SOPMOD Stock LMT

I could not find anything on the site regarding LMTs SOPMOD stock ISFA quality and cost. I would like to replace my current civilian tubed collapsible stock and really like the LMT version but not the price. What gives here, how can a little bit of plastic cost $199? This is not a complete stock assy just the sliding butt portion with the locking device. I really cannot see more than $10 difference between a standard stock and the LMT version.

LMT mentions on their website that there is a copy out there, anyone seen or handled one of these?

Jumped the gun a little here and found this searching the web. Can you believe these stock are bought by the Govt for $13 each and LMT wants $199 for their version!!!

I hate the price but it is absolutely the best AR stock I have ever used.

I have been using them for about 4.5 years on my carbine and even used one on a MK12 for awhile.

199 is a lot but its the best stock going.

Take a look at the Magpul ACS stock. Very similar to the LMT stock except the lower battery compartment. KAC is using it on their M110C offering to USASOC (no KAC comments please ).

Both the ACS and the LMT have about the same cheek weld, the ACS seems a little heavier, but the ACS works better in the prone and it's far easier to access the batteries in the tubes.

It's available for $100 at several places.

There is no other source and people are willing to pay that much and more for them.

The LMT stock is intended for the milspec reciever extension tubes. If you are going from a civilian butstock assy to an LMT assy, it'll cost about $260 for everything. And yes - I paid cash for mine because it's what I wanted/liked.

It is a damn good stock. I pulled mine from my personal LMT M4 and used it for war.
