William.m Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Hi all, I am thinking of chopping up my TM M14 Socom to one of the two designs below. The plan is to chop up the stock and reduce the length and the same with the heat guard. The lower barrel will be removed if possible. I will install a low profile mount on the rear to hold my red dot scope. I am hoping that this will help reduce the weight of the gun or at the very least bring the weight backwards towards me so that the gun is not so front heavy. That and I absolutely dig the look of a monster M1 carbine! haha For my crazy project I need to source a M14 stock and a M14 heat guard. I don't care as to the colour or condition as it will all get a spraypaint most likely. If you have any of these kicking about please let me know! Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 What country are you in? I'm in the UK and have a cyma stock from a socom, which are TM compatible Edit, it's in good condition, was originally plastic 'wood effect' which I keyed and spray painted.

William.m Posted April 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Before my time im afraid.. or if it isn't then I didn't watch it. I think that the tv show was after the vietnam war so plenty of M14's swimming around that I think. I didn't know it was going to be so hard to find a spare TM stock.

sandstorm Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 A-Team TV-Series used Ruger Mini-14's and especially the AC556 select-fire variant, not full-scale M14's, as far as I recall. Link to post Share on other sites

Murdoc Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 I already made similar ones in two aspect. The front sight on my chopped M14 is similar to your plan (It can be fixed with screw anywhere on the barrel): If you cut the sock and the heat shield carefully (on at-about permanent croos section part), you can gule them together with resin and fiberglass. As for the other parts, I would get a non-SOCOM gasblock, and would cut the charging handle guide tube ant the spring too... Sorry for picture flood... Link to post Share on other sites
