#M14 STOCK CRACK PLUS#

they now come with SAI's own PLASTIC stock. M1As with black synthetic stocks do not come with GI fiberglass stocks anymore. Is the rifle going to be a display piece or a tool? So I guess it depends on whether you care more about looks or utility. It is easy to modify them with fiberglass work.

Plus you can rattle can it to match any season. They are weatherproof, and do not expand/contract with weather and change your POI.

They are just a tad lighter, so you won't notice much difference in recoil. The GI fiberglass stocks fit tighter and give you a little bit better accuracy. Which is to say, plenty to knock the gun off target, but not painful for most people who have proper technique. Wear a thicker/stiffer shirt, or change out the pad, and you won't notice anything more than any other. You can get a bit of a bruise if you're wearing a t-shirt or polo because the rubber buttpad is firm and ridged (has ridges) that seem to exaggerate recoil a bit on your skin. Given your size (I'm in that range too) you are likely to find recoil quite mild. My 2 cents? Buy a gun with the synthetic stock, then for $82 buy a walnut or laminate stock from Boyd's for when you want the gun to be pretty:Īnd use the synthetic for when you're hunting in bad conditions or otherwise want a tough beater stock. (BTW I know that some M14s had birch stocks from the factory.)

They look very plain and dull, too much like cheap birch stocks. I'm actually not super impressed with the walnut stocks that SAI ships with.
