Hay guys. I have been getting better and better with stock making, although I am still experiencing some rough edges and am now looking to make a survier lunge for improvment.
My plan right now is to make a masterpiece M-14 stock with the best of my abilities. It will be my first signature build in years. it will be a thumbhole or pistol grip and sell for $400-$500 ( and belive me, it will be worth every penny.
However, I would like some suggestions. What to make it out of is not something I need suggestions on since my hands are pretty well tied as of right now.
the one imminent change that will take place on all future stock builds is that I have had it with the finish textures i've been using and found a way to make my humes texture work so all future stocks will come with it. It's mostley just more clean cut and attractive then what i've been doing up to this point, but adds better handleing as well. I wanted this to be the standard from day 1, but was not able to make it work until now.

Anyway, hear are the already set plans for the upcoming stock. Like I said, this will be a masterpiece, which I won't make many of, and each one can be expected to be unique and the very top of the line, although allot of the stock ( and my future stocks ) will depend highley on your suggestions.

* Stock will come with a built-in bypod. This bypod unlike the regulear stuff ( such as fourends that colapse in to bypods like on the Steyr Scout or bypods that fold against the side of the fourend alike on the XM-8 ) but in this case, will fold up in to it's own bay in the CENTER of the fourend, so the bypod will be quickley and easally accessable/colapsable and non-existant until you need it.

* It will most likely but not definatley come with a bolt-stop extention so that you can release the bolt without having to rack the bolt carrier or change handleing position.

* It will come with a scope mounted and ventilated handguard. This handguard will not be like the ones I regulearley offer. Expect something that will remind you of a hibbin dagger.

* The cheek rests are fixed for a reason and this one will come with a few different cheek rests so you can install the one of your liking. Although it will most likley raise the price by $10 or more, I actually intend to standardise this in future stocks and had these plans from day one.

* The upcoming stock will have more grooves. Again, this is something I intend to standardise eventually.

* High-efffency recoil padd. Anyone who has fired an M-14 with one of my stocks that came with a recoil padd knows that while they are nothing fancy by any stretch of the imagionation, they reduce felt kick by as much as 50%. This one will be no different. I am alwayse working to improve the recoil padds, as the butts are a criticle issue to me in the making of well fit stocks, so you can expect some improvment from what i've done in the past. The improvment will revolve around balance, where I think I have reduced felt kick as much as I can with recoil padds.

* I intend to inhance the fourend at the magwell and shortley in front of it. Again, this will eventually be a standard feature.

Anyway, that is the future plans. Any suggestions would be highley appreciated and work to your benefit if you ever get one.
Also, I would like to eliminate dealing with customers directley do to problems it raises, so if anyone has any suggestions of any companys who may want to cary them, please let me know.
