I use it on position 4, so that's not a big issue. I've never handled an LMT stock, so I have no base to compare it to. I like the cheek weld I get, and the texture of the stock. If the buttpad stays on, I'll be happy. If it gives me any issues, I'll contact B5.
    Mine has the same production date and similar issues (as previously discussed). Our stocks seem to be more isolated cases (compared to others w/ no problems), but worth noting if/when we need to talk to keller @ B5.

    I've been breaking my stock in (opening/collapsing repeatedly) and have added a little grease to the extension which has helped some. The real issue that seems to potentially need keller's attention would be for a butt pad replacement. I haven't talked to him yet about this, but he's been super cool and very responsive so far in this thread.
    Life is full of choices. I choose Noveske.

    I don't think it's being picky to want something new to work "right," but that's just me. I also need to collapse my stock regularly to fit in my range bag, so I need it to slide/adjust without herculean effort.
    well for $100 more you can get the LMT...

    All of my LMT sopmods have been extremely tight, especially when getting closer to the receiver. It's just how they're designed. I prefer the stocks to be tight than to fit sloppy anyway. When collapsed the stock is about 8 inches out, which is perfect for most people.

    What exactly is making it super tight near the most collapsed settings

    Tried my LMT last night again... it too was really tight near the fully collapsed pos on a VLTOR A5 receiver extension.

    I have to ask the question, don't you guys just put it in one position and basically leave it there?

    Remember that you cannot have your cake and eat it to. If you want NO RATTLE, the stock has to be tight. If you want it to slide easily, there will be some rattle/movement.

    No kidding. I almost never adjust a slider unless it's someone elses gun that doesn't fit me.

    Yes, I do. That is why it's not really a big deal for me if it's tight on my RE. I was just surprised at how tight it was. My stock stays in position 4 unless something really extraordinary happens.

    My only real concern with this stock is the buttpad not being completely secure on the stock. I don't want to lose it.

    WRT adjusting the stock, it's probably true that some people put it in one setting and leave it there. However, there are some folks who have to routinely re-configure the gun for storage, such as in a patrol-rifle rack (which is sometimes fighting for space with lots of other equipment and gear) or a storage bag (when brought daily in and out of a storage rack). In those circumstances, it's understandable to not want to fight the slider each and every day.

    As Grant pointed out, there's no free lunch.
