    Damn outstanding post!

    So, can we get just the straight gouge from the manufacturer?

    SOPMOD stock
    Made by B5
    Correct Gov specs
    Same SOPMOD that's being used in the Mil

    Am I understanding this correctly? Pretty much...it's a SOPMOD stock just made by a different company?

    Just wanting clarification directly from the "horses" mouth.

    Thank you!

    I will tell you this, reviews have been very favorable from everyone I have spoken with. Thats from professional door kickers, industry professionals, firearms reps/manufacturers, and joe 6 pack gun owners.

    The reviews will be forthcoming and will hopefully put the naysayers to bed. Grant has received his and he is going to be stocking them for a reason; to me that says something. We at B5 Systems know there is a target on our back, thats fine were the "new" kid on the block but we produce a great quality product at a fair price, a product that we stand behind.

    Im not going to say who but the B5 Systems Sopmod stock has been selected to be used by some of the biggest and best AR manufacturers in the industry. They selected the B5 Systems Sopmod Stock for a reason. We dont just produce a sopmod stock we produce the B5 Systems Sopmod Buttstock. From our 1 piece SS QD swivel mount, color matched hardware, to the fiber reinforced material, we strive to make the best Sopmod stock available.

    As for the legal mumbo jumbo Im not going to go into all the detail on an open forum about the stock but if you guys want to know ask. Feel free to send me a pm or email at mark@b5systems.com. In fact you can call me on my personal cell, 937.632.6309.

    At B5 Systems we are committed to the industry and committed to the end user, whether a firearm enthusiast or military/law enforcement professional.

    While the first two paragraphs depict LMT only trying to differentiate B5 from themselves, it is the bottom paragraph in which LMT claims these are counterfeit SOPMODs in the sense that LMT must feel they own the design rights to the SOPMOD stock which we all know is not the case as NSWC-Crane designed it, etc.

    Now the patent pending thing has me confused. Who's patent is actually pending? The .gov, LMT, or who? Because you cannot patent something you didn't design. I mean I guess you could, but I also think the government cannot patent something IIRC. So then LMT apply for the patent? If they did, I do not think that will stand up in court.

    LMT: Yes we applied for the patent on this design
    B5: Yes we applied for the patent on this design
    Gov: Yes we designed it and contracted with LMT and B5 to manufacture it and we gave them both resale rights to sell to the public.
    Court: How can either of you lay claim to something you did not have the original idea for?
    LMT: uh... dunno.. cause!
    B5: what they said!

    Court: you are both idiots and it makes sense why the government is dealing with both of you... blah blah blah.

    This info is very dated and has to do with the initial bad batch of SOPMOD's that were out of spec (due to the Govt screwing the pooch). So this data is no longer valid.

    Is it a Sopmod Buttstock? Absolutely. Is it the Crane/Mililtary Contract or LMT Sopmod? No. We want to be absolutely clear this stock is NOT the military stock nor is it LMT, it is the B5 Systems Sopmod Stock.

    When you build something to government specification for a government contract you build it to the exact specs they give you. We retooled, redesigned, and improved the buttstock that is available to you.

    The B5 Systems Sopmod Stock that is being released to the public is not the same stock that is being made for the military. The public release stock is a superior product. While the material used is the same mil-spec the stock has been improved by incorporating a textured finish, sure grip stock latch, 1 piece stainless steel QD swivel mount, color matched hardware, and available in colors other than black. There are also some manufacturing/design differences that makes the stock better.

    I've shot with both, as far as I can recall though, the Vltor stock is longer, so with me shooting NTCH it always feels to me like I'm in front of the SOPMOD.

    The price was always the deciding factor for me. I don't feel the SOPMOD is worth the ~$100 increase over a Vltor. This changes the game, though.

    FWIW, I've shot with facial hair (goatee) on a Vltor plenty, and haven't had an issue. Maybe when you go full blown Afghan beard you have an issue, but I never did.

    Do you mean Somalians or samolians?

    I like the SOPMOD stock a lot, and pretty much only use that or the Magpul CTR.
