Just because I can...
i got got the bare action (complete less wood) for a song on GB...
15" quad rail free- float AR tube- cut out sides and bottom to leave top rail, bolted to existing reciever holes. rear sight dovetail filled with insert drilled and tapped for 1 more screw (like a Mega XS scout rail/ forend). Shortened barrel, turned down for Flash hider/ brake off a Romanian PSL/FPK - silver soldered and cross pinned. Part of an AK gas block cut to leave the Bayonet lug. Will have to cut out where that ring would interfere with mag tube, so it'll clock at between 1 and 2 o'clock.
'Wrist Stock' fabricated out of three layers of aluminum plate (center fits inside tangs and has original stock bolt through) with sides bolted in from R & L (contoured to allow grip. At rear will be a rectangle plate welded and D&Td to affix Folding mechanism (to left side) with a shortened M4 receiver extension and collapsible stock. Likely gonna sew a 'rigger gear' fold down outta pack nylon that'll have loops to hold 8-10 rounds on right side of stock. Maybe a single-point sling at the rear of the Wrist-stock below the folder block.
Again, just because I can, and 'cause it'll ruffle the right feathers! Should be handi and compact. Not sure I'd fire it with stock folded...
Rest assured, I already have very pretty 336 in .35 Rem (waffle-top), an 1895 in .45-70 (with gorgeous wood), a 1894 with nice walnut, a pair of Rossi 92s ("his" and "Hers" in .45 Colt and .357 respectively), and at least three other Marlin 336s (or store brand of the same, one being a decent conversion to straight grip and another being a 2/3 mag tube with dusky wood begging for a little TLC).
I had a heap of 'left-over' AR stuff, and had observed an older magazine article with a bent flat-stock pivoting shoulder stock (imagine like a STEN) as a 'trapper" levergun...
