WHY ARE THESE SO EXPENSIVE??? I’ve been shopping around for a good stock to replace my Magpul CTR. I have been mostly looking at the LMT SOPMOD but other than an enlarged cheek weld and battery storage…Can anyone give me more details? Maybe tell something I’m missing? I like the “friction lock” on the CTR but I like the cheek weld and battery storage…What does the SOPMOD for $200 have or do that the Magpul ACS doesn’t? Has anyone used a CAA saddle on an M4 stock?
I really like the SOPMOD, at least when it’s free.
To be frank, I think they are over-priced. I bought an ACS simply because I could not justify the extra $70 for a SOPMOD on my most recent carbine. In actual use I have no preference one way or the other, other than one option buys me more ammo.
What do you mean “buys me more ammo”? Do you mean you use the extra $70 on ammo? And do tell, how do you get the SOPMOD for free?
The CAA saddle sucks for hard use.
The EMOD is a touch cheaper and still works very well (and comes with QD swivels)
I have one of each… the SOPMOD is nice, but I wouldn’t have paid full price for it.
Get the LMT tube and sopmod…it GLIDES LIKE BUTTER:p
But is it as rigid as an M4 stock or at least close? I like my M4 stock, but there is a lot of wobble.
easy…
Go for a Vltor stock. I got an IMod and its awesome. Real solid lockup and no wobble.
Hardly any wobble, barely noticeable…at least on the three that I have.
Beat me to it. 
I have both an ACS and an SOPMOD. I do prefer the ACS. The length of pull is just perfect for me, running NTCH.
older Vltor stocks on clearance… fifty bones, black or tan, pointy or clubby.

same great SOPMOD taste, new low price.
Free Oakleys and an M4 too.
You cant beat that 
Yes, well, when I enlisted, the U.S. Army was much pickier about who they let into their clique…
Oh yeah, far less wobble, hardly any noticeable wobble once you make your cheekweld. It’s sooooo much better of a stock than the m4 imho.
in a bit of irony, those guys look like they’re actually joining the marines. i just pulled up stock photos, saw a guy with a green class B, and posted.
if you jump into that picture, you get no SOPMOD.
i was/am a huge fan of the stock… but like other guys are saying, they pretty much are way over-priced. i cant believe they haven’t brought the price down, now that there’s 40 other SOPMOD-esque stocks to chose from, ranging up from 1/4th the price… and GOOD stocks, not just cheap POS knockoffs.
now that i’ve finally tried the Vltors, i don’t know if i’ll buy any more SOPMODs.
Okay…let’s do a pole here…VLTOR emod vs. Magpul ACS
Bravo Co. just ran out of the black clubfoot…DAMN IT!!!
I’ve had a Vltor and thought it was a great stock. It’s a bit heavier than the Magpul (obviously), but if that’s not an issue then I highly recommend a Vltor.
this is priceless. Especially the guy on the right in the second row.
BTW, IIRC, the guy that swore me in was Navy(I’m Army).
I think any officer at MEPS can do it.
I would just spring for the ACS. Best case scenario, if you can hold off on buying anything for now, try to get yours hands on a rifle with one of each and see how they feel to you. There isnt much difference in the cheek weld between the sop mod and acs imo, especially not worth 75$
you’re right- i forgot meps is multi-branchinal.
