Cryogaijin 33 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Most of the conversion FAQs and guides tend to gloss over reattachment of the final stock. I'm curious what the various techniques and options are. I'm looking to do a s12 conversion within the next month, and want some sort of folding stock (Ideally an underfolder, but a sidefold will work if I can't find a good underfolder for it.) So, any advice? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dudethebagman 222 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 So, any advice? Folding stocks are neat, but unless you go with an external block you'll have to cut off the tang. Cutting off the tang is like circumcision - you'll never regain what you've lost. Will you miss it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The hinge smacked me in the nose every time I fired it. It now lives on my 223 and works well on that one. L5K is right about cutting the tang off to put a good quality one on but it is not that difficult and works really well. http://www.mississippiautoarms.com/folding-mechanism-p-125.html added to this http://www.mississippiautoarms.com/ace-75-skeleton-stock-p-164.html or http://www.mississippiautoarms.com/ar15-style-stock-adapter-p-208.html added to this http://www.mississippiautoarms.com/commercial-ar-t6-stock-black-tapco-p-216.html are just a few options. If you can imagine it, someone is probably already making it. Just shop around and you should be able to find a set up that will work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
