Function wise both will work fine. If using the UBR use a H2 buffer.
Personally I'm running the VLTOR A5s on just about everything now. It really smooths out all ARs.

What's the construction of Magpul's proprietary receiver extension?

It's an 'entry' length rifle style extension. Also used on the 'Entry' RRA stocks and the Sully stocks.

7075 or 6061? Though it looks like it gains quite a bit of support from the stock itself.

I don't know what they use, I'd suggest contacting Magpul for that info.

This. I ordered it on my Noveske 18" Rogue Hunter. I like it so much that I'm going back and retrofitting my other carbines with it.

On a precision rig, either will do. The UBR is heavier out of the box, but ballasting an EMOD with some 123A's can make that heavier than loading down a UBR - but the default weight works in either.

If minimizing impulse doesn't matter as much to you in that precision rig, you can run a milspec extension and run the EMOD on that.

I really do love the UBR, but the EMOD is my other favorite stock.

Side bar, what kind of accuracy are you getting out of the lightweight Noveske profile? I was told by noveske, the 16" NST/Rogue Hunter gives up maybe 1/8 MOA and 6oz to the Recon.

But to the topic, I think it is a matter of balance. If you have a lot of weight out front, the UBR really balances out a rifle. With a 16" Recon and 12" DD Lite, the UBR really balanced it out.

My next build, I was prob going with an A5/CTR and one of the NST/Rogue Hunter barrels.
