so i bought a Colt M4 "jersey legal". the stock is pinned fully extended. i want to unpin and repin the stock at a more comfortable length (obviously overall length over 26")

i will be doing this in PA at a range most likely

 

my question is has anyone done this with a Colt factory pinned stock? and was it just pinned or glued as well?

 

 

thanks

Robby

Hey Robby, Mike at RTSP in Randolph can do this for you. No need to go all the way to PA. He pinned my stock when I bought my M4 there.

They are not glued.

The buffer tube isn't a standard carbine buffer tube. It is longer.

Once you unpin the stock and shorten it, the buffer tube will stick out the end of the stock.

 

My advice is to replace the buffer tube and pin the stock to the new tube.

I'm like 20 min from PA and thats where i regularly shoot so its not an issue. I'm not looking to bring it all the way in. just about an inch or 2...3 at the very most. how much play would i have with the buffer tube thats on there?

 

 

thanks for the quick help here

Maybe 1/4".

 

Trust me, if you want to shorten the stock, you'll need to change the buffer tube.

I have 4 of these.
