EXCELLENT looking shorty /side folder M14.
The CM design is good looking, nice and simple, and an interesting
lower cost alternative to the very, Very, VERY expensive VLTOR.
BUT,
can you reverse the side folder to fold to the right???
I prefer my side folders to fold to the right, like the one below.
I've been making side folding stocks for the M14 for several years now and have posted instructions for my
old style do-it-yourself M14 stock at:
http://www.members.shaw.ca/lazerus2000/m14.htm
My
new style M14 to AR15 pistol grip and butt stock adapter design will be similar to the CM aproach
but somewhat stronger in the way it attaches at the back of the M14 stock, and the side folder mechanism may be a low cost proprietary design rather than using the excellent but a bit expensive ACE pieces.
I will be marketing ONLY the butt stock/pistol grip adapters to those ambitious [ and penny pinching ] do-it-yourselfers who already have a wood or fiberglass US GI M14 stock and just want a low cost adapter to mount an AR 15 pistol grip and butt stock [ or side folder ] .
My approach to marketing is based on my continued commitment to support
DO-IT-YOURSELF M14 gunsmithing,
and also because,
as a Canadian,
I do not have access to a reliable supply of US GI M14 stocks for these conversions.
So if you are handy, [ and a cheap ba$tard like me],
and already have a decent GI fiberglass or wood stock,
you might prefer to buy just the AR 15 pistol grip and butt stock or side folder adapter.
Just another choice for the M14 owner to consider, although if you are not handy and a Cheap Ba$tard, and just want a drop in stock you don't have to work on yourself, it looks as if the CM stock is a noteworthy [ and less expensive ] competitor to the exceedingly expensive VLTOR.
