sloppyfoos Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Hello. I found an M4 LE that has a pistol grip stock, and was wandering if there is a tube or anything inside of the stock that would prevent a gunsmith from shortening it about an inch? Thank you very much. --Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1014 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 theres a recoil spring tube that the stock spins onto,,it can be machined for the skeletize stock to retract ,,but no hacking the recoil tube shorter--------------------M1014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloppyfoos Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 M1014..... Would it be possible to cut off the end of the stock or does the tube extend too far? Thank you for clarifying for me. --Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We recently cut down an M4 stock, since, as many of you (and the US Marines) have probably noticed, the factory stocks are invariably too long. Working on Benelli stocks is easier because they don't attach from the rear, so you don't have to worry about the hardware back there unless you are concerned about changing the sling loops for some reason. What we did was remove the buttpad, then mix up a batch of Bondo and pour it into the back of the stock while the stock was on the gun. After the Bondo set, we removed the stock and took it down to our favorite gunsmith, who for $85 cut two inches off the back of the stock, then fit and ground down a new buttpad. The buttpad was screwed into the Bondo. The result looks completely factory, just shorter. There are other materials besides Bondo you could use, like dense expanding foam or bedding glass.

CCarr Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Hi, I just bought the M4 telescoping stock #70085. The box was open however and I just want to make sure nothing is missing. So, does anyone know what all should have been in the box. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tucker301 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I took it literally, meaning he just bought the stock. /and what a great place to start a new thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Upon further review (because I'm bored), it appears he was indeed referring to the stock only, as the part number gives it away. From Cal's: *70085- M4/ M1014 Skeletonized Stock with Pistol Grip, Non-adjustable drop. Fits the Military M1014, M1014 Limited Edition, and M4 Super 90. This stock will only collapse on the M4 Super 90 model #11707 & the Military M1014. Note: The recoil spring tube assembly is not included with this stock nor is it sold separately by BenelliUSA. MSRP is 170.00 NOT SOLD WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW [ 07-14-2005, 09:20 PM: Message edited by: tucker301 ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCarr Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Yeah, bought just the stock. So then just the pistol grip and shock should've been included. Thanks tucker301. "From Cal's" you stated, is that a wed site? thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
