That's the one I'm going to buy also. It's 2 cents cheaper there than Midway and I like CTD better.

OH, I like the sounds of this better than the CTD one.
My question is I'm planning on useing a new style upper with the piston, I saw on a show that you need a different buffer for a piston gun compaired to the standard AR.
Were they just plowing gas ( pun
) or is it true that you need a different buffer for a piston gun???Thanks

There is nothing in the law that really determines the standard of pinning/inhibiting for a stock. There MAY be a BATFE tech branch letter out there that defines a technical standard for what is appropriate, but if it exists, I've never seen it. If it exists it is probably as obscure as the regimen they used to use for determining what was or was not a flash hider.
Back when the feds handled this, most of the manufacturers at the time were what I would call "obsessively and excessively conservative" . For example, if you had a fake collapsible stock, there was no way in hell you were ever going to convert it to a real one without a lot of work. Those things were (and are) pieces of garbage never intended to ever collapse. Ironically enough a lot of rifle manufacturers are now using what I would call "marginally locked" stocks and shipping them to MA/NY/CT. Some of these stocks are easily restored (with tools) to being a real collapsible. I think the logic is it is cheaper to do that than it is to have a "custom cripple part" like they used to.
That said, as far as I know there is no law mandating blind pinning. Even with just a roll pin through it the argument could be made that the effort required to remove and install the roll pin is no different than what would be required to change the whole stock out.

There's one in post #8.
I got a MOE last week and pinned it. I looked at fixed stocks but they did not work out well (too long). I have had 4 shoulder surgeries in 3 years, my (weak) hand, (left) is not capable of extending out to support the M4 so I got an adjustable stock, adjusted to where I can shoot it and pinned it in that spot. It worked out great and only took 5 mins and 35 cents for a pin. I can only shoot from the right shoulder if the weapon is as close to my right shoulder as possible. I am hoping things change in 6 months so I can shoot normally again. But this will work until then.

thing i never understood about collapsible stocks is.. where do you put the cleaning kit....
and what happens if you have to butt-stroke someone??
now, my A2 stock is apparently causing issues with my 16" spike's upper...
and even when i was 18 the A2 stock was a bit too long for me.... (i was more flexible back then...)
an A1 is probably about the right length (an inch or so shorter than the A2 would be perfect for me..)
so now i find myself looking at collapsible stocks, carbine buffers and hoping i don't ever have to butt stroke someone again

I have a LNIB ACE skeleton stock that I'll sell you for half price. It's missing the foam sleeve that goes over the buffer tube but you can get a replacement from Brownells or MidWayUSA for about $4. PM me if interested.

Yup, I keep an Otis cleaning kit in it.
I got the stock for $20 and then had to buy a new buffer, spring and buffer tube and then bought a new butt plate. I wet sanded the stock. Now it all looks brandy new.

Sorry to bump this thread but how can I pin a stock if I can't order the Magpul stock online? Most sites will not ship to MA but I want an adjustable stock to pin it closer to me. Any info would be great.
Depending on the stock you just drill and tap for a bolt that goes through the stock into the small rail on gas tube.....check out a pinned stock you will see how they are done.

I love my Rock River Arms Operator A2. A bit more expensive than an ACE, but a great stock with a tactical look and QD mounts. They will ship to MA.

Thanks but that is a little much for just a stock that I am going to pin. The Magpul MOE is perfect for what I am looking for.

Stateline @ Mason NH. They have AR armory onsite. Why NH border? There are many good store in MA.
PAW in Frankin MA. Good guys
FS in Woburn has Magpul goodies in stock too.
Collector in Stoneham.
If you believe this then I have a bridge to sell you. Most vendors don't have any problems shipping most things to MA. It's only some of the big name crap distributors that limit or block shipping to MA.

Probably because most shops in MA are not going to have an unpinned collapsible that he can modify to his own needs.

I called 7 stores, two in MA, State Line, and Rileys. None have the MOE Magpul stock. I hate MA so much, all I want is my cheek closer to my AR!!! What do you mean a bridge to sell me drgrant?

Yes. I know I need the buffer tube and spring. I can't stand the POS stock that's on it.

It's not a collapsible. And it comes withe the rifle size buffer and spring.
ETA: Sorry, I didn't see your update. THe RRA is about 10.5" from the end of the butt to where it meets the lower.

Would a Dark Earth stock look stupid if the rest of the gun is black? Should I get the grip and stock in Dark Earth? So many options.![[thinking]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/010.gif "Thinking [thinking]")
