I ordered a butler creek folder for my 10/22 which was supposed to be welded in the open postion as per their description. Well apparently they removed that part on their site a day after I ordered it and the stock I received was able to fold.
Why is this a problem, you ask, now that the fed AWB is expired. Well I live in the state of connecticut which has their own AWB that says folders are illegal.
In order to comply with the law I want to "perm" keep this open but still be able to remove the lock later in case the law expires or I move.
How can this be accomplished? I see there is a small hole in the folding mechanism that look like it can be plugged and tack welded in place. I'm assuming this is how I can hold it open?
here is a pic where you can see the hole:
Any suggestion on the best way to do this or what kind of plug I can use? Thanks guys!
