HK Collapsible stocks are illegal right?

[Mass-diver]

This stock would be illegal on my PTR-91 (an HK-91/G3 clone) right?

If the gun is pre-ban then you can install one of these if you please. If it's a post-ban gun, you will have to lose another evil feature in order to keep it legal.

Thanks Adam. I bough this rifle 2 years ago from an in-state FFL. While I've some threads here on the AWB, I'm not sure what evil features I could remove from this rifle?

Here's my rifle: http://www.ptr91.com/product_pages/ptr91f.html EXCEPT mine lacks the supressor as it was an MA legal one.

I'd love to put a collaspilbe stock on it and a foreend grip

You can't put a collapsible on a PTR-91 and still have it be legal, unless
you move to a free state. It's that simple. (well, without like,
neutereing the rifle so it doesnt take a detacheable mag, but that's
pretty much atrocious.)

FWIW, a "forend grip" is not a a regulated feature, so you can
add that without much issue.

Question: what makes a collapsible stock more "dangerous" than a non-collapsible? I don't see how it relates to an "assault" weapon at all...

 

[Adam_MA]

There are 6 items that were included in the draft of the Assault Weapons Ban that determined weather or not the gun was considered an Assault Weapon.

1.a detachable magazine (of any capacity) and having more than one of the following features.
2. a folding or telescoping stock
3. a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon
4. a bayonet mount
5. a flash suppressor or a threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor
6. a grenade launcher

Because MA still has a copy of the 1994 AWB in place, the things listed above are not allowed on rifles made after the start of the Federal AWB.

Weather or not they make sense is beside the point, because the AWB was drafted by gun grabbing socialist, who as we all know couldn't tell their head from their ass if one didn't stink!

Nothing. The AWB was based on a bunch of dubious concepts and bullshit
about the ability to "fire from the hip" and all kinds of other anti crap. It's
no different from most other gun laws, in that most of them don't make
any sense at all, or seem to have any real point.

That is what I thought, sounds like they watched too many movies before writing it

I see three ways to cope with the collapsible stock problem:

1) If one wants a smaller rifle shorten a fixed stock so that the whole rifle measures 26 1/2 inches ( 1/2 inch longer than needed to be legal)

2) If one wants the "look" of a collapsible stock, purchase said stock & find the length you like it best at then Pin/Weld it to that size permanently.

3) spend the $$ on a pre-ban

Unfortunately as long as our state is run by the commie pigs that the population at large elects, we can not have our cake and eat it too.

Well, if you're ok shooting without the pistol grip, then it might be doable. Seems like it might be a little uncomfortable, though.

In general, it will be impossible to legally add a folding/collapsible stock because they necesitate pistol grips, and because most to all of said rifles already have detachable mags.
