Let me have a dig through my inventory.
I know that I have plenty of these stocks, just don’t know if they are the complete folding units, because… MANY beers since I’ve looked at them!
I’ll make it my mission tomorrow whilst I’m in town to have a dig around for you.
Yeah, whatever you do, you’re going to need both sides of the hinge and retention assembly to guarantee functionality… if that’s the outcome you want.
If you’re not worried about it folding and you can live with a permanent fixed stock then does one of these polymer AK jobbies from Blastertech spark any ideas? It’s not exactly what you’re after but graft a vertical strut into it and it might be a step in the right direction? Cheap enough too at $18 to hack up without caring.
Maybe a cut and shut with your existing EVO stock.
The irony of all this is that by losing the EVO stock, it looks less like an EVO… which, in my mind, is undesirable… but that’s just me.
All the mods I’ve made to my Gen 8 EVO were concessions for practicality… if I could have acheived what I wanted (the ability to run a huge battery) without deviating from the original form I would have, and all the front handguard mods, whilst cool and very practical, to me are not the look I’m after and that’s just the reason why you have more than one.
My Gen 8 EVO requires two different styles of handguard depending on which mag I use… Magpul shotgun slide for the custom drum, modified MP5 BigRRR handguard for the stick. Not the greatest scenario, but I can live with it.
I do get what you’re trying to do here by replicating a specific game inspired weapon, so full respect for that. I hope you pull it off. Stick with it… you’ll find a solution eventually.
I think mine had a dob of silicone sealant on mine to keep it locked. Just needed a large Phillips head screwdriver and the silicone removed with a fingernail
I bit the bullet, cut down a stock , and got it on one post for now.
The cut /fit worked out pretty well…and its actually reasonably secure , even through one post.
Black M5 screw, 35mm long , from bunnings is a perfect fit.
Nut tightens up quite firmly…i’ll drill another hole 2morrow for the 2nd post.
That’ll give it more stability…and i’ll pack the inside with 1.5mm thick adhesive tape.
That should "bulk it out " from the inside, and secure it.
I was going to do my 2nd one black…but now i’m thinking tan…
