Thanks

well, some of those M1a stocks aren't considered pistol grip stocks, so they don't need a BB. Like the Sage stock and another I can't remember the name to.

But if you are talking about a real PG stock, then yes, it would need a BB.

well i know you need a bb how is this bb made? since i dont think anyone is selling it.

I would like a SAGE type stock as much as the next guy, but I would not trade the hassle of a locked magazine for one.

because some of them were purchased PRE Y2K and are registered under SB23 as AWs. so they can put whatever they want on it.

YOu'd just have to design something that would do the job. I know it has been asked about in the past, and most people seem to think it would be a waste of time and money to design, since the thought is that most people would rather have the detachable magazine instead of a PG that can be simulated with those JAE-type stocks.

you can cut off the the mag release tab and grind out a small recess behind it exposing a little lip, just enough so a tool can engage it.

gota pic? i think this is what i am looking for! but then i guess if i do get another stock.. it will prob be jae

i've never done it so i don't have a pic. a friend has it done to his, so that's where the idea came from. i'll try to illustrate the idea tonight after work. could you take a pic of the underside of the of the m1a? specifically the mag release area.

you're probably better off with the jae stock anyway. but in case you do want to modify the triggerguard assembly, it'd be a good idea to buy an extra one if you need to restore the m1a one day.

Interesting thread, I'd like to see more M1A build stuff on calguns. Because there is an neat possibility here. Let's say you build a nice little Scout M1A with a modern stock config that includes a PG and maybe even some kind of recoil-reducing stock nonsense. So now you have to fix the mag. OK. Then, for the next two days, you practice jamming 10 rnds into it from a stripper clip until you are faster than Miculek. Fun, legal, and good firepower. Beats top-loading a CA-legal Titan doesn't it?

Why would you top load? Why not use a bullet button device?

Top-loading an M1A is really easy, actually. Hell, sometimes it beats using M1A mags anyways since they are such an awkward pain.

I would imagine that loading an M1A using correct stripper clips could be just as easily as fast as loading via swapping mags.

I developed a working device. The lever is milled down so that there can be no purchase on the release with hands. Two types of wedge devices were designed to operate the release.

Are you kidding??? You are going to neuter the best battle rifle ever made... and for what?? A pistol grip??

Seriously... you will greatly reduce the value of that gun if you start grinding off parts.

If you like a pistol grip, buy a FAL, or an AR10... they are 30 caliber rifles with pistol grips by design. Shoot... for that matter, buy an AK. Anything would be better than buying a beautiful M1A rifle and putting her under the knife. Love each woman for who she is and stop trying to change her.

Cutting off the mag release is not going to de-value a M1A, get real!

There is nothing wrong with a modern version of a 50 year old rifle. mine is in a sage mod-1 stock and i would never go back to the old, low cheek wood or fiberglass stock. Never.
