I just received my Troy MCS stock today from Tony at: Law483 and would be remiss if I didn't share what a tremendously high-quality piece of hardware this is. Absolutely stunningly well-made. Tony should be proud of his brainchild!
I enter this thread, fully realizing that some reading it are "purists" who for the thought of mounting an M-14 in this stock would be nothing short of blasphemy. To me, "purist" is not a bad word whatsoever. I too have that love for wood and steel. I also have a love for progress and innovation and the Troy MCS exemplifies this remarkably. The Troy MCS isn't for everyone, but it sure is for me...
I have the standard A2 configuration for the moment and will be mounting my SOCOM-16 in this stock for the time being. The myriad of configurations this rifle can now accept are staggering. From folders, to adjustable buttstocks, (ie: Magpul), to grips, (both fore and aft) and countless optics, BUIS and light combinations - truly amazing. Eventually, the Troy will host an 18" Scout and my SOCOM will reside in HalfMoa's RRM. For the moment however, the SOCOM will be put through it's paces in the Troy MCS.
Those out there thinking of upgrading and modernizing their rifles who may be thinking Vltor or Sage, should really give Law483 a shout. The modular design, BUIS/cowitness opportunity, hassle-free optics mounting and no need for tools for takedown were a big draw for me, (plus it's made in Massachusetts - now at the old Springfield Armory). I'll be spending my afternoon mounting my SOCOM on deck and will hopefully have preliminary range reports available in the coming days. For the moment, I've attached a nude photo of the Troy MCS - will update you when it get's dressed...
