    Now that she's NFA, I thought some might like to see how the PPS' is supposed to look (i.e., with a functioning stock....and, yes, that is shag carpet). Now, I just have to wait 'til I receive my ATF permission slip so I can take her to into VA to [properly] try 'er out at the NRA range:

    There're (at least) two methods of affixing the stocks to the frame: a single spot weld attaching the butt stock to the frame; or a small spot weld on the anchor pin pivot along with a too-small hole in the dust cover below the release button. In either case, the release spring is also missing, so you'll need to procure a working stock assembly (these're available either separately or included with PPS43 parts kits that're available online for ~$69).

    The stock on this gun was affixed via the second method. So the weld on the anchor pin pivot had to be ground off with a Dremel. Then, you have to grind-off the bottom of the release button's pin where it fits through the lower support piece in the bottom of the upper. This allows removal of the stock assembly.

    Then, you drill out the hole in the dust cover so the release button will fit through it and install the missing spring on the release button shaft and reassemble. The only difficult part is having to flatten/expand the bottom of the release button pin to lock it in place below the support piece. Because I didn't have the tools to (competently) handle that, I had Engage take care of it.
