M1A Stocks?

[Mossy Man]

Hi all,

Trying to find either a factory Springfield M1A synthetic or USGI fiberglass stock to replace my snoopy selector cut out walnut stock.

Reason is the top shelf of my safe fell, and a small screw managed to find its way into the cutout hole.

Luckily I heard it jangling around inside and got it out before I had to use it.

Anyway, everywhere I look, its out of stock.

Hmm just discovered fake selector switches from hawk....

Anyone use one?

Avoid the SAI polymer stock, get a USGI fiberglass. Post a WTB on the PX at M14forum and someone might have one for you that isn't ridiculously overpriced.

Numrich will also have some, best to call them though.

As far as the fake selector switches from hawk, couldn't hurt to try it. Don't recall any negatives, but I have never used one or installed one, mainly because I have never had a wood stock with a selector cut-out.

SAI stocks are fine. Your in Sac, try Action Surplus here:

5800 Auburn Boulevard, Sacramento, CA 95841
(916) 332-500

They had about 10 USGI fiberglass stocks at the front door when I was there a couple of months back.

Personally, I would get the kit from Hawk, which is what I did with mine. I prefer the USGI stocks to the after market ones. I think the USGI are inletted and fitted better. Personally, I don't like filling the cutouts, since very few look good.
As for the USGI fiberglass stocks. They are nice in that one can fill the cut outs, and then paint them, to hide the filling. However, USGI stocks are a bit too flexible in the forend. One can epoxy a couple of arrow shafts into the stock to stiffen it up, which is what I did. The next fiberglass stock I am getting I will trying using some aluminum angle, epoxied in.

SAI stocks are not fine. They no longer used repainted USGI fiberglass units. Now they are crappy injection molded pieces that are awful.

If you like the way it fits in your current stock just fill in the selector cutout with epoxy or get the cheap hawk selector thingy.

You could go to your local home improvement store, get a small scrap of walnut stock from the salvage bin, and make a plug to fit in the selector cutout.

Hmmm sounds like a good reason to just get a sage ebr stock if you wanna go all out. Jk

Eh, I'd go JAE, no bullet button needed and damn is it comfy!

[side2side]

I have a SA factory stock. Pm if interested

And as heavy as Roseanne Bar.

If you like your current stock, just get the dummy selector. It really adds to the look, IMO, and fills that unsightly hole.
Or get a surplus USGI wood or fiberglass and fill that with a dummy selector too.

I sold my JAE because it was too heavy, as far as comfort, I prefer McMillian A3 (they are heavy too).
