If brownells still limits orders to Canada at $100 for gun parts then a $120 won't be shippable, even if the manufacturer has an export permit. I thought that congress passed some piece of legislation that raised the limit to 500. What has happened with that?
 
Magpul UBR (and my personal favourite) for the win...
Drop Test Performance: It’s hard to place the UBR in the same class as those that use a standard receiver extension, but since the stock is obviously handicapped by its substantial weight and high price I don’t feel it’s necessary to do so. The UBR is unquestionably strong, so strong that even in its death throe it reached out and claimed the life of an innocent GoPro camera we tried to use to document the stock’s demise. It took a ten foot drop to kill it; and that was after two-hundred 3-foot drops. The failure point was the rail channels that hold the upper part of the stock as it slides open and closed. The rail is made from polymer with a metal core that can be seen in the damage photos. When the polymer split, it allowed the upper portion to ride out of the track, seizing up the mechanism.

Yea I'm amazed at how strong the polymers are that Magpul uses... I remember having to shave an enhanced MOE trigger guard down because it didn't fit in the Vulcan Armament lower... tried cutting it with a Multi-Crafter tool from Canadian Tire, and it wore out the blade! Spent about an hour filing it down and shaving off a couple of centimetres!
 
The B5 stocks will be imported into canada by defence optics group
We will have retail and wholesale pricing next month when they arrive.

The B5 SOPMOD stocks are made with what seems like a cheaper plastic. Rougher finish, from what I could tell handling one for a minute or two.

Of course it's a third of the price...

I love the UBR stocks. Really heavy duty, and they look sharp. Nobody seems to carry them in stock though. Ive been looking for one in black for a while now.

ATRS, Saskatoon Gunworks, OST, Wolverine Supplies - one of those should have one. They certainly are heavier, though - so if you're looking for a lightweight CQB setup a standard MOE or CTR might suit you best.

OST and Wolverine are sold out. Never thought about ATRS, and they are local.

Im looking for a heavier stock to put on my 870 Police mag with the NEA stock adapter I got at TSE. It should balance out quite nicely. :)

I wish OST had stock. Their website says they are selling for $100 less than anyone else.
