The stocks are nigh identical. 1 Remove the stock from the receiver extension tube.

2 Twist the battery tube cap towards the slot opening center of the stock.

B5 stock vs lmt. Streamlined contours resist snagging on clothing equipment or vegetation to aid in safe and stealthy operation. From active engagements to shooting off rounds at the range this stock enhances accuracy precision and fit. 3 Pull the battery tube from the buttstock.

The LMT SOPMOD buttstock is the preferred stock for USSOCOM Soldiers hence its name. A brief look around the industry tells me Im not quite alone in my preference. This buttstock is crafted from a durable polymer and provides a number of outstanding features which include.

Their stock is at a significantly lower price point. Once the stock is on the receiver extension then release the adjustment lever to allow the stock to fully engage with the receiver extension. Apparently surplus B5 stocks can be found for about 68 retail which is a lot more expensive than what the government is paying go ahead and buy 25000 and you will also get a discount but a fraction of the cost of a genuine LMT stock.

The B5 is not molded as good as the LMT the structural ridges are shorter you can see in the photo without me pointing them out but thicknesses are different in several areas. Another detail that separates the two is that the metal hardware on the B5 are color matched while the rubber buttpad seems to be the same between the two manufacturers. Both meet the US government specifications for the SOPMOD stock.

The LMT SOPMOD is the standard for the SOPMOD style stocks Ive used the B5 SOPMOD stock and the fit is just not there as compared to the LMT so I chose LMT for the quality and LaRue Tactical because they have what I need when I need it at a fair price. It locks up very well on the stock. Engineered for optimal performance the Bravo stock is the lightest most effective design of its kind.

In fact the B5 version has a QD sling attachment point which the original LMT did not. I am interested to see what other Mods they will release for it. CHECK YOUR CHEEK WELD.

B5 Systems Enhanced SOPMOD on a nicely equipped AR. Rubberized buttpad for a more comfortable and non-slip surface in your shoulder pocket. B5 has larger cheek weld while the Gunfighter is slimmer and has better lock up less snag points.

The LMT lever has a rounded trailing edge and a larger textured area than the B5. Military this reinforced polymer stock fits M4-type receiver extensions and offers an improved cheekweld designed for increased comfort and consistency. Military the B5 Enhanced SOPMOD stocks have helped thousands of soldiers make the most of their skill in the field.

For more than a decade B5 Systems has designed and produced milspec gear that professionals love. The B5 is about 50 of the quality of the LMT the B5 seems to be made with a cheaper type material which gives you cheaper type look and feel to it. Stocks are definitely a personal preference.

B5 and LMT are both official US SOPMOD providers and the LMT and SOPMOD stocks are pretty close to identical. Even with the QD socket in use it is neatly tucked away. We weighed the two stocks and found them to be nearly identical.

It feels good and is light. Many thanks to jdun1911 for emailing me the link. Posted by Arthur Williams III on Dec 28th 2016 This is the second one Ive purchased.

While many prefer a thinner stock for my shooting style and the way I mount the gun I am a still a huge fan of the Enhanced SOPMOD stock. Currently employed by the US. 89versus the 199 charged by LMT.

An official pick of the US. Very stable adjustable stock option. Comfort isnt a luxury.
