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

Oh man, that hurt just to watch.
hmmm.... note to self. don't do that with my ctr.
I did something similar with my M240G once except I broke it clean off.
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.
yah, the motor drill is not the greatest. Yet it is still used often. what worries me about it, is a rare slam fire 6" from my face
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.
no doubt! Have you ever mortared and unfired round that was stuck in the chamber. I have, and it is disconcerting to say the least.......especially whne you examine the extracted bullet/case and you see a light dent in the primer from the mortaring exercise!
Light primer indent from the firing pin is from the bolt going into battery with a floating firing pin. The original Armalite AR15 & Colt Model 601's had problems with slam fires because the firing pin head had much more mass to it...enough so that it acted like an inertia-based firing system, especially in hot weather or with a warmed-up gun. They changed the firing pin head to a smaller size, and slam fires went away. Mortaring does not produce a firing pin indent on the primer.
