There's alot more wood in the butt area itself, and the rest of it is a tad thicker as well. The A1 stock adds quite a bit of weight to the gun. I wouldn't want to have to weld the thing on. You could loose the flash-hider easy enough with a brake, though I dunno about the threads. Yes, the pistol grip is an evil feature, and you only get one evil feature on the M14 type post-ban rifle. I don't think that the price compares favorably to what you get, but gun stuff isn't all about practicality. It's not a terrible design for what it's supposed to do. I found using one to be a bit odd, but it's not anythying you can't get used to. When they were avialable, not too many people wanted them on their guns. They are a rarity nowdays, so that's why the higher price. The M2 bipod will scratch up the stock when folded by the way. It's meant to be used with the M2 Bipod, of which you can pay hundreds for a USGI or a couple bucks for a Chinese knock-off. That attatches to the fwd pistol grip as well and when you pull on the FPG, the sling pulls down on the front end of the gun. You should get the correct sling to go along with it. Both terms are technically correct, the M14E2 became the M14A1 upon adoption (the "A") of the experimental (the "E") variation. They will be called either M14A1 or M14E2 stocks. Prices run from a low of $200 for dings and cracks to near $400 for a new condition one. You'll also find them kicking around various other sources, but they are rare nowdays.
