Inspired by some bs I found on gunpost. When I saw a used ati stock at my LGS I knew what I had to do.

Wish I took more pictures of the process, but basically I cut off the folding stock apparatus, drilled a hole in the very back portion of the stock and ran a threaded rod through which was epoxied in place, to which I affixed the core of the wooden buttstock (further epoxied in place). 1 piece of laminate on each side of the hardwood stock core glued in place then shaped, metal buttstock plate cut out of some 16 gauge mild steel which was cold blued then screwed onto the buttstock, and rubber recoil pad epoxied in place and cut to size. Voids left from chopping off the folding stock were filled with jb weld steelstick. Handguard was put in place by sanding down the foregrip area on the ati stock, then a couple layers of veneer were expoxied over that area to give the actual handguard something to stick to which was then adhered with expoxy (the bottom bit) and wood glue (the sides, once again using a hardwood core on the bottom and laminate on the sides). Then stain and topcoat yadda yadda
