Bushmaster 'fixed' stock
My brother has a Bushmaster M4 knockoff, I am not sure exactly which model but it has the post ban 'fixed' stock. He asked me, and I ask you, is there a non damaging way to remove the 'pins' so the stock is collapsable? I carried a car15 in service (pre M4) and actually found the stock to be a little short even at full length, but during jumps I would collapse it so I can imagine why someone would want it that way. Has anyone ever tried such an operation? If so, was it easy? Thanks for the help. Sean

not sure, but even if there was, I dont think anyone here is gonna tell you how to do something that is illegal.
proud member of RRG0 -
if your weapon is a pre-ban gun you should have a collapasable stock
but if it is not pre-ban this is one of the items that are regulated
you are allow no more than a certian number
here is a copy of some more info from another site
these are batf rules
_____________________________________________________________________
A LOWER RECEIVER MUST HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED INTO A COMPLETE RIFLE PRIOR TO THE SEPTEMBER 1994 BAN AND THE MANUFACTURER MUST BE ABLE TO DOCUMENT THAT ASSEMBLY TO THE BATF IN ORDER TO QUALIFY AS A PRE-BAN LOWER RECEIVER!)
iii. Ban Criteria Features
Post-Ban AR-15 rifles, by law, cannot have more than 2 of the following features:
1) detachable magazine
2) pistol grip
3) threaded barrel/flash hider
4) collapsible stock
5) bayonet lug
6) grenade launcher
iv. What Features to Keep
Ninety-nine percent of Post-Ban-AR-15 rifle owners keep the detachable magazine and pistol grip features. And for good reason. Read on.
In many ways the [Crime Bill] Ban (though an infringement on our 2nd Amendment Rights), by limiting the accessories on the AR-15, has actually improved the performance of the rifle. It is more accurate with a crowned barrel vs. a threaded barrel for flash hider. It is more comfortable for most shooters with the regular stock vs. the shorter and smaller collapsible stock. It weighs much less without a bayonet and grenade launcher. (Note: As well-built and engineered as it is, the AR-15 with bayonet does not make a great platform for a spear-application of said spear would probably ruin the alignment of your front sight and barrel-and the M203 grenade launcher are costly and are simply difficult-to-find civilian "flare launchers").
