I was interested in putting the Sage EBR stock on my match M1A, but I noticed on Fulton Armory’s site that they say the stock will not fit on rifles with heavy barrels. Is this accurate information? My M1A is the Springfield Super Match with a Douglas Heavy Match barrel. The receiver also has the rear lug.
The rifle has always shot great, but I’ve never been a big fan of the oversized wood stock that it came with.
SAGE makes a different top hanguard for match really heavy barrels. These had less holes for the mounting screws which will allow the use of a heavier barrel. Call SAGE for this part.
I had a M1A loaded, Sage upper piece wouldnt clear the barrel. This was a few years ago when the stock was band new, AFAIK they have worked around that issue.
i guess i should have been more specific.
Yes, Sage makes a different hanguard top with less screws,
it is used for medium contour or medium heavy.
Thats as big as you can go barrel wise with the Sage stock.
