I'm getting a new Poly to replace me old one, and I was wondering if anyone has tried cutting/milling out a channel for the bayonet on a black plastic stock set? I have a set on the way, and I'm considering giving this a try. I figure if it's an unlined lower HG, then I can use a router bit or similar to cut the bayonet channel. This will allow me to save my wood stock set from being beaten up, and I think it'll look pretty cool, too...

Buy a new set of wood for the spike bayo model, then save the originals for showing off or safe duty.

I am sure with minimal skillz you could mill it correctly on a drill press.

:neutral: Kinda depends on how thick the poly stuff is. Might not have it thick enough. The Polytech wood sets are awful purdy. Just received a complete set for a friend. Damn nice and a good price. Anything under $200.00 is $7.00 to ship. Cain't beat that. :wink: Madtechcool

Well, I'm on the lookout for a black US made stock set to try this trick on. I'm gonna make sure that there's enough "meat" on the lower HG to be able to mill the channel for the bayonet. As long as the HG meets that criterion, I think I'm golden...

If nothing else, I can just install the set on my MAK-90 if it doesn't work on the spiker...

I don't think you will be able to do that, the interior of the lower has ridge
made for the cleaning rod & the rest is thin so what would happen is you end up destroying the lower.

If you decide to get a wood hg with the milled channel, I have a new extra in Poly honey brown if you are interested.

Does that lower HG have a reinforcing pin going through the wood, with the ends exposed on both sides. Mine has a pin in it that's sanded off flush with the wood, and that thing burns the hell out of my fingers when i shoot. My old Poly didn't have that...
If your HG doesn't have that pin in it, LMK and we can talk.

Thanks!

:neutral: Sounds like you've got laminated furniture. The pin that you're talkin' about is a reinforcement to keep the laminate together. AFAIK the chi-coms didn't use laminate. Madtechcool

Drill presses are not any good for milling. They don't have enough rigidity.
You'll probly ruin it........

No... my Chinese lower has that pin too, no way it's laminate, it's blonde wood with a varnish finish on it.
