That's about how I figured it would work, Ron. Just wondered if any examples of a stock attached in this manner had been documented with pics or description...perhaps an aftermarket manufactured item offered as an accessory. Just as likely these adaptations were home made, as I've seen "carbines" listed online that were not original, Martz, or (!)Golubtsov.
