Thread: "Collapsible" stocks

  1. #1

    Wink "Collapsible" stocks

    I always objected to people using "collapsible" when referring to telescoping stocks.

    However, it's clear from this video that I was wrong. They really can collapse.

    haha i saw this a while back. wonder what magpul had to say.
    "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
    John Stuart Miller

    probably said " don't mortar your rifle with the stock extended!"

    I love that video. I just saw it last night...quality...

    When I look at all the receiver end plates, Mr. Murphy whispers in my ear...."I will find a way to make that hurt you in ways you can only imagine..." I believe him, and have never used one on any of my blasters, especially since I always mount my sling at the rear of the stock, with the attachment point opposite my right hand preference, so I don't get choked out if I have to shoot left-handed.

    Also, when you mortar the AR to clear Wolf ammo from the chamber after it has seized, collapse the stock (without any digits between that sling plate and the stock body ss ss ss ss ss ss), and impact the butt where the extension tube is, not the toe of the stock. You will most likely break the stock if you impact the toe, unless it's an original aluminum commando stock from the XM177 and 653 series, and then you will damage the aluminum receiver extension recesses for the stock plunger assembly.

    You clear the magazine first. Case is fired already, hence the seized case in the chamber from expansion...no slam-fire possible if the mag is removed, as it should be when clearing any malfunction other than a tap rack bang.

    Last weekend I had a case separate in my sbr and the next round got jammed in the chamber. Out of habit I went to mortar the rifle to clear the chamber but then this video flashed in my head. Collapsed the stock and cleared the roundno problem. Stan did a service to my fingers. Thanks!

    Cool. When I posted that, it never occurred to me it might actually benefit somebody.
