    On the STR and CTR depressing the standard latch mechanism forces the manipulation of the friction lock. If the friction lock cannot be manipulated the standard latch will not disengage, thus the position of the stock cannot be changed.

    Gotcha. That makes sense.

    Soooo.....anybody willing to be the first to try this on their STR/CTR?

    I pinned my old CTR for a 'featureless' build here in CA.

    just need a 1" x 1/8" roll pin. took about 2 minutes.

    a little bit of a crude photo, but it gets the point across. Just drill an 1/8" hole, and squeeze the pin in. You're just preventing the latch to disengage.

    Tomtom,

    I can't tell from the pic but does the pin run through that little notch directly under the lever to the left of the cross-bolt? If if does you know you can just pull down on the cross-bolt and reposition the stock still right?

    Actually you're right, I forgot that on the CTR I had to run another roll pin going up through the friction lever too (you can see the **** up to the left of the friction lock- it went in crooked)

    I ended up switching to a SOPMOD, using the same idea through the latch. This CTR is now on my 15-22.

    This may be stupid but whats to stop you from drilling down from the top? Close to the front so your cheek doesn't contact the pin? Then tap in a roll pin until its flush. Am i missing something?

    Top of what? The stock itself? I'm not tracking.

    The tube isn't all that thick so all that would do is disrupt the operation of the buffer and/or spring.
