Yes.  Stubbies aren't collapsable, and the rifle is longer than the 30" (?) minimum.

26" is the minimum required length for a rifle under federal law (and it must have at least a 16" barrel), otherwise it is regulated by the NFA.

Some states, such as the PRK, are more restrictive.

Yep, even though it makes the rifle just as short as a fully collapsed tele-stock.   In this case, the ability to make the rifle [b]longer[/b] would make it an illegal assault weapon!  I guess that a longer gun is scarier and should thus be banned...er...help me out, guys...?

Not only that, but my understanding is that a stubby stock with an "adjustable butt plate" that extends out to A2 length is also post-ban legal! Haven't seen an ATF interpretation on this, but have heard it's allowed b/c the buttplate requires the use of tools (hex wrench) to adjust in and out. So that being said, I wonder if a more conventional-looking CAR-style stock that required the use of tools to adjust, would likewise be legal?
