I don't know of any ATF opinion regarding this, and as per the "Burden Of Proof" discussion, I would not ask their opinion. The general accepted belief is that making a Collapsing stock so that it no longer collapses makes it a fixed stock and therefore legal.
There is no definition in 18 USC 44 Sec. 921 defining what constitutes a Collapsing Stock. The reason I say don't ask the ATF is because if the can grasp the fartherest, most ridiculous strand, they will declare it illegal and many, many guns will become illegal and their owners Felons. |

The BATF hasn't approved any plastic "fixed collapsable stock" that uses a carbine length receiver extension. And yes, they have rejected a few as submitted by manufacturers, per an ArmaLite post some two or so years old.

so officially it ISN'T legal and the owners who already have done are only PRAYING that it *may* be legal...

If it is already affixed then I wouldn't worry about it. You are in compliance and doubt the ATF is going to prosecute you for affixing your own rifle. If you were trying to manufacture and sell this product they might give you a problem. This is just an opinion though, do what you want with it.

the reason I ask is bec the A2 stock is too LONG. and RRA is taken forever on their LE entry stock (been close to year for some here who have ordered). I need a solution... should I?

It looks like you've read the thread where this was discussed at length:
[url]www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?id=56665[/url] Basically, you'd need the buffer tube extended out to the end position where you want the stock to end, you'd need to permanently fill in any and all adjustment holes on the tube, and you'd need to blind-pin the stock onto the tube with 4-5 pins. All of which would be an awful lot of work. I'd look for a used A1 stock. -Troy |

That is drilling a hole though the stock into the buffer tube, withOUT the hole going all the way through. Then, a pin is inserted into this "blind hole", and can't be easily removed, because you can't just drive it back out from the other side.
