Been thinking about doing this for awhile and finally got around to it....thought i would share it and see what everybody thought.Started with a LMT GEN 2 STOCK then ground off the checkering on the back.Got a 1/2 in Pacmyer recoil pad and glued it to the stock using GORILLA glue.After it set up for 4 hours i used my belt sander to take off the over hang.Before i had installed the recoil pad i had also cut about 1/2 in off the bottom of the stock.Filled in the sling swivel hole with ACRAGLASS with black dye and let it set upover night.Then i sanded everything to try to get everything uniform.Then i bead blasted the intire stock to make it all look uniform.Alot of work but it feels great.........The reason i did this is because i just never liked the way the slip on pads felt or looked.

Nice job.........will Gorilla glue be enough?......is "glue" enough of an attachment?

My other hobby is rock crawling and I could not mount my Ford Motorsports tach except to the dash. Well the screws would just pull out of the dashpad so I tried Gorrila glue.... That is some serious stuff!! It has held for a year and 2 roll overs. To keep this AR related, this is my rig I use to dissappear deep into the woods when we want to go through several hundred rounds without attention...

I have known zander829 for years and he does excellent work.

I was considering one of the newer slip on pads off the EE when he told me about this project. I have always hated the way the factory stocks slide around on your web gear and flak vest/IBA. Something about polymer against nylon seems to render the factory applied checkering useless. I think this will provide a better grip and is a cleaner looking alternative compared to ANY slip on pad. I especially like the way he used acra-glass to fill in the mounting holes for the otherwise useless swivel that everyone removes.

Great job,

Wpns Man

Looks great!
What are you going to charge to do others?

Posted: 11/7/2004 8:13:59 AM EDT

[#22]

Its way too time consuming to try and do it for others...sorry.

That would be a nice mod for guys who run AR15 stocks on shotguns.
