[ARCHIVED THREAD] - My Collapsable stock collapses when I pull the Trigger

Posted: 10/2/2005 7:08:22 PM EDT

Why the hell is it doing that? I ran through a 30 round mag today and every pull of the trigger the stock completely collapsed to the short position. How do I fox this problem or can I?

Here is an idea for ya,

You'll have to take the small roll pin out of the colp. b.s. nut and un screw it a few turns and reinsert the roll pin to keep it on.

Repeat if necesary.

Thanks I'll try that.

Edit: That worked, thanks guys.

BTW, Tweak is that roll pin necessary or can I just lock-tite that screw in the retaining nut on the stock?

roll pins are what is correct but they're not a DIY mod since the latch pin is proprietary. LocTite or staking the nut to the pin work fine.

If the nut is the solid type and does not have the cutout for the pin locktight causes real difficulty in removing the nut later. The nut has a lot of thread engagement and there is nothing to grip to remove it. Real pain in the rear if you need to adjust it again.
