swatti Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Just tracked down a decent second-hand ICS M4 that im hoping to turn into a SPR or some other form of sniper'ish gun but one quite large detail needs work, the stock! I'l be running it with heavy upgredes and i hate those ugly PEQ-boxes so the stock needs to hold a battery, im swapping into lipos atm so theres no need to hold a massive NIMH-battery. There seems to be HUGE amount of stocks if it were a "collapsible" one, but i dont want that. I want a full stock... There was even an airsofters review by someone about a M16-stock that took a full-size 30round mag underneath it. Tried to find it but cant remember where i saw it. I'l be also using a large'ish mosfet-circuit so fitting the battery to the buffer-tube is a no no, else the Magpull sniper-stocks would do nice. Ready-mag also doesnt look good in my eyes. Sadly the ICS receiver is a bit longer then typical AR15 so the tasty looking "M16 sniper-stock" by Right wont fit, its also quite badly at the pricey side of things. This will end up being a "budjet-build" like most of my guns. Ideas? Remember to link a pic Link to post Share on other sites
The Bushman Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 The M16 thumbhole sniper stock is aweful; avoid it like the plague. It costs the earth, yet is made from super cheap plastic and doesn't even fit on the pistol grip without leaving a large gap, showing the GB. I would just suggets getting a classic army or TM M16 stock; should be big enough for your needs, due to using lipo's. Good Hunting Link to post Share on other sites
HudsonUK Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I'm not sure if ICS M4s are actually compatible with TM style stocks; according to people I know that've owned them, the stock tube is somewhat different. (But can apparently be modded with some filing/drilling) If so; How about something like this? Lets you take LiPos inside it. Link to post Share on other sites
HudsonUK Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Sorry; just re-read the last part about no stock tube batteries. D'oh! Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Make a thumbhole stock. Bit of thick dowel from the pistol grip to the stock, then go to town on it with fibreglass and filler. There was a guide on one of the Stargate forums on how to do it to build a "Carter special" If you do, you'll probably have the only ICS that has one, being as the ICS won't take stuff designed for other guns. EDIT: I'm sure there is a better one somewhere, but this one shows the principle of it. http://www.therpf.com/f9/stargate-sg-1-carter-special-lots-pics-136408/ Link to post Share on other sites
The Bushman Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Cheers for correcting me guys. Maybe ICS just make a full stock? Good Hunting Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 If you want a full stock, get a G&G one as they dont usethe long screw the length of the stock so theres masses of room in them. You could always get a stock bag and put the battery in that? Generic Tapatalk Signature. Link to post Share on other sites
gisburn20 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I'd like to suggest this http://www.ebairsoft.com/nylon-adjustable-sniper-stock-p-5939.html not sure about battery storage ,but it looks like you could fit a fair sized "long" lipo in the tube section (due to the short attaching screw) with a mosfet because the tube itself doesnt adjust. I want one , but dont really NEED one... Jim Link to post Share on other sites
swatti Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Damn, that "carter special" looks like something i could do. Been hoping for a chance to try something like that out... Wont see many like it thats for sure. Those stocks on Ebair do look nice, not a bad price eighter but the battery-space seems a bit limited for what i need. Link to post Share on other sites
RSM Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 The standard ICS M16 stock will take a 7.4v 5000mah pack or an 11.1v 3300mah pack, just throwing it out there... Pretty much any other aftermarket stock will be a pig to fit due to the way the stock pipe/mount is an intermediate piece between the receiver and whatever stock you're fitting. I wanted to fit a G&P 'marine' stock that looks like a cross between a solid stock, wire stock and a crane stock but the amount of dremelling needed and the way it attaches to the stock pipe means it won't go on the ICS stock adaptor.

swatti Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hmm... Heres a question: "Carter special" stock. If were to build one, how do i remove the stock or the grip if i needed to? Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 On a regular aeg, you'd have enough wiggle room to get the whole thing off. On an ICS though, I couldn't say if this is the case. Link to post Share on other sites
swatti Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Well, i kinda sorted that, you need to remove the lower gearbox and then the pistol-grip would just slide off... Not a problem really when i thought it more. Link to post Share on other sites
