If the guy is from Canada and named Bob Fortier, he is sorry to tell you he cannot ship to the states. If it's not him, glad to see someone finally made it.

Alright--what kind of equipment and skill does it take to make a wood stock? I'm sick of these tupper-crap stocks--I'd like to give it go.

I just ordered a stock from: http://www.rifle-stocks.com/tactical.htm , And I have plans to use a modified AR-15 Mag. Catch to use... you guessed it! AR-15 magazines for my .223!

These stocks don't come with the proper floor plate or anything, but I plan on doing the work myself. So I don't plan it being an issue.

[sharpshooter]

AR-15 mags won't work.

AR-15 mags won't work.

why wouldn't they? I am curious I'd hate to invest the time and money, if it won't work at all.

Let me know your plan. I am interested in this myself.

Here's a hint: When you get the magazine mounted high enough for the bolt to pick up a round you run into an interference problem between the bolt head and the magazine feed lips. All I have handy is a PMag and a Savage CRF bolt head, but it should still show you well enough why it won't work.

As you can see, the shape and size of the bolt head just doesn't lend itself to being able to pick up a round from an AR magazine.

On my thread, it was suggested to use the mini-14 mag. I am going to try it. :D
