I've seen a few aftermarket solutions giving the long factory 14.5" LOP FNC stock some nice adjustability (e.g. AR/buffer tube adapter, ACR adapter, etc). I'd love to try an ACR stock, but the ACR-to-FNC adapters seem to have been one-time runs and not obtainable.
The factory stock looks to be easily shortened, the tubular frame seems to just slot into the base and held in place with a long rivet. I imagine to shorten one, you'd just need to drill out the rivet, slide out the stock, chop off the desired length of the tubes, re-insert, drill the new holes and make/install a new rivet. Has anyone seen this done before, or can confirm this would work as expected? Hopefully there are no surprise welds that would need to be un-done.
Attaching 4 photos below, hopefully they display properly.
