If I had to take a guess, I'd say since it is non-permanent and easily removed, they would say it's not allowed.

While I agree that general consensus would agree with you, I'm not sure where people get this "permanent" notion from?
Unlike permanently attached muzzle devices (often used to bring legal length to 16"), I don't see any legal guidance for any legal means of "permanent" for a stock.
All I can find on it is this:
(per NJ DOJ site) "semi-automatic rifle that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least 2 of the following:
1) a folding or telescoping stock;
2) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon;
3) a bayonet mount;
4) a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor; and
5) a grenade launcher; "
Are there any links to any info regarding whether the non collapsible stock has to be "permanent" or not? I'm looking at it from the standpoint, "so long as it does not "collapse" , AT THE MOMENT (whether temporarily or permanently), it should be GTG per NJ DOJ. But.. of course no one wants to be the one to test the legal standings (and I'm sure that's why people go way overboard with it).
Again, I'm just not sure.
Can anyone please provide any links to any legal definitions or methods for this?
