I have a few different ARs with different buttstocks and just don't see any difference. There are some differences in sling attachments, looks, etc. But once it's on my shoulder, I can't tell which one is on there.
60 bucks for a piece of plastic is a lot of money.

Well, it's a bit more than just '"a...piece of plastic". But that's your take on it. Other than QD sling attachments, appearance, etc., the B5, is a well made, solid, tough as nails stock. But the main difference is it's designed with cheek welds on either side of the stock, which I prefer for faster, consistent cheek welds. They especially help when running optics. Plus, it has storage compartments for extra batteries, firing pin, etc. as a bonus. There's a few other companies that make similar stocks as the B5, like MagPul. I just happen to perfer the B5.

It's just a roll pin, right? You might have to use something like a wooden dowel to push & hold that spring loaded shaft down from the inside of the stock so you can pound the roll pin back in.
