WE SCAR Collapsible Stock

[deadlydayne]

So, if your like me and own the WE Scar you know it has its many problems...
Some smaller others larger. Im hear to tell you how to easily fix one of the smaller ones. If your stock collapses when it is fully extended and any type of pressure is put on it, have no fear its not permantely broken. Its quick and easy to fix.
So step 1, Fold your stock over and remove the single allen screw. Then pull on the rear of the stock until it slides out from the the larger section>>>


Step Two, Pull the pin out(dont loose the clip) and remove the rubber pad>>>>>


Step three, Push down on the collapsing button and pull out the steel rod.


Step Four, Now you will notice that on the steel rod, at one end there is a tab bent up that locks into your collapsing button (allows for adjustment) What you want to do is get some electrical tape and run one strip down the front and back of the bar Vertically, on the opposite side of the tab. (if you pull the bar out and have it facing up, you'll want to tape the left side. I dont know why I took a picture of it upside down)>>>>>



Step Five, Reassemble.

The bar floats around in the stock rather loosely, so when pressure is applied the bar just leans to the left and comes "unlocked" from the button causing your stock to collapse. The tape is on the left side to act as a spacer and close the gap between stock and bar. That way when pressure is applied the bar doesnt move and stock doesnt collapse unless you hit the button. Its quick cheap and simple.

I've attempted this before. Although not with electrical tape. At first I tried bending the tab, but it didn't work any better. Then I crazy glued a small strip of plastic on the teeth of the plastic catcher things. Particularly the teeth that were giving me trouble. (last one, and second one). It worked ok, but I still have the odd slip while in the second notch. It was a pain in the bollocks.

edit* that better not be your hairy belly in pic 1
edit 2* lol. It's your damned ape legs.

Well, see the problem is that the bar they use is alot thinner than the inside of the stock, so when the pressure is applied it allows it to twist and unlock from the teeth, If you electrical tape the left side (when looking at the bar from the top) you can use the tape as a shim and use as much as needed and it will remove the massive amount of extra space giving it enough room to slide but not twist and the tab should stay in the teeth.

your a genius. I must try this tomorrow.

Hahahahaha, thanks Ross. Let me know how it goes. Terrance had the same problem and it solved it for him too, so keep me updated.
