You can't put a telescoping stock on a post-ban receiver unless you delete one of the other 'evil features' such as the removable magazine or pistol grip.  You can put one of the fake telescoping stocks on your post ban, but it is permanently pinned in the extended position.  IMHO, you're better off with a regular fixed stock.

Removable Magazine is not an "evil feature". It is a defining feature.

This means that if you were to remove the Pistol Grip, you could have the tele-stock, but no other "evil features". But if the magazine is non-removable, then you can have all the "evil features" you wish.

Rifle:

    Defining Features -- 18 USC 44 Sec. 921(a)(30)(B):

      1. semiautomatic rifle; and
      2. ability to accept a detachable magazine

    Evil Features -- 18 USC 44 Sec. 921(a)(30)(B)(i) - 921(a)(30)(B)(v)

      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.




Pistol:


    Defining Features -- 18 USC 44 Sec. 921(a)(30)(C):

      1. semiautomatic pistol; and
      2. ability to accept a detachable magazine

    Evil Features -- 18 USC 44 Sec. 921(a)(30)(C)(i) - 921(a)(30)(C)(v):

      1. an ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip;
      2. a threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer;
      3. a shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned;
      4. a manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded; and
      5. a semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm.

    Evil Features -- 18 USC 44 Sec. 921(a)(30)(D)(i) - 921(a)(30)(D)(iv):

      1. a folding or telescoping stock;
      2. a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon;
      3. a fixed magazine capacity in excess of 5 rounds; and
      4. an ability to accept a detachable magazine.

In plain English, you can have any evil features you wish as long as you omit 1 defining feature...

On a rifle that means that if you make the magazine non-detachable or make it no longer semi-auto...you can have all the evil features you wish.

You can have the Collapsing Stock and detachable magazine as long as you omit the Pistol Grip...
