Hi there instead of squeezing the lever like you were adjusting the length, pull it down as it will move furher this allows the pin to clear the stock holes, then just slide it off whilst holding it out, as for tac type suggestions, theres loads you can do, its purely a matter of personal taste, but there are loads of pics on here so you can see what you like the look of before you even buy the stuff, hope this helps, cheers,
Picked up mine a few days ago.... nice .22, however the plastic hand guard really felt too..... plastic? Maybe weapons grade polymer sounds better. Thankfully Mossberg didn't mold the hand Guard to the body of the gun. So almost out of the box an aluminum hand guard had to be machined for mine. Changed out the plastic for my aluminum hand guard, which still needs a little more work and I'm still waiting for my new rails in the mail. Add a scope, laser, and bipod. Now it feels a lot less like a toy and more like a firearm. Happy Plinking everyone!

that looks really good, how does the gun stand legally with the shortened barrel? because chopping a bit off to get the proportions right did cross my mind, but didnt know if it then made it restricted or some other foolish rule, also was it a hacksaw job or machined to get a nice finish on the crown,
Unless there's something goin on with that configuration that I don't understand I believe he's in possession of a home made SBR.
Has that flash hider been permanently fixed the the new 15" barrel?

It's a US thing. I'm not too sure what exactly it means, other than a rifle with a barrel under a certain length.

ahh, so could just be short barrel rifle? but is the shortened barrel legal? or does it change it to another class, if not i'm gonna go get m hacksaw!!!! cos the barrel has always been too long for true proportions,bellofello said:
^ Pump the brakes on that one.
If he shortened the barrel to under 16" himself and that muzzle device has not been permanently fixed to the barrel, then he's in possession of an SBR (Short Barreled Rifle). Unless prior SBR registration has been approved by the BATFE (Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives) for this rifle, he's in violation of Federal law according to NFA regulations. In the United States, it is a federal felony to possess an SBR without paying a $200 tax to the BATFE. Purchasing a short-barreled rifle is accomplished by filing a BATFE Form 4, Application for Tax Paid Transfer and Registration of a Firearm, and paying a $200 tax. A short-barreled rifle must be transferred by a Class 3 SOT dealer. When an individual wishes to build a short-barreled rifle, he or she must beforehand submit a completed BATFE Form 1, Application to Make and Register a Firearm, along with $200 for payment of the tax stamp.
Long story short, not a good idea...
