No, they are not drop-in stocks. You will need to remove the op-rod guide, which will require flash-suppressor lock nut pliers and a small hex head driver to remove the flash suppressor, a pin punch to remove the op-rod guide pin, and a nylon hammer is also useful.

Thanks. I have all those tools. I had a couple Poly's and a SA loaded and NM a few years ago but other than taking them down for cleaning, I never got into adding mods. The words "some gunsmithing required" scare me almost as much as "some assembly required"...GI1

In my limited experience the receiver will not drop into the stock. It's more like pound in. You'll need to use an appropriate soft faced device to seat the receiver into the stock.
Best to wait for those with more experience in this matter to chime in.

Grease the contact surfaces before pounding in the receiver.

I wished that video was available back when I got my EBR chassis, I wouldn't have paid my local gunsmith $40 to do it.

My m25 receiver would not fit my mod 1 stock. I had to send it to jywolfe and have it milled to fit my action. Although it is worth noting this particular receiver has minor issues.

I recommend cutting off the op rod guide, after about 20 min of pounding on mine I cut it off. I wish I would have just cut it off in the first place, it would have saved me a lot of pounding.
