vorpalbunnie Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 After many skirmishes with my TM SPAS-12, I've realized that it makes my arm hurt from all the pumping. I've decided I want a stock, both to help with pumping, and to make it easier to aim. The only problem is that metal stocks for the SPAS are few and far between. The ones available on yahoo auctions are selling for $230+. I'm going to try and find a surplus M3 shorty grip, maybe a super 90 grip and stock (if I get lucky), and try to attach them with the tools I have available at my house! (Which means: Screwdriver, hammer, super glue, pocket knife with tiny saw, pliers, a wrench, and some epoxy) Before I start, if any TM M3 & SPAS owners want to tell that the parts are completely incompatible and that I'm an idiot, please do.

notrabies Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hold on my friend! With some modification the KTW TM SPAS stock will fit the Marui, and they're not too pricy at all: http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/ktw-spas-custom-metal-stock-set-for-ktw-only.html This might be enough detail to let you complete your mod: http://www.airsoftforum.com/board/lofiversion/index.php/t197290.html Link to post Share on other sites

notrabies Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 From my loose understanding, I think you can just use the TM bolt on the KTW grip and stock and be all set, things only get really tricky when you want to put the KTW stock on the Marui. Link to post Share on other sites

Avenger96 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 A dremel is worth the $50. If you get a KTW folder you will instantly have the sexyest gun on the field, the M3 stock would just be wierd(maybe cool wierd, maybe ugly wird) Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 The KTW stock will apparently mod onto the TM grip. Its something I am hoping to do to mine at some point. Link to post Share on other sites

Avenger96 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 The problem is that I'm on the 20th floor of an apartment building. So? They aren't loud enough to disturb anyone unless you have the speed cranked all the way up and don't draw much power. Link to post Share on other sites
vorpalbunnie Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 So? They aren't loud enough to disturb anyone unless you have the speed cranked all the way up and don't draw much power. Okay, it's more of a problem that my parents don't want me to use power tools in the house. I miss having a garage, trust me. Anyways I found a use super 90 grip and stock for $30 so I'm going to try that. There weren't any KTW stocks for sale anyways, and I can't order from HK now. Link to post Share on other sites
vorpalbunnie Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 TM M3 stock fits on fine, all you need is a screwdriver So, $50 and 5 days later, I'm stuck with an M3 stock sitting on my window sill. I think it's reasonable that I'm frustrated and frankly irate that you didn't know for sure. Link to post Share on other sites

With the right bit of modding and say 1 or 2 hours work it fits just fine. I have done one already, thinking of doing a second pretty soon. It will fit on within minutes, however if you wish the stock locking pin / stud to work, that is here the time is. Some very patient time with a dremmel and top result.

I'm $50 down and with a useless stock. I'd rather make that stock work then spend $60-$70 on another. I'm searching for a workshop that will let me borrow their tools (in shop).

Aitch Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Did you buy a TM M3 stock? you slip off the end rubber and slide it on, it slides at an upward angle if I recall correctly then screw it on, put on the butt plate, I did it in 2002 so it can be done. Link to post Share on other sites
vorpalbunnie Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Yes. I bought a slightly used Super 90 stock. The SPAS's spring sticks out of the back of the receiver. It pushes up against the plastic inside the stock. I'll take pictures tomorrow. I'm too tired now to disassemble the SPAS grip again. Link to post Share on other sites

I asked a physics teacher at my school and he is letting me borrow a brand new Dremel kit for the weekend. This way my parents can't say no . I will be "dremel-ing" the M3 stock to fit my SPAS.

vorpalbunnie Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Alas, not even the mighty Dremel 3000 could make it fit. Case closed. Link to post Share on other sites

vorpalbunnie Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 The main reason I gave up is that the stock screw that goes through the entire stock to go into the receiver is not at the same height as it is on the SPAS. (That sentence sucks). As in, I'd have to pull apart the SPAS mechanisms and drill out more holes, re-arrange parts, build a new gun, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Black Templar Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Sorry chap. I was referring to the KTW metal folding stock fitting the TM. Link to post Share on other sites
vorpalbunnie Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Well now I need opinions. Because I have this stock, I'm considering just buying an M3 as no one makes parts (or anything) for the TM SPAS. Link to post Share on other sites
