ive been searching all over the net and cant find an answer if the kmw loggerhead will work on a m24 stock with adjustable lop or would the loggerhead hardware interfere with the lop hardware? if so does anyone know of a adjustable spacer system similair to mcmillans spacer system that will work on a 700 police stock, or would the tubbs adjustable lop system be the best way to go? any help is very much appreciated
Gunsmithing will a kmw loggerhead work on a m24 stock?

The conversion will not be possible due to the amount of intrusion the M24 LOP system.
The lower stabilizing leg as well as the threaded adjustment rod travel through the area that the LoggerHead bottom clamp assembly would occupy. Also, your top stabilizing leg travels through the very area that you would have to cut and remove to be used as the adjustable cheek.
The molded part of the M24 butt stock is very short. This makes the base plate reside at a smaller point in the taper of the stock, so the cross section of the existing footprint is proportionately smaller. This would make for a less than pretty conversion to traditional LOP spacer systems.
Any of the 3 way assemblies like the Tubb would also have a center pillar that rides through the base and into the stock butt. So again with the M24 butt being so short, you will not find enough space to accommodate the LoggerHead clamp assembly due to the center pillar of those 3-way systems.
I know this is probably not what you want to hear, but I believe the conversion would not be feasible.
PS: Thank you very much for considering my hardware for your project.
PPS: The above is just my opinion. This forum is full of talented and innovative people. They may surprise both of us with a solutions. VJJPunisher may have something in the works.

thank you mr. Cross, i kinda figured that would be the answer i would get,but, on the bright side of things i have seen the loggerhead done on a 700p stock [done by mr. Ducos] so i think i will go that route instead of the m24 stock. and hey, you even saved me a couple hundred bucks in the process
thanks againive seen mr Ducos work on quite a few stocks and needless to say i am more than impressed with his work,he will be at the top of the list when it comes time to get this build started
I had a customer ask this a while back and after looking at the stock and measuring the m24 hardware and where it would travel, I concur with Terry.
