ive shot a few types of folded stocks on multiple occasions in the past with no problems. scar's,ak side and underfolders, 870 topfolder, a converted saiga12 etc. a very nice 2a member even let a few of us try out a pretty sweet preban ar pistol with a short stroke gas piston so no buffer tube or vfg! that was unique to shoot but still not dangerous.
anyway i started the thread because the other day i got yelled at when my friend and i loaded 6 rounds in a mag and the RSO walks over and yells asking if we know what rule #4 is. confused with what we did wrong i say no not off the top of my head, but that i am familiar with the rules since i come here pretty often nowadays. he huffed and said "guess not ah, u firing 6 shots rule numba 4 says 5 shot limit" i apologized for our honest minor mistake and he shook his head and muttered to know the rules if i wanna shoot and walked away.
after he sat back down i saw him watching over me intently so i decided it was time to clean up since i was kind of finished with my ammo anyway so i cased up all my rifles but one. ive already previously shot it three times with the stock folded since i bought it less than a month ago and i proceeded to do it again for one 5 round mag before i left.
i was seated at the bench and had my two elbows planted as a brace and i was using a 30 round mag as a monopod. i slow fired 4 rounds and just as i squeezed off the fifth i saw the same RSO in the corner of my eye briskly walking towards me again all upset and came over and yelled that there is no shooting like that. i sat there and waited for him to once again cite the specific rule i was breaking, but i wasnt trying to ask for trouble or anything. he just stood there mad like i did it just to spite him since he just yelled at us. i walked over to the board to review the rules and didnt see anything mentioning shooting folded/collapsing stocks or legal ak/ar pistols with no buttstock at all. he was just glaring at me like i was a smart ass so i finished cleaning up and left.
its not like i was hip firing a large caliber firearm while doing some type of movie reenactment, i was just practicing controlled slow fire with the stock folded while seated and properly braced for the massive recoil from a muzzlebraked .223
