From the Dept. of Too Much Time on My Hands:After seeing
Total Silence's XM607 Stocks,
I decided I could make a cheaper,crappier version...
Thanks to some fine deals on the EE, I picked up an old A1 and a CAR stock
and tried to see what happened "If they Mated"
First, cut the notch out with a hacksaw and a sharpened screwdriver...
Then, hacked up the CAR:
(insert joke here)
Checking the fit:
rattle is somewhere between a MagPul and a broken tailpipe...
It fits!
The index pin is original. I tapped threads into the A1 Sling and eyeballed where I should drill...
Close Enough.
All six positions work on the 6 pos. buffer tube, but it gets kinda wobbley toward the end.
Final Glory Shot:
About as retro as I can get this thing right now!
Anyone know if those removable A1 carry handles are still available?
Would be interesting blend of old & new...
I'm not quite done, I need to trim the butt some to help smooth the lines,
Maybe shoot some Great Stuff in there to firm it up.
4lb Urethane Foam would be cool, but I'm a cheap bastard...
I know this is pure retro novelty, but I though y'all might enjoy it!
Thanks for lookin'!
