For the record, we have some of these stocks coming for T&E. We will also be a distr. for them and will offer some cool package deals.

I have been running a KAC/LMT SOPMOD since day one and still consider it the best or one of the best stocks ever designed. So I will give you guys my input on its quality compared to the KAC/LMT version.

Badass.

Just what I wanted to hear.

My credit card is waiting on your review!

… now if you’d just get more black or tan padded VCAS slings in, I could grace you with even more cash.

Cool let us know.

Does anyone know for sure that lmt/kac lost the contract to make these or if they are just being sourced from multiple providers? Also doesn’t b5 make the front kac stile grip as well for the military?

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.

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.

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.

C4

How do you tell the difference between the bad gen’s vs the current good gen’s?

[Trajan]

If only these came out a year ago…

Wonder how these will effect other similar stocks, like the ACS and Vltor.

@armakraut

Colt should be putting these on their rifles.

I’ve heard that somewhere before…

[Failure2Stop]

The only reason I used any stock other than the SOPMOD on serious guns was the price.
This bodes well for my rifles if I can get them for less than the cost of the ACS (which I do like BTW).

I believe the first ones that did not have the correct specs don’t have the QD swivels and were based off the early sopmod. The corrected ones have the qd swivel. Also the ones that were not sized right were only black if I’m not mistaken.

I’m sure someone can chime in to verify.

[Joe_Mamma]

@C4IGrant

Yes (from what I understand). It is also my understanding that other .Mil groups are interested in these as well. So we will see more contracts with others I think.

C4

Does anyone know why KAC and LMT lost the contract?

I’m gonna be looking forward to you review on them. I’ve been thinking about getting a new stock for a while. Although i’ve heard they have some sharp edges on them.

I’m not sure if anyone verified lmt lost any current contract of it they are just being sourced through multiple vendors.

Past that I’m guessing b5 underbid them.

Frankly, I’ll stick with Vltor stocks.

I used to avoid looking at SOPMOD stocks until I started hunting for deals. You can find them for under $100 new/used if you look hard enough. I bought one used on TOS for that price, and I recently bought a genuine LMT stock on ebay for $75.

I like the ACS too. Shrouded latch, friction lock and ability to change to extended or shorter buttpads:what’s not to like?

Still might have to buy one of the B5 SOPMOD stocks if the price is right.

I’ll definately be down for one once we get word from Grant on them, have been looking to replace my rattletastic vltor modstock for awhile now.

@yunggunz

Diameter of the RE hole would be my first guess.

The way to make CERTAIN that you are getting the latest GEN is to buy it from us.

C4

[C4IGrant]

Got three of these in for review.

My initial impression is that they are well made and almost identical to my LMT’s.

Tried them on three different RE’s (Colt, LMT and BCM). All fit perfectly and were tight (read no rattle).

Pics and more thoughts later…

pure speculation, but like KAC rails, they were the only game in town years ago, now you can hardly give them away. I’m sure Uncle Sam is looking for ways to save money and buy the same cheaper.

For quality and value, the Imod is hard to beat in my opinion. Although I have 8 LMT stocks in my inventory–and a few Imods’s:cool:

Just do yourself a favor and buy these from Grant or other established dealer/respected seller, so you don’t get ripped off buying a fake.

[Duffy]

Grant, please let us know when you will carry them. I ordered one from rptactical, they won’t have it in stock till next week, and they won’t ship to certain states.

[m4brian]

What IS the advantage of the SOPMOD over the VLTOR Imod?
