Here is a basic model.

I made up a pistol grip stock for my M14S.I think the concept is overrated for this style of rifle.I went back to the old school USGI stock.What I didn't like was the fact that the rifle was now muzzle heavy and mag changes were not as comfortable as with the normal style of stock. On The FN C1A1 I liked it but not on this rifle.

Sorry for the slight drift on your thread,I like what your doing here.
 
I think I am going to change the design. This was fun though, but I realized after making this (in about 10 minutes), that the design can be so much better.

This is entirely my opinion but I think an attachment point for AR handles might be more useful for most people.

The main downside to the M14 IMO is the lack of modularity. Other than that I love the thing.

So the rail system addresses optics modularity...AR grips would be another level of modularity that would appeal to me personally.

Of course at that stage maybe you're already starting to think "buttstock modularity" at which point you have yourself a TROY...

I like your designs, but I guess I am somebody who has to start with a question and then answer it. What question is this the answer to?

I am not knocking it in any way, I like both designs a lot. The first looks like the answer to the DMR stock combined with optical modularity in the form of picatinny rails which I think is pretty much mandatory these days. What is the goal of the second stock?

I hope I don't sound down on this, I am trying not to! I am into this project for sure! I just think it's easy to get caught up in gear for the sake of gear, which is cool and fine, but I am more of a performance guy than a gear guy personally.
 
I just wanted to mention that with most (if not all) of the norinco m14s/m305 rifles out there, extraction of the spent round is usually 45 degrees upwards. You may want to design a stock that keeps the port a little more open.

When most people get stovepipes, the brass hits the scope mount and it rebounds back into the action.

Or I may not have the faintest idea whatsoever of what I am talking about. YMMV

I was going to post the same thing. Try and keep more space about the receiver for spent round ejection, if you don't have enough, the brass is likely to jam and not eject cleanly.
 
so are you doing these models for a definite stock machining or just playing around?

(the last one reminds me of the FN SCAR)
