Just putting together my first build and am wondering which stock you all prefer. Was originally looking at the CTR, but have also heard the imod/emod is nice. Any opinions on either? Also, can the Vltor work on a regular mil spec buffer tube, or do I need to order everything from Vltor?

Any mil-spec stock will fit on any mil-spec buffer tube. Any commercial stock will fit on a commercial buffer tube. You just can't mix and match sizes (mil-spec vs commercial).
The MOE is more popular than the CTR mainly due to cost (looks the same yet is 1/2 the price). I've got the MOE on my M&P 15-22 and it is comfortable. The B5 Sopmod stock is also a good value due to being very simialr to the LMT Sopmod which is double the cost. I have the original Vltor Modstock on my carbine and I like it. I'd prefer the E-mod, but it isn't worth the price to upgrade to me. If starting from scratch, I think that I would opt for the B5 Sopmod. |
| I have Magpuls only. 2 MOEs and 1 CTR. I like the Magpuls becasue they are smiple, clean looking, well built and do the job. I don't need the battery storage, cheek piece, etc. However, the STR is a fine looking stock. lol. I have the CTR on my 3 gun rig. The friction clamp takes out the woble. Otherwise the MOE is just fine. Any Magpul stock is better than a standard stock. |
| OK, I think I've eliminated Vltor for my buffer tube list and have it narrowed down to BCM and LMT. I think they both look really nice, and I want the BCM but it is out of stock everywhere. I contacted BCM and they wont have any in until the end of the year. I can buy the LMT right now. Any opinions on either? Ive heard the LMT has a coating on it to make the stock slide easily. |

A buffer tube (reciever extension) is a buffer tube. Don't get too caught up on the brand. Just buy a mil-spec tube that you can find in stock. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that there are only a few manufacturers of buffer tubes making OEM parts for all of the brand names (just like upper and lower receivers). |
