Billhag Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Does anyone know if the MR E-11's stock can be modded to fold and be fully functional? Thanks! Luis I ask this question around this time last year and the answer is yes, but.....its not very straight forward The stock as been secured to the inside of the front of the barrel vent casing. What you have to do is take the front barrel off, which can be easy or hard depending on how well its been sealed.You need to take the front screws/bolts out and then use these holes to try and twist the front off. I've heard some have just come off with a pair of needle nose plyers and a wee bit of preasure, but others have had to be heated up and the grany knocked out of them before they've worked free .When and if you get the front off, its just a question of getting rid of the gunk holding the stock in place and the stock is good to go. It won't function exacly the same as a Sterling but it does collapse and fold. You will have to also think of a way of securing it in the locked position as there will be nothing to hold it in place anymore. There were a few tutorials on the RPF and Rebel Scum. In one of them the guy completely stripped one down...VERY SCARY I hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a place where you can get a real folding stock for $50 it's from the MK4 sterling. not the mk3 like some are selling. PM me if you want the details.

Madmartigan Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 The answer is yes, but like Bill said it takes work. I bought an MR E-11 that was no longer pristine and made several mods to it, including functioning stock. You pull the front of the barrel off exactly as he said. Then the work began. I use some washers and a screw to secure the stock in place when I don't want it to unfold and a rare earth magnet to hold the butt end of the stock to the main frame when it's folded up: I also drilled out the cocking lever slot, added a different inner barrel and the Doopydoos resin cocking lever and other parts, but that's a whole different story. With a little work, you can get these about as close to the real thing as possible. But, boy -- the weights a slave Leia! lol Cheers!

james007bond[TK] Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 OMG, now that's an impressive mod Chris.... do tell this story.... How difficult was it to drill out the cocking lever slot? If anyone has a battered MR E-11, i'd be willing to do this mod...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
