Just got my B5 in the mail and figured I would write a small "review"
This stock is tight! There is no wiggle, in fact it feels epoxied on once it clicks in place. Like other posters have said, it gets a little better the more I slide it around but still tight. I consider this a bonus. Overall the stock feels great. The aggressive beveled edges on the butt pad on the SOPMOD stocks allows the rifle to be rolled up from a low ready position very easily. The rubber doesn't snag on clothing but still nicer than plastic. The stock is fairly cheap 64$ at Brownells, which puts it roughly at Magpul MOE/ CTR middle ground. A great value considering you get QD functionality and other mounting options.
The most important factor for me is cheek weld. I love the IMOD feeling but feel like it is just a tad low. The B5 is higher but still allows for positive cheek engagement. The IMOD allows my face shape to come to a natural position faster but something feels a tiny bit off.
The molding on the B5 is good, no sharp plastic edges or seams. The B5 is longer at 11" from the endplate to stock end, while the IMOD is 10.25" using a standard 6 position buffer extension.
The B5 Bravo is 8.25 ounces.
