polytech m1a/m14

Miaggi

can anyone help me with trying to fit a bm59 collapsable on my polytech ? can this be done? is it drop in? or major work? always liked the bm59 look, thank you

you will need a fair amount of modifications done for it to fit, and it would need to be done by a very talented woodworker/stock maker to be done right.
Not worth the effort or cost imho.
the bm59 folder is worth a pretty penny in it's original form, converting it will really deflate its value.
Better to look for a springfield armory m1a folder on the used market, probably worth the same as your bm59 folder and would be a wash as far as cost goes.

thank you, do they make a similiar folder? i wasnt aware?
thank you in either case and i kind of figured that

the Springfield folder is long discontinued , thats why I suggested trying to find a used one.
they are rare, but are out there, just like the bm 59.

It doesn't seem to me to be a good idea to put a wire stock on any high power rifle. You need a good, solid cheek weld on a stock to 1) properly align the sights, & 2) dissipate the recoil. Yes, it will look "cool", but it's just not practical.

yes , you are right, definately not practical, but i do love the "cool" factor, LOL

Have you thought of a sage ebr stock? Love mine but it is heavy. Tim

I'd skip the folder altogether and put some nice GI wood on there:

The Springfield M1A folder is NOT a wire stock
I bet you are thinking of the m1 carbine folder
