I realize installing a functional collapsable stock on a post ban receiver is illegal. But what about possession. If I never shoot the post ban carbine with the functionally collapsable stock, would I be breaking any laws? I would only "fondle" the carbine with the collapsable stock occasionally and perhaps take some photos. Is the AFT going to be knocking on my door in the middle of the night to inspect this carbine? TIA, |

I don't think there's ever been an arrest but the argument would be one of intent. Why own a collapsable stock unless one was going to use it? Personally I wouldn't worry about it too much but wouldn't buy one just to fondle - I have better things to fondle [:D]. The ATF rarely get out in the middle of the night - they pretty much nab you in the middle of the day. |

I've wanted to have one just to "have one", but figured I'd be to tempted to put the damn thing on just to see how cool it'd look. So I figured best thing to do is just not buy one! Kinda sucks too. The only way my petite wife can even shoot a 16" AR is with a bipod because the stock is to long and she has a hard time getting her hands on the hand gaurds. It's either that or she has to hold the mag, which I'm not to fond of. So it's the bi-pod on a bench for her. |
