Making a trip to "Fred's" (M14 stock stuff)

[cuppednlocked]

From what I gather there isn't a show room. All I am doing is placing an order and picking it up from the warehouse. If you inquire about the E2 stocks and he has them I can pick one up for you if the price is right. When I emailed Fred he was quick to respond if you can't catch him via phone.

I don't know enough about the stocks to describe the big red birch variety, but I am certain M14 receivers (issued) were only front lugged like the Garand. If I guessed I'd say yours that have the rear lug cutout were modified by a military shooting team or civilian.

I'll see about the bronto-burgers and ribs though!

does anyone have a picture of the big red birch stocks? I have 2 never been issued or finished USGI stocks. They are inleted for a rear lug reciever, and are very big. They are birch. Just wondering if they are the same as the big red birch Fred is selling?

The Big Red stocks are normal birch M14 stocks (not inletted) just oversized. Atleast thats the way I aways described them

These came from a military shooting team, that no longer uses the M14. They may have just bought civilian stocks, but they have the cut out for the full auto switch, and a part number on them.

I've purchased from Fred in the past as well as last week. Many on the CMP forum have criticized him for being slow. While he isn’t as fast as Shuff, I have found his deliveries to be very timely.
It would be nice to see a few pics of his operation if that is possible.

I have two E2s purchased from Freds years ago. One walnut, one birch w/all hardware. Interested?

Also have an original M1A SA walnut folder, all hardware, pristine (minor dent where when folded touches wood),

and two Nigerian M1 Pistol Grip w/no metal...

How did the trip to Freds go ? I am curious about what lay in the bowels of Freds warehouse?

[cuppednlocked]

Still have not heard back about the visit.

[cuppednlocked]

And waiting... Still no return contact.

I don't think I have ever worked so hard to give someone money before... I thought this was going to be easy!

There is no reports of it ever being easy to shop with Fred's. None.
