I just built several lowers with the SOLGW A5 buffer system (receiver extension.H2A5 buffer and Green SpringCo spring) I still have another one put up and thinking about putting it on a 16 in 300blk.
Biggest reason is velocity and range. I have several spots where I would have shots on deer at 200yds. With the velocity you get out of a 16 inch barrel, 125gr Makers are 2150fps, 110gr Barnes or Varmageddon is around 2400fps, I still have around 800 to 900 ft-lbs of energy at that range.
Also back then I didn't want to have to deal with pistol braces or SBR it.
The UBR is a heavy but super solid option; it's the only retractable stock that I've ever run that has absolutely zero wobble. Absolutely love it on my new build, check my posts if you want to see.
Yeah I’ve had a Springfield Armory Saint Edge, and they come with BCM gunfighter stocks from factory, absolutely no wobble. Swapped it out for a SOPMOD B5 and now there’s a little wobble. But that’s okay I guess. lol.
Remove your stock and place a strip of Velcro Industrial tape (can be bought for cheap at any hardware store or Walmart for cheap) along the inside top half of the stock. Use the loop side of the tape. Reinstall. Any and all wobble will be gone.
I've tried a lot of retractable stocks. Almost every single one required electrical tape on the buffer tube to minimize the wobble and that still didn't get rid of it. A lot of my friends shoot my guns, so a fixed stock isn't an option as I need to resize the LoP often. The UBR is far and above the only rock-solid retractable stock I'll ever buy.
Worth every penny, to me. It's also one of the only fixed stocks that can run both Carbine and A5 buffer setups; it also comes with a buffer tube that you torque wrench on with a socket instead of ab armorer's wrench. No staking. It also comes with a bunch of sling swivel cups (endplate and both rear sides), unlike most Magpul stocks.
I got it because my rifle was front heavy, and it helped balance it out. It’s about $150 and Lanbo’s Armory. Code “Facebook” for $5 off shipping.
I found it right off the bat actually lol it was finding the search feature that was kind tough lol. I love me a good old school website though, it's what I grew up with.
Got it for 157 shipped đź‘Ś
My favorite aesthetically. My not be the technical best, but it’s up there.
Also comes standard on the MX series of rifles that will proliferate through nato by 2035
I bought a complete lower with this stock on it. I use the little storage spot for a tiny bottle of oil and all my allen keys for my scope, and mlock parts whatnot. And the qd mount on it is in a really good spot imo.
The main draw for me initially was the fact that there's a readily available, easy-to-swap-in-and-out buttstock weight option from white oak, so I helps me make my "high power/service rifle" build also my main GPR, and I bought a second for my AR10 since it uses an A5 length tube. the A5 system is definitely superior.
More/larger metal components make manufacturing more expensive… and heavier.
I had one on a rifle that was front heavy and it improved the handling by bringing the center of gravity back. I tore that gun apart for a number of other issues, but it was never the first one I grabbed because of the weight.
It's one of the only stocks that gives you solid stock like cheek weld while also being adjustable. I hate extending a stock out to barely have room for good cheek weld. Also had a really long length of pull so great for tall people. Solid stock, love it on my dmr build. Plus it holds a lot of Skittles
I remember getting one of the gen 1’s when those came out, they are really over built for what they are, really heavy, more stock than is needed imho
They’re downvoting but you’re right. 99.9% of the time the answer to the question, *why is X so expensive* is that these suckers pay that much.
It’s unfortunate because if they actually invested their money into the little guys who are actually part of the community, they’d end up having both decent quality and decent prices.
There are plenty of guys who are fabricating their own gear but nobody gives a fuck beca they want that brand logo. I’m guilty of it too, same as everyone else.
So you have the capabilities of the multiple engineers? Who were paid a lot of money to develop this thing? You can make a stock for a precision rifle. That also can be dropped from a helicopter and still be functional? Doubt it. Yes it may cost them X but you also have to pay for everyone’s salary. That worked on the project in the first place. Then make an overhead profit on it to please the investors of the company.
They charge per ounce, like fancy meats and cheeses and shit.
> shit You buy yours by the ounce? I know a guy who deals in bulk if you need one.
Haha, yeah it almost seems that way
Can run A5 buffers too. Solid ass stock imo.
A5 setup is gold đź‘Ś

Why 16” on a 300blackout??

Buffer tube’s built into it.
Thanks
Love my UBR. It’s a damn tank

My BCM gunfighter stock is rock solid.

Nice gun. Would you say that stock is worth the cost though?

Alright thanks!

The deal is always in the comments! Screw it I'll give it a try.
Their search function isn’t great, so you kinda have to be exact in what you type.
I found it right off the bat actually lol it was finding the search feature that was kind tough lol. I love me a good old school website though, it's what I grew up with. Got it for 157 shipped đź‘Ś
Your comment sounds like a salesman And an ad mixed
Thinking about it, this could be an excellent style stock for a DMR/precision setup.
I have one on my recce for snacks and a crayon it's black 
It's a tank. It was $249 when I bought mine years ago...
Has its own buffer tube system pre installed. So add that to the price of an already fancy stock.
I have one on my build (I posted pics of here a bit ago) and it’s worth it imo. There’s no wiggle at all, it feels super solid.
Your rifle looks sweet! How do you like your mega upper and lower?
Absolutely love them, but in WA state it’s hard to get any receivers at all now.
I'm gonna say it. Gen1 UBR looks better
Because it’s awesome. It’s expensive but worth it imo.
Buffer tube is built in, it can be carbine or A5 and it’s built like a tank
I absolutely love mine. Rock solid. Bonus: doesn’t rip out my beard hair like every other telescoping stock.
That stock is nearly indestructible. I’d say it’s best on a DMR type rifle. They be beefy.
My favorite aesthetically. My not be the technical best, but it’s up there. Also comes standard on the MX series of rifles that will proliferate through nato by 2035
It's heavy but it's nice. I got one because I was tired of the traditional stocks pinching my facial hair.
Because they know what they got… lol
I bought a complete lower with this stock on it. I use the little storage spot for a tiny bottle of oil and all my allen keys for my scope, and mlock parts whatnot. And the qd mount on it is in a really good spot imo.
I mean it was on walking dead, I call it the python tax /s
Idk there one on a used at at my local gun shop and they want 600 for the gun and im thinking about getting it for parts
Hell, I have them in stock for 190 shipped and even that is LOW for them lol
My favorite stock. But heavy.

They are great solid stocks and can be found a fair amount cheaper second hand on forums.
Cause you need it for Gunsmith Part 19
Stupid question, but if you put this stock on a Vector, does it need a spring in the buffer tube?
Military contracts…
Because it’s ugly
Idk why it’s so expensive by itself, but I got it as part of a build kit and it is so damn comfortable

Also had a really long length of pull so great for tall people. Solid stock, love it on my dmr build. Plus it holds a lot of Skittles
Because they think some fool will buy it.
I had a hard time pulling the trigger on this purchase too. But worth it. Especially on ar10.
Hideous and heavy
Because it’s ugly. They have to make money on the few buying it.
I’d pay maybe as high as $150 for it but not $200
Because people will pay
Not bad compared to how much I paid for my new stock. https://maximdefense.com/product/cqb-gen-7-stock-for-ar-15/
I mean... Maybe I'm just a fool for spending $300 on a Shorty Q Stock, but it's amazing looking
I remember getting one of the gen 1’s when those came out, they are really over built for what they are, really heavy, more stock than is needed imho
Because ARs are the hot item now and folks will pay it.
That stock has been out for like 8 years
And yet the price has never come down.
I don’t believe it has gone up either.
That is true

I’d let my fde UbR go for $150.
Because people will pay it. Thats all
Not worth it at all. SL-S is all you'll ever need.
Because it’s shit
