    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.

    I totally agree. I don't know that people are so much complaining as just reporting how their stock fits. If anybody is disappointed because it's a little too snug on 1-3 then that's just way too picky. I personally like it that way and it will always loosen with use. 4-6 are a little looser on my RE but I wasn't complaining. For $100 it fits way better than the VLTOR and I wouldn't doubt most other $100 stocks. Or you could deal with the hassle of the friction lock on a Magpul which still leaves some wiggle on most I've handled.

    The tabs on the pad of my B5 are extremely strong. I gently pressed on them to see if they would move but I'm not going to put enough force to break them unless it ever needs replacing.

    On a side note, people also have to realize that the dry lube on the LMT tube adds a little to the diameter of that RE.

    I have used the Vltor and Rainier Arms qd sling swivels in mine. They work great.

    My LMT's and my B5 all slide with virtually no rattle/wiggle, on LMT tubes. I think most people's problem here is Vltor.

    Well, I haven't been able to find out if these are *supposed* to fit extremely tight on the extension, but it sounds like a lot of them fit "snug". Mine isn't snug, it's tight. Almost tight enough that it has to be hammered on and off, but not quite. No problem, I don't like it and I won't buy another one.

    Regarding the comments about why anyone would ever want to put their stock in a different position...why have and adjustable stock at all? I understand that some put it in one spot and rarely move it, but there are reasons to move it. If I want to adjust it I don't want to have to wrestle with it to get it to the length I want, I just want to adjust it and move on. I haven't had a chance yet to sand the inside of my B5, but I will. I don't mind some wiggle at all (the stocks I usually use have some wiggle).

    As was mentioned, you can't please everybody. Some like the stock tight as hell, some like it loose, some like it in between. There's no right or wrong way in my opinion, so you have to buy based on personal preference. I just wasn't aware that fitting tight (not just snug) was the intent on these.

    +1 about the Gen I stocks being all jacked up. My unit procured these stocks for everyone and none of them would fit properly without a significant amount of sanding.

    Off the boards a couple days and miss a few pages of thread.

    Anyone have a problem buttpad or other issue with a stock feel free to PM or email me and we will get the issue resolved.

    On the buttpad we have already retooled and anyone that needs a replacement buttpad let me know and we will get it taken care of. The fitment issue has been isolated but one we wanted to correct.

    The sheen or shine of the buttpad has also been addressed and that too will be changed in future production. Other requested changes are also being incorporated.

    Regarding the fitment issue and as has previouly been mentioned a lil tight is always better then a lil loose. The stock is made to military spec that said the stock should fit snugly but you shouldnt have to beat it on. If you are having issues see above comment and let me know. Also, please post what receiver extensions you are using that are giving you problems.

    I like a snug rattle free stock and that is what we set out to do, we can lower our tolorences but that means more movement. There are a lot of companies that manufacture receiver extensions/buffer tubes and trying to account for everyone to ensure a perfect fit is about impossible.

    Keep the comments coming and if you have an issue please feel free to contact me directly.
