USMC M1014 stock 2 or 3 position?

**bmmc** · 07-22-2007, 12:21 AM

Does anyone know if the M1014 used my the military has a two or three position stock?
My M4 LE (11707) is a three position but I seem to recall discussion of two position stock as well.
Does anyone have a good pic?

Thanks, BMMC

11707 and M1014 are the same. There are 2 extended positions, and fully collapsed, for a total of 3. One can also use the takedown notch, but the buttstock will not be secured from rotating.

originally it was lock in fully open,lock in fully closed,,and a take off mode,,very unsafe position,,that was then.

I agree fully with the unsafe nature of using the take down notch as a position fire shooting. I do wish that there were more notches, i.e. one every inch +/-. With a full length barrel, or when wearing a tac vest, it would be very nice to have more LOP options. Good call #17(?).

$99.-- This is the two position (all open/all close) But at this price you can mod it yourself, the notches can be done with a dremel and stone.

I've ordered the Numrich 2 position tube. Eight of them in fact. And they've shipped one. I have a machinist that can cut the extra position but, I'm really trying to find out what the exact layout of the .mil issue M1014, or the history of such if it's changes as M1014 suggests. The preliminary technical manual suggests it is a two position tube. Anyone have firsthand knowledge?

Thanks for the replies so far.

you are VERY WRONG.....1014 has a non-collapsible skeletonized stock...only like 2 position...fully extended an then like 1/2 inch in...a 11707 true M4 can take a collapsible stock where it will retract to 3 set positions all the way out to fully flush against the reciever...if the serial # has 1014 in it, the stock will not collapse...

I think you may have misunderstood the question GunCrazyD, bmmc was referring to the military M1014, the true joint combat shotgun. This does have a collapseable stock (and is unavailable to mortals). There is also a "commemritve 1014" or something like that, that was marketed as a civilian shotgun, but I do not think this post is in referance to that model.
