I plan to install a emergency cleaning kit, some essential tools, lube/borecleaner, and a buttload of cleaning patches (all cerefully baggie-up) into the void previously occupied by the now-useless foam. Removing the buttplate with a small Phillips head screwdriver reveals that the Buttstock is hollow, and comes packed with a wedge of open-cell foam to reduce the "hollow stock" sound. These stocks are excellent candidates for bedding, but such might not be necessary. This leaves some marks, but, if carefully done, and IMHO, is unobjectionable even if unpainted.

Setting aside the somewhat complicated, and usually unnecessary bedding of the barreled action into the RamLine Garand buttstock, the Mods made were simple.įirst thing to do was use a sharp-bladed knife to "draw" down the molding seams on all the items, save the rear handguard, which had none. The front handguard lacks any metal whatsoever, and is molded so that it needs none. The rear Handguard lacks a spring clip, so get one if you wish, or use the one already on your wooden rear handguard.
There is no front stock ferrule/sling swivel included, so unless you want to use the one on your wooden stock, get one.
You will need to obtain a sling swivel suitable for both the stud and your sling. The area into which it is screwed is heavily reinforced, so scant danger of it pulling out. The buttstock has a screwed-in rubber butt plate, and has a typical screw-in, blued, rear swivel stud. Front handguard, Rear Handguard, and Butt Stock. These stocks are also lighter than their wooden counterparts.ģ piece kit. A shade akin to Rust-Oleum red primer is very much like the color of the GI synthetic stocks for the M-14. They are also easily painted, but good preperation is essential, and possibly using "Fusion" paints especially made for plastics is suggested. These stocks, as they come from the factory, are very likely to be a tighter fit with respect to your barreled action and trigger group, and of course, are invulnerable to moisture Both of these features very much tend to increase the accuracy of any given rifle, particularly compared to old wooden stocks that no longer lock-up tightly. What they offer is a stable, waterproof base stock, which will save your original wooden stock from dings and scratches. These polymer, fiber-reinforced stocks are now becoming a little hard to find Not entirely sure if they have been discontinued, but suspect so.
