LMT Sopmod stock. Why is it so expensive???

Pull down on the latch, not the nub.
The latch pulls the nub.

The sopmod stock should come off the same way a regular 6-pos stock would. Like paratus said, pull down on the locking mechanism that you would usually squeeze in order to slide the stock to a different position. You shouldn't have to actually grab onto the little nub itself. When you pull down on the locking mech, it pulls the nub down further than it would if you squeezed it normally.

ooohohohohoooo you guys win. i phailz.

The sea smell like sewage?
because it am what it am.

Seriusly I'm Italian and grow facial hair like a breathe. This is the first foler that did not rough me up.
I love my SOPMODS!

Not true, same drop test for all Armed Forces. The Stock was designed WITH and FOR the Navy (part of the Seal and Spec Ops package), that is why it is named the SOPMOD (special operations peculiar modificatio) stock. LMT shares the patent with the Navy. Please post the results if the test showing both stocks, compared equally with LMT failing and others passing. You should not make that statement that flames a product unless you can prove it.

Here is the proof you ask for:

so what was the drop test? what where they testing for exactly?

The UBR passed the drop tests but was not yet released when the IAR was started.

The EMOD is a strong stock but it's main advantage is was the spongy rubber butt pad that decellerated the stock enough to protect it from damage.

If you still doubt it you can IM Magpul or DrDrake or even ask on their industry forum on arfcom
