how close is the stock to a real M1 Garand , type of wood ? are you able to interchange the stock?

I am not sure if the stock can be replaced with a GI issue stock. However the quality of this M1 Garand is perfect and does not need any changes or upgrades. Add a good leather sling and you can't tell it from a real one.

Externally the geometry of the stock is identical--it feels the same as the real deal and the weight is essentially identical, but I don't know if it is actually Walnut [like the real deal]. If you're looking for an authentic look and feel, this thing delivers, but if you're looking for a source of parts for a working Garand I think you'll be disappointed. On the outside, the stock couldn't be more accurate, but you have to bear in mind that the insides of the three pieces [particularly the rear] have been milled out far more extensively to wrap around an authentic receiver etc... I can't imagine that the amount of work that would go into disassembling the faux Garand [a task in itself--as the pieces are joined by more than just screws], machining the inside to precise specifications and affixing them to legitimate hardware will be less expensive and time consuming than buying an actual replacement stock. In short, It looks like walnut, feels identical in shape and weight, but is never gonna be an ideal source for parts...

I think it would be marginal. From the face of the walnut to the end of the rest--where the barrel could rest is about two inches. I really like mine for rifles, currently M1903A3, M1903A4, and M1 Garand, but the pegs may not be long enough for a double barrel shotgun. It may be possible with your 16 gauge barrels.

More for a wooden type stock. Mini 14. But can work. Just tried it on one if the AR's. It will work. Better for fuller stock. Mini 14, Rem 700.

I believe you will find you will have to some minor fitting. The ATI stock is close, but because of the numerous variations on Mosin, a purely drop in stock probably is not readily available. This stock is about as good as it gets.

It works great on my m1-a. I have a springfield armory Ultimate-match grade with a wood stock, I had to grind down the stock just a little with a dremel on the inside to make it fit and lay flush. The modification took less than a minute once disassembled. I use it as both a bipod mount and sling mount, I have had no complaints it works very well.

Jim, I had attempted to use this on a wooden stock. I have no experience on the composite stocks. It did not fit at all close to my wooden stock. I complained, they returned some answer which was not satisfactory to me. (Dealer to/from factory) I bought an alternate brand and fitted to the stock myself. Lots of wasted time !!

This is a replica of the M1 bayonet.It was ment for the M1 Garand and the M1903 Sprinfield.It WILL NOT fit the M1A.M14.These rifles take the M6 bayonet.

The Truth... No. The Springfield M1A Scout fires the 7.62 NATO round (.308 WIN). Even with the reduced recoil the Scout boosts, this is still to large of a caliber rifle for this scope to hold zero. Even if you sighted it in... after the first 10 rds you'd have to dial it in again and this makes for a frustrating day at the range. Also, think of the design of the M1A. The rail sits forward in front of the bolt unlike say a Ruger Mini 14 with a rail that bridges the breach. When you factor in that and the length of the M1A stock, the distance between your eye and the scope is to far causing negative "Eye Relief" issues. Remember the distance between your eye and the scope should be 3"-4". If your looking for a good scope in the $100 range try Simmons or Barska. Personally I would recommend the FSI Sniper 6-24x50mm with front AO adjustments and multi color reticle. The FSI will running you about $200 but I've heard people picking them up on sale for around $125. Deffenently well worth it thou.

This is not a bantam stock. It is exactly the same size as the manufacturer's wooden stock that came with my Mossberg 500.

This is a good question and I wish I knew the correct answer. You might want to send an email to Hogue. I bought this for my wife's 20 gauge Mossberg 500 because the standard stock was just a little to long for her to be comfortable when shooting. The shorter stock is exactly what she wanted.

Yes you will be able to use your iron sights due to the Springfield mounts high clearance over them. The height of the scope may cause a problem with cheek weld to the stock. I changed out my M1A stock to a Archangel stock which has an adjustable cheek weld and length of pull for a more custom fit and I love it. You could also purchase strap on welds that will bring your eye level up to the scope while maintaining a weld on the stock.

First off I'd have to say your weakest link is the swivel stud in that soft wood stock. If the stud is securely in the wood stock and we are not talking about wood as soft as balsam wood then you should be okay. Check out this link and look at the guy's modded gun about three-quarters down the blog. http://www.gunandgame.com/forums/mosin-nagant/106320-pics-your-mosin-nagant-mods-what-you-have-where-you-got.html Hope this helps.

Yes they are real wood. I like the gun a lot but,the safety is plastic and the right one broke after about one hundred shots. I think it is from the stricker hitting the plastic. The safety still works but only on the left side.

I would have to dig through my safe to measure it but they fit ANY Euro Warsaw Pact buttstock that I have ever attempted to mount them on and that includes AKs from several countries. Sorry but I simply cannot find the time right now to dig in and measure the distance. They DO work on all wood stock Euro AK's that I am aware of.

All acessories are interchange able as on any rifle with a m1913 rail. And ive had this rifle for 3 years and its still going strong. Id get this rifle and a new rear sight for target pratice. I'd suggestGlobal Military Gear AR-15 Detachable A2 Rear Sight

Yes, you may have to purchase a longer nut. I actually converted a new 500 to a pre 60s model. I liked the walnut better than the maple. It made a very nice shot gun when I was done. As far as I know all parts to the moss verge 500 are inner changeable with a few small hic ups. They make a 6 1/2 and a 7'' slide tube , but otherwise they are pretty much the same today as 50 years ago. I hope this helps! J
