Thread: A class Thumbhole stocks , what do you prefer

I reckon for the purpose the spear mags stock is fine, but much better buying at the group buy price. Take into consideration that it is a first gen product, and the dies for moulding these cost a fortune, so they have to recoup those costs. I think they did a much better job with the stocks than they did with the mags. Hopefully Magpul do a "ban compliant" stock.

The definition on Non Pistol Grip as illustrated is almost beyond comprehension.

As I see it, all three illustrations show a pistol grip, allowing you to hold the rifle with one hand and operate it like a pistol.

The two "compliant" illustrations show a pistol grip integrated into the butt stock.

What is the intent of the law other than some politicians selling their souls to some minority interest group for some more votes.

Well mine arrived yesterday, so bit the bullet and put it on...
As someone else said, pistol grip is a bit thin but it looks good, but not as good as the original Magpul...
I did have a GC one, the first one was broken before i touched it, the second was also cracked, the third cracked, and finally the fourth one was not cracked and I sold it!... (...it was free with the rifle).
It had a nice look and feel, but the thumbhole joint to the grip is a bit suspect... probably ok once it is all fitted, but very fragile before hand...

...by by pistol grip ...hope this law gets overturned when common sense prevails...

I don't want to alarm you, but that bayonet lug looks quite functional, so you may be illegally in possession of an MSSA.

Is that a bayonet lug? Are you some kind of terrorist? Why can't you just tape a knife to your gun and stab someone legally like the rest of us?

I'm going to sound really dumb now, but shoudl that not be there!
I new about the magazine capacity, flash hiders, pistol grips, but this... I had better go read my arms code again.

If this is the case do i need to replace this gas block?? The rifle was only bought last November...

Yes, a bayonet lug makes your rifle an MSSA.
You could just mill it off or replace the gas block.

Dremel would be a good option.

What brand is the gun and where'd you buy it?

oky doky, man that sucks...

Lug gone!
..any good AR armourers in Auckland that could maybe help...

...yip, its in the old arms code, must be my eyes..., so this tells me i was actually sold a MSSA with and A-cat license, O for awesome!

Where'd you buy it from? Probably worth telling them

New Zealand's favorite :p , GC Auckland

...its a Bushmaster.

The lug is not functional, but best to nip a bit more off, as you'll get different opinions form different AOs.
Mine was the same. Passed by Hamilton, bit sussed according to Auckland.

Hacksaw and file, problem resolved.
