Brownells Gun Techβ’ @CalebSavant gives us a rundown on why the B5 Systems Bravo Stock is his favorite AR-15 carbine buttstock. You’ve probably noticed it on “Caleb’s Hotness,” the gray AR-15 that features in many of our videos. The Bravo stock is made of high-quality molded polymer with subtle non-slip texturing. But the first thing you’ll notice about it is the large cheekrest area – larger than you’ll see on most AR carbine stocks. It gives a very secure cheekweld, making the rifle more comfortable to shoot, with better control for more accurate shooting.
The lever for extending and retracting the stock has knobby surface texturing that gives you a non-slip purchase to operate the latch quickly and easily. You can feel the texture even when you’re wearing gloves. There are sockets on both sides of the stock for pushbutton QD (quick-detach) sling swivels, plus two thread-through slots for traditional sling mounting.
Out back there’s a rubber recoil pad with subtle non-slip texturing. The pad is just soft enough to grab your shoulder firmly, but it’s not mushy. If you prefer, you can remove the recoil pad, and the polymer surface underneath has its own anti-slip texture.
You can get the B5 Systems Bravo Stock in basic black, Flat Dark Earth (FDE), Coyote Brown, O.D. Green, Wolf Gray, and even Multi-Cam. If you’re a Heckler & Koch fan or just want something different, you can get your Bravo stock in RAL8000, that yellow-tan-olive color found on the furniture of some H&K firearms. The RAL8000 Bravo stock is available ONLY from Brownells.

B5 or a Magpul with the libsaver grippy butt pad. Only two stocks with a damn
Why not provide a link to the item on your website?
can you put cr123a batteries inside or 18650 baatteries inside?
RAL8000 = Coyote Brown
The ral8000 picture is not there. βComing soon β
Tried to look at it, but no image yet for the RAL8000 color.
Another AR system video… Unless you're willing to spend $$$ in an AR platform, a good bolt rifle will match the accuracy for well under the price point. Very tuneable.
Stock seems neat. RAL 8000 is way too yellow, though. I suppose it helps
fedsglow like the sun, with their HKs (and DDs, etc.). They're afforded rights that they constantlytread onin our case, and our dollars pay to equip them. Something to think about. Their bosses also tell us that if we don't turn our AC off (and stop driving gas cars, stop eating meat, etc.) then we're killing the planet. Meanwhile, they live in moreopulence and depravitythan ever before in history; Again, paid for by our dollars, and their cough dealswe aren't supposed to talk about.We also aren't supposed to talk about the dynasties of the 1%, epstein connections, etc.Please research theWEF and their members, and what they say about taking our property and privacy away by 2030. They aren't empty threats from them, either; They're driving legislation towards that end and have been for decades.I have 2 B5sopmods and a B5 bravo. Great stocks. Good cheek weld.
Barbershop awareness:
donβt sit in the chair of the barber with the βcoolβ hair-trim, the other
barber (with the un-cool haircut) is the better choice.
as they cut each others hair.
Absolutely love this stock!!!
Best AR stock ever
I like the B5 stock a lot, but I still prefer a gl-core stock
Good stock, not a fan myself. I prefer some type of guard to stop inadvertently extending the stock while manhandleing the rifle during drills, belly crawling through brush and mud, tunnels etc.
I have a Troy Battle Stock with the same shape cheek weld and a spot with steel QD mounts and two storage areas, with two spots for AA batteries and a large spot for whatever.
I enjoy my BRAV0 FURNITURE. VERY STURDY, NO CRACKS, carries a lot of weight hanging off the M-Lok.
Nothing, and I mean nothing, no other stock beats the Magpul ACS stock. It is hands down the best there is out there. Minus one exception, if you are intentionally building a rifle to be the absolutely lightest possible and you've got out of your way to get carbon fiber, titanium etc. Related parts to shave off ounces anywhere you can. But shy of that, there is just no other stock out there that can compare with the quality, the cheek weld, the storage, the strength and the feel of the Magpul ACS. It is just unbeatable. It's lighter cousin the acs-l isn't bad either
Is there a video on slings?
those are the only stocks i buy love em
I've been using "BRAVO CO." GUNFIGHTER.
This B5 stock has really clean lines, and looks a little lighter. At 59 yrs. Old, I'll make things as light as possible. I'm still in extremely good shape- but I'm also almost 60. May have to upgrade.
I prefer the B5 Enhanced SOPMOD stock, but this is still a solid choice. I do like B5's products.
I WISH these were sold in a multi cam color!
I'm a man. Hair grows on my face. Those of us with sizable beards know how aggravating it is for your stock to yank beard hair from your chin. I give B5 stocks 5 stars for beard friendliness along with the Vltor line of stocks. The magpul ctr … not beard friendly, in my experience. Thank you Caleb for all you do.
I bought one and it was wobbly and broke. I sent it back and got Magpul SLS
great content great review: to tell you the truth, I would like to see B5 systems make a minimalist stock with a nice cheek weld. Kinda Like the Mission First Tactical Battlelink minimalist stock, but with the wide cheek weld
Iβve only used the Original LMT versions. I always had to cover the top hole with duck tape to keep my mustache from getting caught in the hole.
My favorite also.
There's no pic up on the site yet for the RAL 3000.
The milspec grip and stock are so great to start with I don't understand why anyone would ever "upgrade" πππππππππ
Haha I was just looking at these on Brownells last night
Seems like a decent stock.
My fav
My personal favorite general purpose AR stock
My first AR I bought at a pawn shop had a B5 systems stock on it. Definitely the most comfortable stock Iβve used
How did you know I was looking at this stock at 4:30am this morning?????
My favorite is the Magpul CTR…ππΎ
Caleb: "Go look for yourself…"
Me: Goes to Brownell's to see that the image for the RAL8000 pattern just says "Coming soon."
Your April Fool's joke was posted 2 days too late π
Does that stock fit snug on a mil-spec tube? Like Magpul moe SL does.
ππ»ππ»
There is no picture of the RAL8000 on your website as of the writing of this comment π π π π
Magpul is best !
Was gonna put one these on my not yet sbr
