Well, Marstar advertises it as aluminum, so...it's either aluminum or they're lying. They seem like pretty stand up people at Marstar, so I think it's probably what they say it is.
cobra - that was a joke. Steal as in "cheap". I got my SAGE with collapsible butt for 900$ used. When I bought it I didn't even have M14 neither thought of buying one but stock was soo cool I couldn't let it go off my hands. Just chopped the air with my Visa like a sword and made for a door.

[slaps forehead] Well I feel like a tard right now
I like the stock, she is pretty front heavy now. I put in an older Norc M14, and had to do a touch of dremmelling to make it fit right, but so far, so good, and quite solid. I personally hate the sling swivels on the back, and will be getting them removed. I would recommend it though.

I bought one last month. Don't have the receiver/barrel/trigger ass'y to go with it yet. Just couldn't pass it up as they seem to always be out of stock. Nice piece - well made, and the price is right. Would recommend.
The !@#$%^&*****()@ BUTCHER who Dremelled the brand new AKM stock and brand new Norc receiver IN THE THREAD POSTED ABOVE to "FIT" them, also told the owner he didn't need the AKM free floated Op Rod Guide pieces ... "the rifle would shoot more accurately without them".
YUP!
If you want 1/2" barrel whip, with ferrule striking sparks at the front end of the stock as it grinds into the alloy .... then this would be the way to go.
More likely, the so called Professional gunsmith who did this work, didn't know how to take off the flashider on a chinese M14, or was just to FFFn stupid or lazy to do the job correctly.
So ... WHILE THE RECEIVER WAS IN THE STOCK ... he also Dremelled the barrel ferrule so that he could cram the receiver and barrel into the AKM stock without removing the ferrule .... !!!
So, to sum up, this paragon of gunsmithing ability dremelled"
A.] the inside of the AKM stock bedding surfaces
B.] the bearing surfaces of the M14s receiver
C.] the bolt release .... oops slipped a bit there I guess
D.] the ferrule that goes around the barrel/gas assembly
E.] the exterior front end of the AKM stock ... oops, slipped a bit ... AGAIN!!
All of this work was done gloriously freehand ... and judging by the workmanship, probably while drunk or stoned on CRACK!
And,
all of this was done totally without reason because the AKM stock I tried slipped on to three different Chinese receivers perfectly.
Others who used the AKM stock have reported a small thin shim at the rear of the receiver might be worthwhile to align some receivers perfectly, and tension the barrel for best accurracy ... but with this modification, expect that your personal mileage may vary.
DREMELSSS!!!!
ARGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!

So, I guess you guys are telling me that a Chicom M14 will not fit the Marstar stock without major butchery??
What kind of butchery is needed to fit a Chicom M14 to the Marstar stock specifically, I am not interested in butchered "gunsmithing" on a bolt action rifle.
Does any one have pics of the modification needed to fit a Chicom M14 to the Marstar stock specifically, that is all I need to know about in this thread.
