I finally get to pick up my new AR this wednesday, S&W MPFT15, yep its the model for those of us living in communist states, it has what looks like an adjustable stock but I know it is pinned somehow. Does anyone know how they are pinned from the factory and if S&W uses a mil-spec buffer tube. My plan is to install a magpul acs stock and "have it pinned "

All this talk about pinned stocks explains why so many of you new yorkers move to FL.. ; )

Good luck

I'm not too sure about the stock, but I know we would all enjoy a couple of pictures.

Yes it is mil-spec; not sure how it's pinned.

Same problem here but I just need to shorten it a bit.
Umm ... "have it pinned'? How please?

I bought a M&P-15 ORC a few months ago, and it had a mil-spec tube that instead of having the position holes in it, had one threaded hole.  The locking lever had a screw in it that threaded into the hole.  I had to buy a new mil-spec buffer with the position holes and now have a new MOE "fixed" stock.

Don't try this unless you can get it confirmed...

I believe you could do the following:

Move the stock to where you want it, Drill a hole the size of a small roll pin in the stock and slightly into the buffer tube. (DO NOT DRILL into the section of the tube where the buffer slides back and forth. - Drill where the stock is normally pinned, on the left side of the stock close to the bottom)

Tap the roll pin into the hole until flush.

I don't believe you would drill all the way though. That would be too easy for wackos to tap the pin out and move the stock wherever they want
