You could put one of these on and it would solve the problem and be lighter...

he shouldn't have to drill and pin the stock... mine has the release button pinned from the inside.. so it's locked but you can still change the stock or remove the "release-Button" pin by pulling out the hinge pin. and there are no holes or pins visible on the outside of the stock.singleaction said:I'm in the process of buying a Sig 556 Classic Swat from the internet.
I live in CA, and the owner of the store told me that before he ships to CA, he needs to "pin" the stock so it can't be folded, and in the process needs to drill holes on the stock to install the pin.
so does your 556 have a folding stock?Bolopwr said:I live in CA and have owned a 556 for a while now. I simply had to put a bullet button (and 10rd mag) for it to be legal. For CA i would suggest simply getting the basic model, then customizing as you see fit. I doubt i would let someone drill holes in my new rifle!
If you have a classic folder, the total length drops below 30" when folded, which is a class of AW on its own right, different from the detachable mag w/ features class.bharrisCA said:I am super confused. Why do you have to pin the folding stock? I bought mine off the internet and got a 10 rd magazine and bullet button to make it legal. Isn't folding stock "legal" on fixed magazine rifles?
Am I wrong?
Oh and just to offer the other side of it: I would almost never buy a higher end rifle in stores. In the bay area the Classic SWAT goes for 2,000+ while I picked mine up from www.slingpoint.com (the Patrol SWAT) for $1700. I've seen the Classic as low as $1600.
