A friend of mine came upon this while cleaning out an abandoned property he owns.
1. What does it go to?
2. How much would building it up from here cost
3. Can the receiver be milled/created in a home shop with limited tools
Sorry for bad quality
1: it looks like an m14 stock.
2: too damn much
3: not a chance.

Whats the cost compared to buying an M14 brand new?

You'd be better off buying an M1A or something and fitting that stock to it if you really wanted to use that stock.
Otherwise sell the stock. Good stocks are always needed.
>>34588612
lol. It's literally just a piece of wood. No, you cannot build an entire rifle out of the stock. Well, you could, but YOU can't since you were retarded enough to ask this.

You have a point but I'm autistically optimistic about this build.
>>34589041
more than just buying one. generally its cheaper to buy than attempt to source all the pieces. the exception being the ar.
all you have here is the piece of wood. you're not going to build a rifle out of it. sell it to someone who wants to replace the stock on the rifle he already has

>this build
What build? You don't have anything. I'm sorry man, I don't mean to shit on your parade but all you have is a stock. If you had a receiver then maybe, but you dont have shit. You don't have any tools and you don't know how to hand fit parts. You would be much better off just buying a rifle at this point.
This is like finding a muffler on the side of the road and wanting to build a Ferrari out of it.
That's a civilian stock. No cutout for the M14 selector. Might be interested in buying it for my M1A.

If you had all the tools to build an M14 and the cheapest source of used parts, you'd save about $40 using this stock vs buying one. But in real life most component parts are more expensive than buying a prebuilt. Figure about $1400 to build one vs $1100 to buy a good used one.

>Can the receiver be milled/created in a home shop with limited tools
There's literally a huge book about how complicated the design and manufacturing process of the M14 was. Even with modern small shop techniques there's some guy trying to sell his M14 receiver tooling for around 8 grand right now.

eh, I've gotten excited over less...
>>34589409
So you're saying there's a chance?
Or at least a chance to find it a good home
>>34589458
just sell it dude
>>34589458
how much money are you willing to throw down a pit to make your dreams come true?

Fuck it, I'll just go buy a c308 or something. Thanks for the help though guys
I was looking forward to maybe buying and building it with my dad when I got back into town. Just something to do, maybe mill a few pieces here and there.
