More to follow... |

Well, how much does it weigh? Oh yeah, more details to follow. I'm getting ahead of you.
|
|
damn. I see my bank account figures dwindling rapidly in the near future...

1. Does anyone have a realiable estimated MSRP?
2. How well does this set up retain zero with the BUIS? |
|
oooooh that is cool...!
Dare I ask what the pricing will be ... ? |
|
IM sent ~ |
|
|
Glad it finally made it out... I've been waiting for this for some time!
Couple small things I would prefer different, but I think Troy hit pretty close to the mark with this. CTay |
|
So pricing?
And what is the mission of this (very cool) chassis? Is it meant to bring the M14 into the CQB arena or is it a precision type thing? What other mods are necessary? I notice there is no GLFS ... or any FS for that matter ... and only a BUIS. Weight? |
|
Thanks waterman!
That's actually better than I was expecting price wise. Very interesting options there! |
|
H20_MAN, is the rifle in your picture loaded with twenty rounds of ammunition? IOW, with ammunition, the rifle as pictured is 12 pounds or 13 pounds (one pound for the ammo)?
TIA |
|
It's about 12 pounds as pictured with 20 rounds of ammo in the mag |
|
|
Thanks, H20_MAN. So, the Troy Industries M14 MCS with EOTech sight in your photo is about 1/2 pound heavier than a USGI M14 with a USGI synthetic stock and USGI nylon small arms sling with a full magazine.
|
|
The weight includes the BUIS and the M93B. I bring this up because the M93B weighs about a pound more the VLTOR stock that TROY had installed. |

According to the Law483 site this stock could still be a year out on deliveries or am I reading it wrong?
Also you said you have to supply the stock. Do you mean supply it to LAW483 or just that you assemble it yourself? Thanks |
|
Sorry for the confusion on my site! I will make it less confusing. I don't have a firm ship date yet, but based on my conversations with Steve Troy I expect to have stocks between 15 December and 11 January. Maybe sooner, but I think mid-December is realistic timing. Take Care, Tony |

Udated |
|
|
Not bad at all.
It looks like it will feel alot better than a Sage in the handling department. And I've seen 2 different pistol grips on it, a Magpul MIAD, and a Tango Down. Which one will it come with stock? And is that piece of metal around the barrel the same as the one for the Sage? And we need a RANGE REPORT on it's accuracy! |
|
It came with the TD and I installed the Magpul items. It will be sold naked. Put whatever pistol grip and butt stock you want on it. Yes, that is the SAGE op rod guide block. Steve and I made it fit, then decided to stay with plan A. I will replace the sage guide with a GI guide and head for the range. I will campare it with my Crazy Horse MK14 SEI. |

sexiest thing I've seen since the rabbi's daughter was playmate of the month.

H2O man,
It would be great to see a more defined pic of the receiver area and magazine well from the inside. How about a look down the sight plane from the rear of the stock too? Thanks |

Thanks Tony, I appreciate it and those shots are great but not quite the exact view looking down into the receiver fit and mag well from above I was hoping for and the sight plane view from rear. More of a view from the way it would look to your eyes with you in cheekweld to the buttstock about to take a shot and the receiver fit as if you just took your receiver out of the stock and were looking straight down into the stock. |
|
This rifle is currently a pile of parts, I will make a point to photograph those angles as I put it back together. Give me a few days ~ |
|
|
Thanks H2Oman |

Perfect, that's just what I was looking for, thank you again.
Excellent precision work as always with Troy products and it looks very similar to a usgi cut on the inside in many ways too. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the stock progresses to the final production model. |
|
|
That's your M1A receivered action right? How was the lockup and how tight was it? There's no adjustment anywhere I see on the stock to receiver fit so how it fits is how it fits. I'm dying to see how Steve Troy works out the gap. I'll be looking forward to your further range report on the stock with this action. |
|
|
Yep, I supplied everything pictured except the chassis stock and BUIS. The lockup is as tight as it is in the SAGE and the MCS does have adjustments... one for rear sight rail elevation, one on each side of the trigger group pad and one up front on the barrel. All of the adjustments were used to fit the SOCOM action Steve had in it. None of these adjustments were needed to fit my MK14 SEI action built on a Norinco. The chassis is made for GI receivers. The ChiCom receiver locks in just like a GI receiver. |
