simChi 2 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Off topic, sorry if this is in wrong category and please feel free to move if needed. Got SLR106CR rifle but having problems with the folding stock - does not matter what I do it refuses to fold . Any thoughts or ideas? I am attaching two quick shots I have taken Thank you!

sunnybean 939 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 First question, does the round button on the left hand side push in? If it hangs up at all it won't fold. You might need to hit it lightly with a mallet to get it to move. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunman1 1,753 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 There is a thread covering this problem with a couple different types of folders. As I recall the problems were with burrs, dirt, and rust, which all required them to be dismantled and filed and/or cleaned and lubricated. These issues caused the button to not be depressed far enough to allow the mech. to release. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sim_Player 1,939 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) It looks like a simple spring-loaded button. Lube it with oil and they tap it gently, with a soft hammer, until it unlocks. If that works you'll need to take it apart and clean it up. Same advise as all the previous posts, I guess.

SgtRaven 531 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 All of the above IME. Had near-new Tula-made AKS-74U ("Krink") that wouldn't budge as well. Used mag to smack the bastard down to fold. Company armorer ended up de-burring and opening up the hole. Same case, perhaps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
