In order to take delivery of an AR15 with a pinned collapsible stock, does the stock need to be pinned in the fully extended position?

No, as long as the OAL > 26"

No, as long as the OAL > 26"

 

Would you be able to link me to an official (state and federal) reference? It would be greatly appreciated.

there is no official reference for the state. 26" is a federal requirement. you pretty much need a minimum of a 16" barrel. even in the fully collapsed position, the gun is 26" with a 16" barrel so it doesnt matter where you pin it.

Federal says 26". State says it can't be adjustable.

State statute 2C:39-1

o."Sawed-off shotgun" means any shotgun having a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length measured from the breech to the muzzle, or a rifle having a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length measured from the breech to the muzzle, or any firearm made from a rifle or a shotgun, whether by alteration, or otherwise, if such firearm as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches.

 

Sawed off shotguns are prohibited weapons and since rifles with barrels <16" or OAL <26" are defined as "sawed-off shotguns" they are prohibited. The length restrictions just follow the federal statutes for non-NFA firearms.

 

My original answer stands.

 

Adios,
