I had personally found that crawling on my stomach with the original tanaka m700 aics stock cumbersome. Does anyone know if a stock like this: http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/4831188
would work? I have read that it will fit with minor modification. Has anyone tried fitting one? Can it be done with a dremle and sand paper? What would I have to do about the mag release?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

It should. The magazines are in the same place, and though I am unsure about the AICS, the mag release is contained in the trigger guard assembly with the M700s that I have seen.

I'll take your AICS stock, if you don't want it anymore, PM me!

On the AICS the stock's mag release is just infront of the trigger guard. It is a lever, sort of like the mag release on a G3 or PSG-1. And i never said I was going to sell the stock

The only real difference between the m700, m40a1, and acis is the stock its self the bolts and trigger assembly are basically the same. The only difference is the m40a1 has a shorter barrel then the others. What I am doing is taking a stock from a CAm24 and am going to mod it to fit the m700. When I get the stock I will make a how to, but im just waiting to buy it from some one on this site.

Also that stock might work, the hols seam to be in the right spot but I dont know if the metal piece around the trigger on the acis is the same as a m700, but i can look around for you and have a answer shortly.

Ok after some researching i found out that the upper assembly can be swapped only with a whole m24/m40 stock because of this piece.(in the yellow box)

You would need one like this to fit a m24/m40 style stock.(Again in yellow)

Hope this helped

Darn... Ah well, I knew it was a long shot...(pun intended)

^^^^Edited above post^^^^

Will delete this when original poster see's the answer.

I have seen somebody put a tanaka in that exact same type of stock, with a few mods. it will work, but you may have to drill a hole or two for the foward barrel mount/QD that comes with your outer barrel.

I know im bringing this thread back from the dead but could I buy a broken KJW m700(non-takedown version) and drop my upper reciver into the stock? Id be willing to do modifications.

 

[Cheese Man]

Probably. If you could post pics of the bottom of your receiver, that would help out a lot.

 

[toomanybbs]

Didn't know which parts you wanted a pic of...so I took pics. of all of it

Like I said before as long as you have the part in the yellow box then you are good to go. No mod's needed the upper receiver meaning the bolt, and trigger box are the same on the m700, m40, m24. so you can change them if you get a boneyard with that part that is in the yellow box.

Just the last pic would be fine...Thanks anyway

Listen to hidden, he is correct.

 

[toomanybbs]

I asked on another forum and a guy said for the kjw stock I would have to tap the stock to make additional attachment points and also he said I would have to widden out the barrel part. What do I guys think of this? And if I did use a kjw stock it would most deffinetly come with the trigger guard and the magwell.
Thanks again for your guyses help.

 

[Cheese Man]

You should be fine. The KJW barrel area in the stock is HUGE.

 

[toomanybbs]

Ok, thanks guys. Im going the kjw route

Hey guys Yesterday I received an M700 Police, I really don't like the police model mostly because the slim barrel so I'm gone replace it with the G&G heavy barrel. I'm thinking to convert the stock to McMillan A4 so to make it M40A3, Can someone give the M40A3 Stock dimensions? A bit more detailed dimensions than the ones McMillan provides.

Thanks
Wolf

If you're dishing out for a McMillan stock, you might as well get one cut for a Remmy 700 SA. Should be a drop in to that cut with a little bit of modification to the mag well area.

 

[wesley810]

SWAT Raptor s right. You can just purchase one cut for a Rem700 short action, but it will be pricey. The cheapest I could ever find it was around $500. It would look so nice though.

 

[Wolfgeorge]

$500?? I've purchased the whole gun with mags bipod and scope for $300.
It's a thought I'd like to it like that. I'll do some research and I'll see maybe I came across with a cheaper stock.
Unfortunately I don't own and I haven't seen any M40A3 around to take measurement so if some own one please help.

Wolf

 

[wesley810]

Yep, they are pretty pricey. That's probably the cheapest you'll find one, unless you come across a great deal on a used one. There was a guy on another forum that made his own stock. Here's the link. He actually did a really good job on it.
