I thoughts are that. if fired with the stock folded, all of the bolt recoil we be absorbed by the charging handle. Whether or not the charging handle and BCG will remain intact is not something I want to test. To quote an aviation phrase: "There are old pilots and bold pilots but not many old bold pilots." If the charging handle and BCG is able to survive the recoil, it would seem that you could slap it back into place with the palm of your hand.OldCannon wrote:My only concern is that a discharge like that should NOT render the weapon inoperable. If it doesn't, then I think it's a great ideaThe Annoyed Man wrote:Well their website says, "...not intended to be fired when folded." The buffer spring and plug are captured by the folded stock. I don't see anything in the kit that would keep it from being fired if the stock were folded and the gun was cocked and loaded....such as, load the gun, safe it, fold the stock, unsafe the gun, and fire it......but I hate to think what would happen to the BCG and the rear of the receiver under recoil without the buffer system to absorb the impulse.OldCannon wrote:Interesting, but "Can't be fired" and "Shouldn't be fired"....BIG difference.
