Incompatibility

Isn't the Garand stock different than the M14?

Districorp sez:

"It is not compatible with your rifle. Unfortunately, we do not know who makes one for the M14/M305. Regards, DCE Inc."
 
If you want wood, go to the Boyds website. Check out their "stock pile" section. I got two stocks for under $20.00 each. Shipping was another $20.00 US. They may be a little out-of-spec (the oiler holes were misaligned) No big woop. A little fiddling to get the norinco fitting on, but worth the trouble.

Yeah, that's what I understood as well. Thanks for the confirmation.

Otherwise, they'd have been selling a lot of these lately to all the Marstar M-305 owners!
 
Fred from Fred's M-14 Stocks (w w w.fredsm14stocks.com/etc.) says, in response to my query about a replacement for the cheap Chinese wood:

"It will fit (maybe have to make small adjustments, . But sorry to say we are no longer shipping stocks to Canada. Customs is giving too much trouble about rifle stocks = expensive for customer.

Thanks, Fred"
 
Picked up a M14 off a guy yesterday. Got the USGI stock with it, need to find ways to refinish that before I camo paint it. Anyone have ideas to add filler or something to dings and to smooth out little things in JBweld filler?

The Chuwood looked decent enough but didn't notice the huge strip crack under the oprod handle piece alongside the barrel. I kind of like the wood(as a sort of old school presentation). Need to epoxy that piece to prevent it from stripping off and refinish it.

Having said that, I'm happy with the metal bits...the gas cyl is tight, everything seems tight, just the furniture is left with something to desire. Still, better that than having beautiful wood and wobbly everything else.

True, and you can fill uneven surfaces with a soft putty knife and more JB weld or just use a piece of a margerine tub lid as a spatula, then sand smooth and refinish. :)

Hi Ardent, was thinking the same thing....JB Weld or epoxy or similar, then sand and finish. I understand you also have some stocks....tempting me to buy another for yet another fun job of finishing with a different camo scheme!
