Jim R Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 Does the original 1014 collapsible stock tube unscrew to install a new 3 position tube? Thanx Quote
StrangerDanger Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 Yes, but it isn’t an easy task. You have to heat the extension with a torch to get it to loosen up. The biggest issue is locating a receiver extension that is milled to allow the stock to collapse. Quote

StrangerDanger Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 You’d need a good machine shop and you’d likely have to have one for them to copy the dimensions from. Or it would cost a fortune for them to reinvent the wheel for you. Then refinishing costs. I have never seen anyone attempt it. Quote
ClackClackBAM Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 I was wondering what the costs would be. Sounds like it's better to just search for the actual tube. Or buy an M4 that's not the 1014 model. Quote
StrangerDanger Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 If a shop had a CNC and made a fixture and a program, it would be cheap. Probably 50-100 bucks. It’s a complex part since it requires machining on multiple axis points. Normally we can buy the 3 position extensions for 99-199 dollars. Then it’s just a matter of swapping them out. Quote
ClackClackBAM Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Ah I see. Maybe he'd get lucky and have a friend who will loan the receiver with the tube so a shop can copy. Probably better just buying one though. Quote
