TRYING TO GET INPUT ON SOMETHING SIMILIAR, so i can get the ball rolling on a tactical stock for a mkII and marlin. if i can get enough intrest in it, it's possible we'll get a replacement stock with goodies manufactured without the "2x4" effect.
my gunsmith happens happens to have a stock making machine. of corse, the initial setup would cost some $ on my and my gunsmith's part, however if there is enough demand to justify it, my smith said he'd set up the machine. if a mkII and/or a marlin tactical style stock was to be made, would you guys prefer:
1. <span style="font-weight: bold">WOOD OR SYNTHETIC BODY</span>
a. heavy or light with fillable cavities
b. hook or notched in rear or regular
c. semi skeletonized (like the ultimate sniper stock) or full
d. built in adjustable cheek piece or add ons
e. bulit in adjustable butt plate or l.o.p. add ons
2. <span style="font-weight: bold">GRIP</span>
a. pistol grip style
b. adjustable "plate at bottom" of above for resting or not
c. palm swells or finger grooves or both, or plain pistol grip
3. <span style="font-weight: bold">FORESTOCK</span>-
a. full length or shortened "axiom stock" style
b. fat rounded, beavertailed, triangular, or regular width
c. flat or tapered bottom
d. picatinny rails on sides for extras or no
e. multiple sling studs (sides, bottom) for carry options
or not
f. small dedicated bi pod mounting area-flat, tapered or none
g. vent holes (they are fashionable) round, oblong, or none
h. recessed grip areas for off hand shooting or not
probably will be designed to be both rightie and leftie friendly, factory inletting, and an oversized barrel channel to ensure free floating.
maybe even a model that's only from the pistol grip to the forestock, with an adapter to add your own collapsible AR stock.
any input would be good to get and idea of a design / prototype. include a reasonable price you'ld be willing to pay or the options you want incorporated. it's purely hypothetical at this stage, but there is obviously a market for it. if the prototype / products are made, it would include the features with the most votes on it (example: wood instead of syn, ventholes in forstock instead of plain, oversized untapered forestock instead of regular sized tapered,etc.)
i don't know when we would have such an item ready, as if we do go ahead with it, there will have to be some preliminary field testing for durability and such. may take until spring 2010 if we go ahead with it to put it through the paces of summer, fall, and winter weather to reduce any defects environment would play.
obviously if these are made and are successful, inletting for other manufacturers would soon follow (cz, remington, ruger, etc.)
