    I looked but could not find anything out conclusively if adding a slip on butt pad meets the requirements for the 29" oal law in regards to SBR's.

    Just curious if anyone knows for sure? Emailed MSP but did not get a response.

    Being as a permanently affixed muzzle device is required to gain legal length, I would think it would have to be a permanent fixture to be legit.

    If you're building a 5.56, why not go with a 10.5'' barrel? You're better off.

    I'm building a M92 PAP. I found a great butt pad for my folding stock so I just wanted to get clairification on this.

    Just a guess on my part, but I would think that if it's not part of the firearm, it's going to be illegal. Like Outrider58 said, if a muzzle device needs to be permanently attacked, I doubt a slip on butt pad will fit the bill. BUT... I don't think the law doesn't addresses this issue, so who knows.

    Don't ask, don't tell? If you're wrong, you'd probably only have to sleep with Bubba for 5-7 years. :innocent0

    Not sure what kind of stock you are using, but I used a piece of aluminum block between the hinge and stock to get to length. I'll try to get a pic and post it.
