Stock has potential but issues (15/10/2016)

I bought this for an Auto ordnance M1 Carbine.

here is the good the bad the ugly:

The good:

It has a good profile. It gives a longer length of pull which for tall guys like me Is a god send. It feels more like a normal rifle while still remaining light and handy.

With a synthetic stock the gun is now less prone from changing zeros and group shift due to humidity and rain.

The built in sling mounts are convenient and do not require the oiler bottle to use.

The Bad:

The overall quality was so so. The stock came with moulding flash still on it, it was incredibly tight to get a receiver into and needed some sanding. It is not a well finished product. It does clean up nice but you will have to hit it with a file and sandpaper.

the stock profile is not compatible with auto ordnance upper hand guards, If you have an auto ordnance model, fear not; with a standard GI profile vented steel upper handguard available off brownells you are good to go.

You will have to dremel the stock to get a scout rail handguard to fit.

The Ugly:

the stock did not come with a rear recoil lug. You must provide your own which means buying one aftermarket or stripping it off your own M1 stock.

It is not compatible with the recoil lug from Auto ordnance, Plainfield, or Paratrooper stocks. yes I tried all three to no avail.

you must use a standard GI one (which is compatible with auto ordinance and plainfield)

it also requires a barrel band retaining spring. I wish these requirement were listed as a requirement on the product as i had to put in a second order to get them.

Lots of fitting required (24/10/2016)

First off, it is not compatible with paratrooper recoil lugs.

Nor is this stock compatible with Auto ordinance upper hand guards.

This stock is tight, you need to beat the recoil lug in with a mallet.

you also need a rubber mallet to get the receiver in.

once the receiver is inserted into the recoil lug and you cam it down, it will stop with the forend 2 inches away from the barrel where the band sits. you either need to bend the stock and it will put about 30-40 LB of pressure on the barrel band... or you need to mill out the stock. You can do it with a dremel and a file but its going to take a long time. Its much easier in a end mill. you need to remove 1/16 to 1/8 of material along the receiver supports, remove material around the trigger assembly, mill the recoil lug pocket out so that it sits flat and square. and a few more points of contact that well... shouldn't be contacting. It is a lot of work.

Once that's done it looks nice, feels nice, and is a more comfortable sitting stock for tall people like myself.
