AKATTACK 5 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Picked up my MKA1919 yesterday and really like it but I have some questions about making some modifications. I'm thinking about changing a few things. The stock, the grip and the handguard. Not sure which stock adapter I'm going with. Don't know anyone that has the Firebird adapter instock. I kind of like the looks of Tony's(Tromix) adapter more anyway. I'd like to put a Magpul ACS stock on it, so what would I need to make an AR buffertube/receiver extension fit onto Tony's adapter? Looks like I'd need an ACE Stocks "Hognose" adapter, am I right? Also, how hard is it to mod the receiver to install Tony's grip adapter? I know that you have to cut off the factory grip, but how hard is the procedure to do? Is it a precision job? Can a person do this themself? I really like the Firebird aluminum handguard. Will be thinking of adding one when they are released. Thanks for any help!! AKATTACK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FoxHound 3 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Well if you want to add a stock and/or pistol grip, you'd have to make your 1919 922r compliant first (or was it if you wanted to use high cap mags? I cant remember. Either ways, we all know youre gonna get a highcap mag anyways so you might as well make your 1919 shotgun 922r compliant) Buy a Tromix trigger for $25 ish (counts as 2 parts), or send your lower in to FireBird and have them install their AR-15 style trigger (counts as 3 parts) Buy a Tromix gas piston and then buy a US made choke (gunsumer reports has a good article about all of this. Their choke replacement is pretty tacticool ) What you'll need for a buttstock modification 1. Some kind of saw (hacksaw works fine, but table saws are cleaner cut) 2. Dremel or sanding disc (or sandpaper if you have zen-like patience) 3. Tromix adapter For AR-style stock 4. Pig nose adapter 5. Milspec or commercial buffer tube 6. Buttstock of choice If you want to make it a side folding stock, they sell side folding mechanisms for as cheap as $60 methinks Edited September 12, 2012 by FoxHound Quote Link to post Share on other sites
