MPI also makes a syn fiberglass M1 stock, I don't know about the hand guards. There in Portland Oregon if I have time the next time I'm down in Salem visiting I might swing by.Last edited by Phil McGrath; 01-28-2017, 02:24 AM.

There are brown plastic stocks that are called drill team stocks. They are just like a wood stock and accept all the metal fittings. They are available from Fulton Armory, though they say they are not good for heavy shooting and are not accurate. I disagree, have them on my Garands and have fired over 1,000 rounds through a couple rifles with no problems and they are accurate.

Tommo, that looks interesting. Is it lighter than a good wood set?
I might replace a clunky oversize stock set on a rifle with one.The thief may possess something he stole, but he does not own it.

The set came in, and I put the metal parts on with some filing, sanding and pounding. I then reassembled the rifle with the plastic stock. It fit very well, a little tight, but the rifle works with no binding, dragging or other fit issues. A Garand "purist" would puke at it with the obvious mold lines and reinforcing fibers showing, but it now feels far better in the hands and shoulders with the sights aligned. Overall I'm happy with the result. The only issue I have is the buttstock cavity won't allow the usual cleaning stuff. I can fix that with some tubing and spray-in foam. I now have another good utility rifle for use out on the property.The thief may possess something he stole, but he does not own it.

The rifle functioned and shot well, and to point of aim which I did not expect. This stock seems to work nicely and will remain on the rifle. I don't intend to use it for sustained firing as in a prolonged hot engagement, where the hot barrel probably would melt the plastic.Last edited by Smokey; 12-16-2020, 12:53 PM.The thief may possess something he stole, but he does not own it.
