rocinante 100 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Would there be a way to make a regular stock secure and sturdy? On my S12 I drilled and tapped the original trigger side pin holes and put allen head bolts in. Looks cool and definitely makes absolutely sure the internal ace block doesn't move. Maybe I could do something similar to a stock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GregM1 241 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) i would think, add a stock to the current configuration and sell the rifle. then buy a new one and start again. if the standard style stock crosses one of the current holes the ace block is mounted through, a cross pin might have enough to hold it.

Nailbomb 10,221 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Remove the rear block and replace with one from a parts kit. Checked apex yet? I see a bulgarian ak74 rear tang for $35... Sounds like a fix to me... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rocinante 100 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 My thoughts are to sell my ace folder to fund other interests. The next thought is to sell the whole rifle but I don't want to do that. If I decide it is mine forever and ever there is always J.B. Weld. Nah I will just run screws all the way through the original trigger holes. Probably wouldn't look too ghetto. Maybe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rocinante 100 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I accept the right thing to do is replace the trunion but I am trying to raise money not spend it. That is the plan A I would resort to if I decided to sell the rifle with a fixed stock. Right now I am seeking cheap good enough plan B advise. Call upon your inner Bubbha.

rocinante 100 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I did the math and it aint worth it. New, stock, folding mech, internal block comes out to about 170. I figure 2/3 of that price would be about 110. Cheapest nato stock is tapco which would hit me at least 35. A lot of hassle to net 70 or so. Just have to keep it.

DrThunder88 912 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Build a new tang with JB Weld! I do wonder if it would be possible to modify a polymer stock like Tapco to work with the ACE block. First, I'd cut off the stock's tang so the front is flat. Next, I'd fill it maybe an inch or two deep with a structural epoxy like AcraGlas. Then, using the receiver block as a guide, drill clearance holes for 10-32 machine screws into the stock and its new epoxy plug. The next step would just be to bolt the stock onto the receiver block.
