folding stock for AR15?

[ar15hacker]

where can I get one? it seems i seen one before but i cant find one anywhere

[Thorsen]

You can't have a folding stock on an AR15. The buffer and spring are in the stock and are required for operation.

[J_Rock]

the LR-300 is a folding stock version of the AR15. They just moved the buffer system under the handguards

[leelaw]

Unless you have an AR with the recoil system moved to underneath the handguards, you can't get a real folding stock for it.

its not cheap, but this is one option.

Are those non mil spec?

[tiger222]

colt mfg is coming out with a folder for the their PDW AR15. not much of an advantage though....

[Mssr. Eleganté]

Are those non mil spec?

Yes they are. The military does not use folding stocks on their AR's, so all folding stocks are non-milspec.

The stocks on that page are only for .22LR AR's or ZM Weapons style AR's.

Whether the military uses something doesn't mean it isn't mil-spec.

Military specifications can be met by items that never see field use. For example, many safety glasses and goggles meet mil-spec, but don't have military contracts. The manufacturers know it's worth their effort to improve their product reputation.

[USN CHIEF]

Wow, I did not know that they had this kind of stocks for AR's.. Cool

does that magpul stock come woth the tube that screws into the receiver? or do i need one of those to?

[ar15hacker]

The main caveat is that a semiautomatic centerfire rifle has to be no less than 30" long with the stock folded. Doesn't matter if the magazine is fixed or not.

Per 12276.1
http://ag.ca.gov/firearms/dwcl/12275.php

this isnt for a centerfire rifle.

[ar15hacker]

You'll still need to keep it above 26" with a 16" barrel to satisfy Federal minimum length.

i know the laws but i need my question answered so i know i bit about this stuff before i buy

ZM Weapons makes a side folding AR style rifle.

A couple of things for your question that needs to be answered. Building an AR-15 in Cailifornia is a Felony. You should read up on the laws before beginning a quest to build your super rifle.

Here is some technical info for you. The AR style platform of rifles uses a recoil gas system which makes the use of a folding stock impossible.

If you want a folding stock rifle buy a 22lr like the ruger or marlin and get one of the ace stocks. You could also check out the Walther G22. That is a nice bullpup rifle.

Even with a BB, that rifle won't ever be legal in CA. Needs a tax stamp. ZM seems just like any of the gas piston uppers. I think they are made by YHM.

[ar15hacker]
