both but the SOPMOD is a sleeker design and a little lighter. For the cost, if looking to save some coin, I'd go with the ACS (Mine don't rattle).

It seems that for most here in this folder that there are a couple of nice alternatives to the SOPMOD, but that the SOPMOD is pretty much the leader for this type of stock. I'm not surprised. The moment I tucked my cheek into a SOPMOD I felt right at home and loved it, no grooves or ridges, just a nice ample and smooth place to snug my cheek into for the ride.
I have a feeling I'm going to wind up with a SOPMOD and an iMOD.![]()

The SOPMOD is the original here, but it is pricey. My SR-15E3 has one (the second I've owned) and I don't see it going anywhere. It is a high quality stock.
At half the price, the iMod is a great value - and you can still find closeout VLTOR Modstocks here and there at very low prices. All of these alternatives show that it is possible to capture many of the features that make the SOPMOD popular at a lower price point. But neither the iMod nor the ACS feels as solid as my LMT SOPMOD.
If the SOPMOD has captured your attention but you are looking to save a few dollars, check around the EE. I've seen new or lightly used LMT takeoffs sold there from time to time at a discount.
I've said it a few times now - these are all quality choices, and selecting a stock is like selecting a grip - it is a personal choice. Only you know what feels right, looks right and balances the gun right.
