Bushmaster is offering a fixed length telestock to give you that "military look". Can any telestock be permanently fixed in an extended position and be considered legal for a post-ban lower? It doesn't seem that the ATF would care as long as the stock did not collapse. After all the Rifle only has to be longer than 26" overall. Some smaller shooters could really benifit from this kind of custom fit. |

According to BATF: no. The Bushmaster/Rock River design isn't just a standard collapsable stock that's been pinned open; it has a full-length receiver extension that doesn't collapse. In addition, the stock has been blind-pinned in place by 5 pins. Now, some people HAVE uses the multiple-blind-pin method, usually along with JB Weld or some similar "glue", to fix in place a collapsable stock. All I can tell you is that BATF has rejected every one of these that had been submitted, though theoretically, they'll review your design. Of course, getting busted for such a stock would be pretty rare in today's environment, but with Project Exile rolling out nationwide, who knows about tomorrow? -Troy |
