More heavy weather, so anyhow I was working on converting my now seldom-used Match Rifle to what I call a “California Neutral” condition – and it only took a couple things: an Exile Machine “Headbutt” grip-adapter and my old Mossberg shotty-stock, and lacking a backing plate on the A2 rifle-length buffer-tube, a 4-40 tap and a 4-40 x 1/8″ set-screw available at your local TrueValue hardware store. A dab of grease on the tap and the shavings are collected and wiped away. Take it easy and use your fingertips to guide the tap like a pencil, it only takes about seven threads in depth. Luckily I had a teeny-tiny allen-wrench to insert the set-screw. Remember to cut the spring because you don’t need as much length.
Yeh the rifle looks horrible and stupid but the grip is actually pretty comfortable and there’s my Mossberg stock back in action instead of sitting in a box under the table.
It looks stupid but returns to me a functioning mag release instead of the dreaded “bullet-button.”
You see, the raving bat-shit crazy nitwits in the One-Party Stupidslature got so wound up about the “bullet-button” that they issued a host of ridiculous and incomprehensible directives, some of which the pulled-back when threatened by the NRA and CRPA lawyers – but we always await further nonsense from the Moron League (and my apologies to real Morons).

That brings new meaning to the term: fuggly
I’m thinking that, at this point, you might as well whip up some sort of body shell along the lines of the weapons in Aliens, or some other sci-fi movie. It’s getting bulky and blocky, might as well design something better looking to fit the needed parameters.
Cheekweld looks tough.
You just lean up against the buffer tube. I got a long neck so it’s ok – but cold, needs a bit of foam or leather wrapping.
Exile Machine also has dense-foam buffer tube socks.
I was looking at those, the tube is chilly and the foam would make a better cheek-weld.
