My New M1A EBR!
Thanks for all the help guys. This is what your help has helped me build. Sorry for the poor images but sadly the best camera I have is on my phone.

I also found out just how fast the Sage stocks fly off the shelf. I ordered mine from Clyde Armory 1 day before they recieved a shipment of 100 of them. When I checked their website 5 days later they were sold out.

Are you planning to add the EBR trigger shoe and a full auto cut-out cover?
The NSG FACC may be hard to get right now, contact Tammy at SAGE if you want one. Also, is the AFG rock solid the way you have it mounted? .

The AFG is very solid. The gap is odd looking ain't it? I was a little skeptical of using both the kydex foregrip and AFG at the same time but it turned out very sturdy. And by the way SR240 your input during this build was a HUGE help. Thanks goes out to you in particular.

Heat shield
SR420- do they make something to replace the ugly polymer heat shield?

I am happy to be of service
You will need an inch pound torque wrench because the action needs to be removed from the chassis before you can install the FACC. You may be able to find a low cost wrench online... it doesn't need to be fancy. I went without the FACC for about 8 years so it shouldn't be a priority. I do suggest that you buy an NSG one when you find one because they are not easy to find. The AFG gap did catch my eye, but it being solid is all that matters.

There is no 'other' heat shield that I know of.
I've run mine with and without the Kydex cover and currently run the factory cover on my Mod 0 and a Magpul RFG with ladder rail covers on my CQB-16.

WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is a nice rifle, I have been thinking about either putting together a "M16" sized AR next or something in 308...votes are for something in 308 now. |

School me on mounting a SAGE stock to an M1A receiver/barrel.
Is this something considerably more involved than installing any other typical stock? Are there special tools or any degree of fitting involved? Mind you, my experience is more with M1 Garands than M1A/M14s. Last edited by Fishbed77; August 30, 2012 at 11:30 PM. |

Fishbed, the worst part is getting the castle nut off. I broke a pair of castle nut pliers trying. One that is off, the instead is dead simple

Wow, I like the idea of the EBR trigger shoe but is it really worth almost $70 for something that looks like it could be made on my lathe and break?

Hundreds of satisfied users of the EBR trigger shoe would testify that it's really worth more than $70.
Keep in mind that the V2 design is the result of the hard work by the good people at TACOM-RI, NSWC CRANE & Xtreme and that it's designed for military use.

Looks sexy, but how much does that beast weigh?

Sorry, haven't been on in a while.
joneeman its a little on the heavy side (I couldn't give you an exact weight) but I have a Specter 3 point sling with HK hooks that helps disperse the weight very nicely.

The trigger shoe IS worth it. With a pistol grip and the original trigger, you get stabbed in the finger pretty much. The trigger shoe gives a nice flat surface to pull on, and the pull/break feels better. The original trigger is meant for a stock with no pistol grip, and as such as designed for your hand to be at that angle.

Wow, this looks outstanding. I completely dig the aesthetic of the rifle. Is there a build thread that went with this that I could review? Can I ask a ballpark build/assembly cost?
