Project pondering…
I have been playing around with a few ideas for my next project. Money is a bit of an issue right now, so it’s likely going to be minor upgrades to my existing collection as opposed to a whole new addition. The front runner at this time is simply more stock work on my Norinco M14S, along with the possibility of shipping the rifle off for a professional front to back repark.
I have enjoyed painting up the stocks I have (I’m now up to three stocks for this poor rifle) but I am seriously considering dropping the M14S into an untouched original stock, and going a little bananas with the two already painted stocks.
I can’t help but think this is the time for me to experiment with the CADPAT/MARPAT paint scheme, and perhaps a something a shade more outrageous (especially as I’ve had that little airbrush sitting in the closet for months now). Some lessons learned from the Anti-Zombie Rifle Stock might just make for a reasonable attempt this time.
Anyone have any interesting ideas for an unusual M14 stock project? I’d love to hear’em.
[Edit: Wow. The standard stock is ugly, I’m going to take photos of the rifle in the three stocks and post a poll. I can’t be the only one that things this.]
