Is there any one making slim M1A icon

stocks without the selector switch cut out? I have a heavy NM stock on mine and would like to "dress" it down a bit. TIA

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Boyds' M1A icon

stock does not have the selector cut out, but I doubt it is very slim.

I've not seen one that exactly matches the M14 contours, but the earlier Springfield Inc. M1A icon

stocks weren't as fat as the current ones.

Mine is over 20 years old and when I bought it SAI was running their custom rifle shop. I had two rifles made one .243 and the other .308. The .308 I had a heavy Match stock fixed to it. I wish I would have kept the other rifle but I wish I had the other stock too because it was very slim.

Ach, found photo!

The bottom two are commercial stocks, the lowest is the newest (a regular non-match stock), the third one down dates from the 1980's.

(Sorry for the "glare", I don't even remember why I took the photo!)

ETA: Maybe this one will be better (slightly different angle as well):

**Bill Hollinger** · 12-07-2010 09:25 AM

Even the modern bottom stock is fatter. The wood on the third one down is beautiful. I considered a fiberglass stock but then woke up.

I also thought about buying a new stock carving it down to a slim profile. Thanks

Fulton Armory has the stock you are looking for Bill .

How about a Fiberglass GI & fill in the selector hole yourself?

**Brian Dick** · 12-23-2010 11:55 PM

The GI glass stock is the best stock ever fitted to the M14 icon

bar none.
