Definitely gonna need more review than this, stop being a tease and put out.   I think they should fill in the area of the receiver heel with the top rail section so it's more flush and defined with the lower stock section instead if leaving it open there. It looks too strange to me and an additional crevice to catch dirt and brush up inside. You could also then put another pin or other attachment point for the top rail there to the lower for even a better and stronger connection of the two pieces together. I don't need to the see the receiver heel myself or want to in this stock and that area isn't open on an AR or M4, why leave it open here. For the top rail to fill in that area more flush, connect more and rest with a pad on the receiver heel should be all the better for the platform. |

Gotta say, Steve Troy is a heck of a nice guy and the product is AWESOME. Pictures do NOT do this justice. That's Steve to the right.  My observations are that you get a PERFECT checkweld and head position for using optics. Recoil feels like more of a push than anything. I don't have a lot of time on M1As/M14s, but the muzzle rise on the 16" wasn't bad at all. The rifle didn't feel very heavy at all; it was very comfortable to hold/shoot without it becoming fatiguing. The vertical grip really helped. My business partner, Allem (zzxx99 on the site), thought the rifle seemed just a tad front heavy and thought a heavier stock would balance the rifle a little better. I absolutely loved the weapon system. Mark |

So pricing? And what is the mission of this (very cool) chassis? Is it meant to bring the M14 into the CQB arena or is it a precision type thing? What other mods are necessary? I notice there is no GLFS ... or any FS for that matter ... and only a BUIS. Weight? |
Price: $595 and up... Contact LAW483 for details. Mission: Close Quarters Battle (CQB) Carbine, Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR) or a Semi-Auto Sniper System (SASS). $595 gets you the chassis. You supply the butt stock and pistol grip of your choosing. You also supply your choice of BUIS and optics. Weight: About 12 pounds as pictured below. 
|
The weight includes the BUIS and the M93B. I bring this up because the M93B weighs about a pound more the VLTOR stock that TROY had installed. |
Sorry for the confusion on my site! I will make it less confusing. I don't have a firm ship date yet, but based on my conversations with Steve Troy I expect to have stocks between 15 December and 11 January. Maybe sooner, but I think mid-December is realistic timing. Take Care, Tony |
Not bad at all.  It looks like it will feel alot better than a Sage in the handling department. And I've seen 2 different pistol grips on it, a Magpul MIAD, and a Tango Down. Which one will it come with stock? And is that piece of metal around the barrel the same as the one for the Sage?   And we need a RANGE REPORT on it's accuracy!  |
It came with the TD and I installed the Magpul items. It will be sold naked. Put whatever pistol grip and butt stock you want on it. Yes, that is the SAGE op rod guide block. Steve and I made it fit, then decided to stay with plan A. I will replace the sage guide with a GI guide and head for the range. I will campare it with my Crazy Horse MK14 SEI.  |

Thanks Tony, I appreciate it and those shots are great but not quite the exact view looking down into the receiver fit and mag well from above I was hoping for and the sight plane view from rear. More of a view from the way it would look to your eyes with you in cheekweld to the buttstock about to take a shot and the receiver fit as if you just took your receiver out of the stock and were looking straight down into the stock.  |
 This rifle is currently a pile of parts, I will make a point to photograph those angles as I put it back together. Give me a few days ~ |
Thanks H2Oman

Perfect, that's just what I was looking for, thank you again. Excellent precision work as always with Troy products and it looks very similar to a usgi cut on the inside in many ways too. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the stock progresses to the final production model.
|
That's your M1A receivered action right? How was the lockup and how tight was it?  There's no adjustment anywhere I see on the stock to receiver fit so how it fits is how it fits. I'm dying to see how Steve Troy works out the gap. I'll be looking forward to your further range report on the stock with this action. |
Yep, I supplied everything pictured except the chassis stock and BUIS. The lockup is as tight as it is in the SAGE and the MCS does have adjustments... one for rear sight rail elevation, one on each side of the trigger group pad and one up front on the barrel. All of the adjustments were used to fit the SOCOM action Steve had in it. None of these adjustments were needed to fit my MK14 SEI action built on a Norinco. The chassis is made for GI receivers. The ChiCom receiver locks in just like a GI receiver. |
