[ARCHIVED THREAD] - M1A Pistol Grip Stock

Posted: 4/5/2006 1:46:29 PM EDT

Are there any pistol grip M1A stocks available. I would prefer a synthetic pistol grip. I know there are some great ones out there. But the ones I have found cost more than I paid for my M1A 15 years ago. I do have a Choate side fold with pistol grip. I find that thin Choate butt stock a little hard on the shoulder. Any suggestions?

Measure the butt plate, and inquire with Brownell's which slip-on shoulder pad will fit. I'm sure Pachmayr will have something that will do, and there may be other vendors. Alternatively, you could buy a PAST wearable shoulder pad that might come in handy with other firearms.

BTW, fit a section of closed-cell foam pipe insulation to the rail of the buttstock where your cheek rests. Very comfy, and much appreciated when the weather is either cold or hot

With all of the recent innovations in M14 stocks why do you limit yourself to a synthetic?
As for cost – nothing in the M14 world is cheap. Have you looked at the price of today’s M1A ‘s?

Check out the new JAE-100, the soon to be released TROY CBR and the battle tested SAGE EBR stocks.

HTH, and good luck with your quest ~

Check with Fred's they have them listed almost at the bottom of the page. Or did you not mean E2 stocks?

I like the idea of the E2 stock (although I think the design could use just a bit of tweaking to improve the curves). But WHY oh WHY hasn't anyone offered them in synthetic? I know that it may seem hard to believe, but there are a few of us who actually prefer synthetic over wood. And it'd be nice to get an E2 in black. I haven't seen a SAGE, or other modular-style, carbine stock that I could stand. I think maybe I saw a McMillan that I liked, but talk about expensive!

I quite agree, they are not cheap. I used to use a BM-59 stock, but now they are hard to come by. But after a while I discovered it was not really what I wanted.

I actually contiplated building my own, but by the time I added up the component costs, my time and the crap shoot that I would screw it up or would not like it I just decided to bite the bullet and get a Sage. What sold me is when I fondled one at a gun show. No regrets.

Do a search on sage here and you should get enough feedback.

No, I did not have the Nigeria model. I had a folder. It was the bottom one (#22A) pictured here:

But they are no longer available.
