Greetings,
Looking at putting a Magpul Shotgun stock on a Gibbs / Lee Enfiled Ishapore type rifle. ...please bear w/me;
I want to change the stock on my new pick up, to something a little more conducive to me, without completely messing it up, ...and hoping someone here may have some good input or have done something similar:
I have searched here, others, google, and coming up w/ very little, if anything.
Or, I'm not entering the 'right' search terms, or who knows, ...
I have a 'New-to-Me' Gibbs Rifle Co. Quest III (Lee Enfield) Carbine. The Quest III is the Electroless Nickel version w/ an ATI stock as standard 'Re-issue.'
It is a 7.62 "Jungle Carbine" / Ishapore L.E.
It is a good pick up and not all that expensive. I got a good deal & don't want to go overboard on mods or "Bubba-upping" a good rifle. It will be a hunting, plinker, and 'scout' rifle.
I'm not a fan of the actual Ishapore issued wood stocks, nor the 'sporterized' monte carlo style grip on the ATI stock. I would prefer a more Remington 700 type 'tac' rifle grip. Not interested in the AR type mod (w/full respect to SIA) I can mod the grip a bit, but...
Has anyone put a shotgun stock on a Lee Enfiled rifle?
I can only find one mention from an old post, of putting an old 870 folding choate stock on one.
I found another old post on google mentioning 'somebody-somewhere' replacing one w/ a Mossberg Shotgun stock, but no other details.
So, with MINIMAL modding, could a New style Magpul Shotgun stock be secured onto the Gibbs Rifle to replace the ATI sporter stock?
Which version, 870 or Mossberg, should be utilized?
I know I will have to add a Shim or something to fill some of the gap in the stock mount, but what else am I probably missing or not thinking of?
Thoughts, suggestions, other ideas would be greatly appreciated!
