SAGE Industries M-14
Hey, anyone else had the chance to shoot one of the Sage M-14s?
Very nice design, seems to take a lot of the felt recoil out as well. From the soft mount on the tripod, it is like shooting an M-16.
Lots of 1913 rail attachment points as well.
Have more info and a POC, if anyone is interested.

Very nice looking. Are they building these from the ground up or reconfiguring pre-existing rifles?

I believe that you can buy rifles, or stock kits.
That would let you get GI M-14s and convert them yourself, rather than trying to get legal M-14s converted by them and transferred.

Yes, they do, but the M-14 stocks and systems are not on it.

Didnt SAGE win a some sort of government contract over Troy Industries (Rock SOPMOD variant) regarding this type of modification to the M14 rifles.

I hope they did beat out Troy, since Troy sent out their thugs to repossess a sling they sold QS, then realized it was their last one.

TR, I'll see your compensated stock and raise you a custom stock from Pueblo that makes a 12ga. recoil feel like a .22. It also magically turned a over-under Kohler into a $12k gun. Nope, not mine, but I did get to bust clays with it for an hour or so.

One of our regular customers bought the sage stock for his SOCOM 
and he brought it in for us to look at. It was neat looking.......until we put it on the scale and the damn thing with all of the stuff on it and without ammo weighed 15-16 Lbs!!!
That's a lot of 5.56 ammo!!
It looked cool though
