I want one of my own. Alas, I don't have the coin for a Vltor stock, so I thought to myself "Gee... I could do one up similar with a Chu wood stock, then upgrade to a fiberglass one if it works!" I've always been a fan of pistol grips and adjustable LOP butt stocks, gives for more versatility to me. The kicker is, there just isn't a lot of meat left where I'd have to cut.
I was thinking of using one of Supra's Vz58 adapters, but then the question came up about mounting the pistol grip and the slight angle that the base is machined at doesn't help matter much either. I looked at some of the shotgun atapters, and I don't think the grip geometry would be right for that either. I know I could spend a few hundred bucks and have 45ACPKING do one up for me, and it'd probably be well made and set up right the first time, but this is a project I want to take a crack at myself before I farm out my tax refund for a stock or two. I have a funny feeling that if mine works, my wife is going to wantone for hers too (she's planning on taking hers hunting this fall, I might just use my Enfield.)
So those of you DIY types out there that have pulled this off, what parts did you use, how did you put it together, and what does the end product look like?
