I just glue the aluminum skeleton together and in the mean time taking some pictures. If you cannot see any photo here, please go to my Flickr:

Overall of the metal parts for the stock.
M14K (with the M60 gas tube) with hand-made top hand guard with side rail. Also notice that I am using the origional SOCOM scope mount that come with this M14.
Close up of the gas tube (not glued yet)
Close up of the tail end which is fixed to the receiver.
Close up of the forward block of the top hand guard, which also serve as the front pin connection...
Clamp up during the first application of glue. (Epoxy with Aluminum dust.) Start to take shape...
A joke for myself: now I understand why it is "Industry"...... : making everything always involve dust, so you are actually picking your product from dust.....
The aluminum skeleton is due tofinish after then 2nd gluing (with epoxy putty to fill in gaps) and screwing. Hope that I don't screw it up at the end. (finger crossed...)
