I love my M1A. It brought me back to iron sights and the world of milsurp, a good sometimes bad thing.

The early M14 stocks that use the M1 butt plate or an aluminum variation of the butt plate are starting to be expensive now. Attachment 62206

I preferred that look so much that I made a block to fill in the opening and used an M1 buttplate for some time. It changed the balance and removed some of the back end weight for me. I never used the bipod so had no need for the butt strap.

back in the early 70's, I did install an M14 barrel on a M1 receiver and modified the M14 stock to fit. Had to make my own operating rod too. Only an old photo left nowAttachment 62207

Robert, is it my eyes or is that stock cracked at the trigger guard?

The mark or scratch is on the old photo, I still have that stock inletted for the M1 receiver. I use to buy these stocks from the salvage yard at Ft Leonard Wood, when the stocks were cracked (most in the fore-end or around the liner screw) they just removed the butt plate and dumped them off at the salvage yard. The modified stock in my photo had been cracked at the front sling swivel which I had repaired.
It would be difficult for a stock to have a crack in that direction, most cracks that I have seen in the pistol grip area were lower. Robert
