There was a Vietnam commemorative in the 90's, that had just a stock.
It was one of those black chrome and gold wall hangers. It was the Power Springs wire type. Perhaps you can find one of those ? |

Those commemorative guns had the stock plate welded to the rear of the receiver, looked more or less 'correct'.

There are other pistols with the stocks welded in the folded position. My concern is with the pistol having the stock in the rear of the receiver. Even if permanently welded the folded stock is useless. It is merely cosmetic at this point. |

I can't imagine it being a problem if the stock cannot be open. There are plenty of "pistols" with welded stocks to maintain the pistol status. I'm just thinking it is an expensive upgrade as classic wire stocks are pricey due to low availability.

You would either need to cut the receiver and make the holes, or weld something to the rear plate. Either way, you're modifying the rear plate. And in either case, it's just sheet metal which can be repaired and refinished. If done well, I doubt either attachment method would substantially lower the gun's value. It may even make it with more, if done well. |
