A few years back I ran into an M231 Telescoping butt stock. I like the look and bought it and put it a side until my next build, which was tonight. I had all the parts got the entire gun together and went to find my stock. It was right where I put it for safe keeping, however when I got the thing screwed in place looked fine but I could not collapse the thing because the rods on the tube hit the receiver. Now i could get out the round file and file a couple of grooves in the receiver or try to shave a little more off the wire stock they already have a slight chamfer on them. Has any one else run into this problem and what did you do?
Thanks RA |

Is it a true M231 stock or a DPMS repro?
If you are using it with a standard recoil system it is a repro. I have one of those. The dimensions are slightly off. The easiest fix and one that doesn't require modification of your lower is, as you suggested, shaving a little more off the beveled portion of the stock. Doesn't take much, I did it with a dremel years ago. I'm sure the guys in the RETRO forum might have some more input. |
