I made it from scratch. It's just an oddly shaped, codura pillow case (with a buckle). The czech holsters can be modified to hold the gun with the standard mag. I also fitted a simple noose-knot to create a mounting point for a sling . . .

With the holster, the scorp carries just like any other sidearm.

Ya sure.

Paratrooper M14 Project Update. Repainted black. Stick battery installed in stock (to make space I cut off the gas-slide and fused it to the charging arm). Specter 3-point sling.

I agree. The parts hunt continues . . .

Thanks. It was a fun side project/experiment that turned out well. I agree about the looks. The trick is the angle of the motor, which is at the rear of the V7 gearbox. For a Mcmillan-style to work, the motor would have to be remounted like in the G&P DMR stock, but that would push the hinge for the folding stock back an inch or two. The motor extends up to the front edge of the cheek rest: If I could figure out a way to securely attach a side-folding stock to the DMR stock, that would be my next project. It would be really nice to keep the solid stock and add a hi

Thanks. The grip works OK with the stock folded. My small hand fits, but would likely be tight for someone with big paws. I finished a rough install of the battery and this configuration has some promise. BTW, the blurry pic is a BM59 alpine troops or para troops foldable stock mounted under a M14. http://www.imageseek.com/m1a/gallery/close...h_folding_stock Here's another pic of the BM59 stock under a SOC16.

Inspired by the two following pics and the desire to make the SOC16 a bit more close-quarters friendly, I looked into ways I could mount a side-folding stock on the M14. Mcmillan M1a Para M14 My original concept was to install a folding stock on the DMR stock, but the cost and location of the gearbox convinced me to go another route (at least for now). I had a spare M14 stock from my DMR conversion, so I decided to start with that as a base. Not having a pistol grip is a negative, but this will give me a taste of how it will work and help me decide if I want to improve upon the

I do not think it is possible. The motor provided in the kit has a longer shaft than the stock shaft.

Other than color/texture differences in the stock, the only differences are the inner and outer barrel lengths, scout sight mount, and front sight/flash hider. Here are some pics of the process to convert a TM M14 to a SOC16 (from old picture thread): TM M14 Barrel Chop Conversion to SOC16

I'm gonna remove the cords and see if that helps - I doubt the mags will pop out.

Gunshell, You're right. The shingles are tight when new. But after they are used for a while, they loosen up and allow for quicker access. I've had two of the TT shingles on the front of my PC for a couple seasons now and once they loosen up they are a bit easier to use. Access is almost as quick as the BDS double stack pouches on my other rig. Some magpulls would probably help. TBH, the mags are a bit harder to reach when they are higher up in a chest rig, so I am curious to see how this setup works in the field. I was looking for a setup that would carry a bunch of mags, allo

Trying out a smaller scope on the TM M14 DMR. I'm looking forward to trying out the new Tactical Tailor MAV this spring.
