BRAVO COLLAPSIBLE MIL-SPEC STOCK FOR AR-15 Reviews & Ratings

B5 SYSTEMS BRAVO COLLAPSIBLE MIL-SPEC STOCK FOR AR-15

Building upon the success of the B5 Systems Enhanced SOPMOD, B5 has taken the features end users demand; offering them in a lighter, more compact, and stronger buttstock. The Bravo stock maintains the SOPMOD cheek weld, one piece anti-rotation quick disconnect sling mount, non-slip cushioned buttpad, and improved sure grip stock latch. The Bravo omits the storage capability of the SOPMOD to provide a slimmer profile and angles the rear of the stock ensuring quick and consistent stock placement against the shoulder and cheek. Made of Mil-Spec materials and finishes.

Currently employed by the U.S. military, this reinforced polymer stock fits M4-type receiver extensions and offers an improved cheekweld designed for increased comfort and consistency. Streamlined contours resist snagging on clothing, equipment, or vegetation to aid in safe and stealthy operation. Sure-Grip stock latch ensures convenient and intuitive length-of-pull adjustment, while the anti-slip rubber recoil pad secures the weapon to the operator’s shoulder. Features a black, stainless steel QD swivel mount and two molded 1¼" wide sling slots.

Best option out there

One of the better stocks at a value price. Always like to see Brownells look after the average shooter

It fit my rifle nicely

I don't know why some people were having issues with theirs, but mine slid right in the buffer tube with no problems. It adjusts just fine, and it's solid.

Good stock.

I'm overall very happy with this stock. I wanted a SOPMOD style for my SBR, but did not want a large and heavy stock. This one works well and has a cheekweld that is more generous than any of the standard, Magpul style stocks. It is definitely noticeably smaller than the SOPMOD enhanced or Magpul SL-S stock, but it's also noticeably lighter. I'm pleased that it does fit by buffer tube much more snuggly than other mil-spec stocks i've tried, but it also has just a bit more movement than the SL-S i'm coming from. I would not say it wobbles, but when placed you can wiggle the stock side to side on the tube. The adjustment lever on the bottom is easy to use, but I do wish it had just a bit more movement to let you know you're ready to slide. Overall it's a good stock and one i'd recommend.

Great cheek weld

Nice stock, like the cheek weld. Really helps out for snap shooting. I would definitely recommend. The only negative is that it is a little loose on the buffer tube. I wish it was a little tighter. Its not quite as loose as a standard carbine stock, but not as tight as other stocks that I have used. Other than that it looks good. Gets the eye right in line with the scope each time.
