Been thinking about a whiz bang PRS stock or a SOPMOD for my ER for a while but been too cheap(post Christmas budget cuts), so I dug out a piece of kydex I had gotten to make sheaths with and went to work. The Razor in the Bobro makes it a chin weld that had been…inconsistent.
Google showed 0 pics of A2 stocks with what I had in mind so I improvised.
I used the wall mounted gas heater as my heat gun. Put on welding gloves and held it above until I could bend it like i needed to.
Bent it around the stock until it formed the shape and held it.
Marked lines on stock for extended charging handle and where my cheek would fall.
Marked a line below the bottom of the buffer tube.
Cut rough shape with tin snips.
Marked where charging handled relief needs to be.
Clamped it to the stock and pressed cheek down until my eye lined up perfectly. I had thought about making it height adjustable but decided it was unnecessary for my purposes. Drilled through stock.
Put bolts through, tightened nuts and cut off excess.
Charging handle fully to rear. When bolt is locked back the handle is at the front edge.
In place and painted.
At the beginning I was a little hesitant about hacking things up but A2 stocks are pretty plentiful and relatively cheap so the hesitancy took a backseat to what I needed quick like. Had the bolts and kydex. Maybe $8 in materials including the spray paint I already had from the rifle paint job. Not the best looking and may need to be modified after I get it out when the snow and ice clear out. Next stop, moa slant base…maybe. Not diy of course.
