    Pretty decent price, considering LMT charges 200 somalians.

    Colt should be putting these on their rifles.

    These are great for airsoft guns, you can even use them on real guns if you feel like sanding down your buffer tube or the inside of the fake sopmod. If you don't mind having them stuck in one place than no need to even do the sanding. The latch will also require modification in many cases.

    These stocks were going for IIrc $68 a piece so apparently they just hiked up the price.

    LMT's website has info and pics to help folks who actually want the real deal SOPMODs and to ensure they didn't just buy an airsoft stock.

    I believe B5 has the current military contract.

    When you buy rejected military seconds, you sort of get what you get.

    See this is where college grads should stick to college threads and not military procurement related threads.


    There are lots of companies with military contracts, even for stuff we know of as one brand on the commercial market, who make stuff for the military. The gov is great at putting things in contracts that allows them to get stuff now, and when one company cannot produce enough stuff other companies are allowed to fill in.


    There are companies you NEVER EVER heard of making things like rail mount leaf sights, batteries, filters, and all manner of military hardware.



    Does that mean I'd buy a "second" from B5? Not really but they are not airsoft parts from China, either.

    Just to give an example I have a pair a ACU's that were made by woolrich, and I bet no one would be any the wiser or ever think Woolrich would be making military issue clothing. Along the same like a favorite libtard hippy brand Patagonia made a large run of special issue clothing for the military.


    When one company cannot meet demand usually other companies are allowed to make the product to meet the demand. Just because part XYZ was made by ABC for the commercial market does not mean ABC is the sole source military supplier. And I do believe the SOPMOD stock design is a Crane design in the first place.

    yes, it's legit. All those B5 stocks that sold cheaply were factory seconds. They needed to be sanded down in some places to fit. B5 has the .mil contract (I don't know if it's 100% of the contract or just a piece). There's another company making the KAC rail covers too. You couldn't tell the difference if it didn't say P&S instead of KAC. These aren't factory seconds. These are supposed to be good to go.

    This is 100% incorrect. The FIRST generation of these stocks that were UNDER CONTRACT TO THE USA were incorrectly sized for a mil-spec RE. That wasn't the companies fault. The prints that were provided to them BY THE GOVT were incorrect.

    The 2nd GEN of these stocks are 100% correct and true and have some rather large contracts with the Govt.

    These stocks were going for IIrc $68 a piece so apparently they just hiked up the price.
    The stocks that were dumped on the market a few years ago, went through DRMO and somebody bought them all and sold them to the public. The reason they were dumped was because of the above.

    LMT's website has info and pics to help folks who actually want the real deal SOPMODs and to ensure they didn't just buy an airsoft stock.

    Just so we set the record straight, no on the CURRENT GEN stocks being fake or not correct. The company that is making these HAS a USA contract.
