Adjustable stock question
- Thread starter BTSDOG
- Start date
What exactly is a "pre Healey" stock? You do know that Healey's edict has no legislative or legal holding and it just a scare tactic to keep FFLs from selling killy scary rifles right?

It looks like that would be acceptable but even on sale $29.70 it seems to be a lot more expensive than drilling a hole and sticking in a roll pin. I can punch my roll pin out, adjust the stock and put it back in the same 30 seconds. You do need a punch and small hammer.

My memory is a little rusty on the buttstock AWB law but last I looked it simply said it could not be adjustable? I want to say it would satisfy the law....... It prevents the buttstock from adjusting and it requires tools to take the buttstock off the buffer tube to remove the stock lok.

Collapsible stock vs Adjustable stock vs Folding stock in MA
Live in MA, as it says. I know a folding stocks, obviously, folds and is illegal in MA. I understand that it is certainly possible that a 'Collapsible' stock is also illegal. But what about an adjustable stock? There is a stock I want to buy (Specifically, the Tapco T6 Intrafuse) and it is...

I thought that it said they couldn't be "collapse-able" not adjustable. That would mean even a fixed stock with an adjustable cheek rest would be unlawful.

I haven't looked at the verbiage in a while like I mentioned. Here's the 2004 AWB verbiage summarized on NES.

Hmmm, if the outside of the tube was threaded
and the inside of the butt was threaded,
and there was a locknut,
it wouldn't be "telescoping", would it?
After all, we don't say that a water faucet is "telescoping".

Depending on what stock you are running or want to run, simply pull the spring out of the lever, set where you want, and drop in a dowel or some other stop. No silly $30 parts or gimmicks. Essentially free. Fully restorable. Done.
