The magpul stocks are real nice, I like the open look of the stocks, but I simply don't want to spend anymore money on guns or mods at this time. So a little trimout was in order. The triangular section to be removed is drilled at each corner with a Unibit, remember the corner radius of the opening is determined by the size hole you drill at each corner. Once the three holes are drilled, score the area to be removed with a razor knife from hole to hole. Score each line about 1/2 way thru the plastic. Then take the pliers and break the piece out. It's pretty tough, be very patient and it will come out fairly clean. Then take a razor knife with a NEW blade and trim the hole cleanly. It don't look too bad.... :grin:

Hi guys. Many complaints have been directed towards adjustable stocks being ''loose'' and ''rattly''. This is true of the Colt/Umarex as well as many other brands. I have come up with a fix that is cheap, easily done and has excellent results. Tools needed are a small pair of pliers (needle nose or duckbill), scissors, adjustable razor knife, unibit or 5/16'' drill bit, and a set of gun files ( flat and rattail). Materials needed are a roll of Oatley plastic hanger strap, 3/4'' X 10', about $3.00 at Lowes in the plumbing dept. This is grey plastic, flexible with a smooth non-stick surface that can be easily cut with scissors and final sanded with sandpaper. Start out by removing the stock, pull it all the way back, still holding the adjusting lever down use a screwdriver to pry the lever a little further down while pulling the stock off the tube. Measure the width of the lock ridge on the tube and cut the grey strapping ever so slightly narrower so it fits snugly inside the stock lock slot. Next cut the length so the strip is the same length as the stock inside. Next press the strip of strapping in place so the lock pin ''marks'' the proper location of the hole for the lock pin to function. Remove the strapping and drill/cut/file the hole. Make it slightly oversize so the pin won't jam when operating the lever. Now assemble to check for clearance. If too tight lay out a piece of #180 grit sandpaper on a flat surface and lightly sand the grey strip to the best thickness to permit smooth operation. A drop of gun oil will smooth it up....The last 1/2'' or so of the grey strip can be trimmed off so it doesn't show in side the stock when it is collapsed fully. !0 to 20 minutes tops for this mod...

Nice!

REALLY NICE!!!!

keep us posted on the UTG, I've been thinking of one for my ''other brand'' .22.... :grin:Can you get on with a horse logo??

how about a Carolina socket set??

NOW NOW..... :grin:

Gee- Christmas Eve afternoon, six guys on the forum! A real crowd! Happy holidays fellas....

Me and the Bride and my son will have a great breakfast followed by a few goodies to unwrap. I plan on shooting quite a bit also.... :grin:

MERRY CHRISTMAS fellows!!!!Happy New Year!!!!

Anyone here with the Colt experienced any out of battery firings during rapid fire? I haven't read of a single one anywhere. The S&W 15-22 evidently must be having a real problem with this, according to the number of posts generated on S&W forum.com. Looks like there's one thing the Colt can't be bashed on.....LOL WEAR THOSE SHOOTING GLASSES!!!

my Leaper T 169 cheapie.... :grin:

S&W Forum.com has numerous posts about the 15-22 firing out of battery. This could really do some eye and/or hand damage. Make certain to wear safety glasses with this firearm....if interested look in the long gun section.

not BLOWS!!!! :dance:

subliminal advertising, babe.... :grin:

no it's a standard carbine shortened to 16'' with a AR suppressor. Yes an ATI Draganov stock.

watch out Elvis!! :dance:

Been driving home, brides been driving last 1 1/2 hours, I have a verizon broadband card and a 110V converter, so I'm surfing. What a way to travel....LOL

All aluminum I suppose?

smurf the 10/22 makes you want to leave it hung on the porch railing so you can shoot it constantly...LOL

My 10/22 carbine shoots better than I can see.... ::)

In the early 80's the actual Thompson in .22 was available, I looked at a new one in a gun shop in Hampton, Va with a retail of $375.00. WAY out of my price range with 2 small kids at home.....I wouldn't mind having one of these! :grin:

the horizontal buffer looks much more effective than the vertical.... :grin:

what is that a receiver cover that looks like an M14 ? Killer....LOL

We love Obama, oh yes we do... Barach Obama and Michelle too...He is our President for me and you...We love Obama and Michelle too....LOL not bad, huh?
