Hey Folks, I guess y'all know by now that I swapped my A.K. for a Socom 16 about a month ago now . I came across this website called the instructables and low and behold there was this custom stock made from an old U.S.G.I. fiberglass stock and a Knoxx coloasable shot gun stock for a Mossberg.
Just so happens I had an old U.S.G.I. stock and the shotgun stock layin around here collecting dust .Well this after noon I got started on it . Here's a few pics,
My Socom 16 as it came stock, with her big sister
Initial cut,
stock with new butt
factory stock next to build stock
Here's what it will look like when I'm done with it,
I'll drop about 1/2 pound in weight and shorten the gin up with the stock collapsed it will go from 37 1/2" down to 35".
I'm gonna mount 3" Picatanny rails at the fore end of the stock on both sides ,one for a light, one for a laser and one on the underside of the fore arm about 1/2 way between the mag well and the end of the stock for a vert. for grip.
Throw in a cool camo rattle can paint job on the stock and a spare hand guard I'd already cut for the scout rail scope mount, and I'll have one mean slrobrin Rottweiler of a CQB 7.62X51 battle rifle .
So your hidin behind that cinderblock wall 200 yards down range? no problem this little bad boy will go through that wall, you and the guy behind you LOL.
I'll keep y'all posted on how I'm doing this , and how it's comin along.
