I'm looking for a good 6 position collapsible stock. Looking at either LMT or Magpul. I'm just looking for a standard one. The one I have now has a lot of play in it. I need one that's good and tight and will be able to take some punishment. Any recommendations would be great. If you have actual experience with one i.e. use in field conditions and how it held up, that would be a big help. TIA

I have the SOPMOD thats on my LMT M4

ROCK SOLID and FEELS THE BEST

On my back up LMT M4 with Bushy lower I used a VLTOR 1st model  ( YUCKY )


I would love the NEW VLTOR its made like the SOPMOD sort of?
Has a better feel and CHEAPER than SOPMOD


MAGPUL is nice  also?




New VLTOR TELE or The OLD SOPMOD

Thanks for the info. The LMT SOPMOD is a little expensive for my taste. Recently saw the new E-Mod VLTOR. I like that one so I might just go ahead and get it, if I can find one in stock. From what I've read on here it seems to have a good lock up and looks beefy enough to take some punishment.

I recently got the Choate stock kit and love it!  It's half the price of the LMT kit and seems sturdier.

to get rid of the play and a good solid stock, there's nothing better than a magpul CTR.

I've got a Sopmod and a CTR, I like them both but for the money the CTR is the way to go.

The CTR is the best stock out there right now for those who want a solid replacement for the factory collapsable. The CTR locks up tight, no rattle no movement, and it has the QD point built in.

The SOPMOD and VTOR modstocks are very good stocks, but the storage compartments aways feel to bulky. YMMV as I shoot NTCH

+1 Magpul CTR

I have both and like the feel of the LMTs the best, but as far as solid lock-up and value- the CTR is tops.  Get the rubber pad with it and it is very GTG.

I just prefer the wide cheek weld of the LMTs, but they are very expensive.

I want to get rid of my VLTOR myself

I like the VLTOR. It feels comfortable for me. Maybe my truth is not your truth...

I much rather have the NEW VLTOR
mine is a regular VLTOr for a carbine
its a LITTLE loose compared to the ROCK SOLID SOPMOD


Other than that its Okay

Nothing beats the SOPMOD in my opinion.  Even with all the new stocks coming out.

Another CTR vote. I have three.

I like the CTR quite a bit.  Specifically I like the geometry of the buttplate. The hourglass shape seems to fit my shoulder pocket better.  

Most of the time I shoot using the Vltor clubfoot stock. (It's on my carbine that I have the most experience with.)  I've had no issues with the older Vltor.  Some may say that it's loose, but I never seem to notice while shooting.

Thanks for the help guys. I just ordered the EMOD from Alamo Tactical. Good price and he had some more stuff that I needed.
