Decent AR-15 Collapsible Stock?

[CarbonSteel]

My sons and I built 3 full size ARs last year (A3) and we are building carbines this year. What collapsible stock gets the nod these days? I would like to stay at less than $100 each, a little more is OK if needed, but not much more.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

B5 Sopmod

Great stock, search around for the best price. Great cheek weld and a solid lockup

The best have 7075 aluminum receiver extension tubes.

I've used every non junk stock on the market. My absolute favorite is the B5 Sopmod Bravo. The B5 sopmod is almost the same stock. The bravo lacks a storage compartment and is a little lighter than the sopmod stock.

My second favorite is the Magpul CTR.

He asked for stock recommendations. Buffer tubes and stocks are two separate things.

I prefer the Vltor E-Mod Stock. I have long arms, and I don't shoot in a ninja suit. The Vltor E-Mod gives me almost a full inch greater length of pull when fully extended, over the standard M-4 collapsible stock. It also gives a much more comfortable cheek weld. The butt plate is steel reinforced with a nice rubber butt pad. It's an extremely rugged and comfortable stock. Here are 2 of them on a Colt 6940 Monolith, and on a Bushmaster M-4.

Anything Magpul is decent as OP puts it. Fit is subjective. The suggestions so far are all USA made AFAIK if that's important to you. We all know Magpul's stand on our rights.

Palmetto State Armory is hard to beat price wise. If i didnt have my A2 stock, I would consider this one.

Made in USA too. None of that Chinese tacta-cool [censored].

Good advise. Unless you need to store batteries the Bravo is a great choice. I have both versions and have never used the storage area. If I needed to buy another stock, it definatily would be the non compartment version

Another Magpul ACS user. Keep it stocked with CR123s for my red dot.....just in case. Haven't figured a good use for the storage compartment with the door yet. The "clamp" to eliminate slop/movement with the buffer tube sold me.

Thanks all for the information. I will dig into it and pick one based upon the overall features.

I prefer the MOE S/L, personally.

I have used:

LMT and B5 SOPMOD
B5 Bravo
Magpul MOE
Magpul ACS
Magpul ACS-L
BCM's new stock (forgot the name)

I like the MOE S/L because it does not rattle, it has a very good cheek weld for MY face (some people like the SOPMOD, some people like THIN stocks. The S/L is right in the middle. It also will not pull beards), it has a "protected" adjustment lever. It is EXTREMELY strong, and in drop-tests by Magpul destroyed the receiver extension before collapsing/being destroyed, itself. It has an angled "toe", which I prefer,and to be blunt, it also looks sexy.

That is my opinion, and why. It fits your price range easily.

*An MOE S/L(S) (Storage) is coming this fall, btw

The magpul ubr is nice if you ever build for personal use

 

[DirtyMoe21]

B5 Bravo is a good solid option. It's a basic SOPMOD without the battery storage tubes. Magpul makes good stocks as well, I use both.

In the end I went with the Mil-Spec Magpul CTR® Carbine Stocks. Solid design and function. Thanks all for the information shared!

I think that is the one I have on mine. Very happy with them.

For what it's worth, the Magpul MOE/CTR has become an iconic fixture within the AR world. Hard to say if emerging trends will ever take their place...

I like the Magpul MOE SL that came on my FNH FN15 Competition.

$59.95 from Magpul website:
