    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.

    That's a decent idea, but I was asking about the STR stock. The CTR is easy as you can put the pin on the ridge just below the cheek weld. You can't do that on the STR, and you can't do what you suggested in the green circle on the STR either.

    I'm not going to put anything through the top of the tube, because obviously that would screw with the buffer spring. I'm thinking about just going horizontal through the friction lever, as long as there is enough plastic between the 2 sides of the lever to hold the pin securely.

    Correct, and in all honesty you could probably just use a bolt. doesn't say it has to be a pin afterall.

    Could you drill a hole on the red mark (all the way through) and then use a bolt and small loc-tited nut so it cant pull through? This would be "permanent" in the sense that you wouldnt be able to adjust it with your bare hands. Would this fulfill needed requirements?

    I haven't seen anything that specifies "how" it needs to be converted to a permanent stock. Even if it requires time and a tool or multiple tools, I'd like to be able to change the stock position without completely destroying the stock in the process. I don't foresee an real reason to make any adjustments unless the addition of a magnifier in the future changes how far/close my face would need to be in relation to the rail.

    Can anyone comment on what is underneath the friction lock lever? Is it a solid plastic frame or does it look like the ribbed/cutout portion of the frame?

    Wouldn't take any more tools than whats needed to drive out a roll pin so rock on.

    what length?

    Silly Idea If your running stock fully extended? take off the rear butt plate 2 allen screws, Go to your local hardware store find some pvc pipe cut to length wrap in duct tape for a secure fit reinstall butt plate.

    Stock will not collapse no modification of stock needed.

    Of course will only work at full extension,

    Oh Have plan B in works if not

    Plan is to be about 2 adjustments from fully collapsed.

    Plan B with pics

    Disclaimer. I don't know the exact wording so this Idea may or may not work.
    If I understand correctly the adjustment lever must be disabled or rendered unfunctional?

    My solution
    #1 remove stock using supplied mapul tool
    #2 install blocking strips leaving desired hole accessable.
    I used derlin strips but anything hardwoods will work, I used double stick tape to hold it to the buffer tube.
    #3reinstall stock using magpull supplied tool,
    Stock will only lock into available hole & not be adjustable.Friction lock still works
    Stock will still be removable and strips can be removed if moving to a local without silly rules.
    filler strips must flush out with buffer tube to render lever unoperable.

    That's crafty and doesn't damage anything. I just wonder if my state would consider that compliant. Even though the stock can't lock into any other position, it can still slide up/down the buffer tube. Don't know if that would nullify it as being a fixed stock.

    What a pain in the ass
