There are now three commercial suppliers for carbon based M14 stocks: 1) LAW483 has a carbon fiber M14E2 style stock 2) McCann Industries has a carbon fiber stock body and carbon fiber hand guard and 3) hueygunner offers standard and heavy contour full length carbon-graphite-aramid stocks.
The McCann web site does not have the carbon fiber stock listed yet but Deb McCann says you can call to order. They had a production carbon fiber M14 stock installed on a Springfield Armory, Inc. M1A at the SHOT Show yesterday.
The McCann carbon fiber M14 stock body is compatible with M16/M4/AR15 type butt stocks and grips. It has a carbon fiber hand guard that is secured to the stock body with eleven hex head screws. It's a drop-in stock. Other than removing the hand guard, it works like the USGI stock. The McCann hand guard does not clip to the barrel. The front end of the hand guard and stock are formed to mate with the front band. You can use standard, medium or heavyweight barrels according to Richard McCann. There are 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock anodized aluminum ~ 7 " Picatinny rails. The McCann stock comes in black but Mr. McCann pointed out that it can be painted like the fiberglass GI stocks. I did not ask about the price.
I've spoke recently with Tony Lawrence aka LAW483. The LAW483 M14E2 stock price is $495.00. LAW483 also has a California compliant tactical carbon fiber M14 stock in production.
The hueygunner carbon-graphite-aramid stock is $435.00 and $37.50 for a NM ferrule and $24.00 for a NM front swivel as options. This stock has a green chemical agent resistant military primer finish. This can be painted to your liking. These are standard and heavy contour full length stocks.
The carbon based stocks are high speed low drag items. They are strong, light and new. The high manufacturing costs are reflected in the price.
