as for the B5...
B5 Systems is a good value. I believe that when they first appeared on the market, they released the SOPMOD stocks which were rejected by the U.S. Army (even though they were the ones who provided the specs) and they had some fitment issues. B5 currently sells the Bravo and SOPMOD for half the price of the LMT. I don't own any B5 products but the ones I did try were good. IMO my LMT SOPMODs fit tighter and were better constructed than the B5's I have handled. Not sure if it was the fact that my LMT SOPMODS were mounted on LMT buffer tubes but many have reported great fit on the current B5's.
So if you want value, the B5's are good alternatives. If you don't need the battery tubes and want a little more weight savings, get the B5 Bravo. As for me, I'm sticking with the LMT SOPMOD!

Thanks DRMW for the review of the LMT DMR stock. Looks well made and interesting to see how this compares to the Magpul PRS. I like the fact that the LMT utlizes a carbine buffer so IMO it's more flexible to switch between a carbine/SBR configuration and ...

I prefer my M1A over the AR10/LR308's. The cool thing about the LR308 platform is that it is just like the AR15's,lots of aftermarket parts and modularity. -MW ...
That is a good point

Love the M1A but you make a good point about modularity with the AR platform. BTW, have you seen the new version of the LMT Sopmod stock? I have the original and it's great but I heard that there are small updates to it. And then there's the B5 version th...

Appreciate you looking Mikey! As you noticed, the Magpul PRS is a great stock but on the heavy side, the DMR is much much lighter. Since you have a LMT 308 MWS, the DMR stock drops in (they sell a full kit or just the stock...in your case get just the 308...
Very informative reply!

I applaud your extensive knowledge on firearms and the AR platforms. Much to learn for someone like me! I am not sure I really need a precision stock on my LMT. I do like the SOPMOD it came with. But I would still like to see one of these DMRs up close. T...
