RPR Folding stock - NOT

[jbert27]

Bought a RPR (in 308), looked forward to getting out to the range, but made the mistake of unfolding the stock and CLICK!

It seems that without the bolt installed, the folding stock will not fold back. The pin to push does not budge...

Design flaw?
What's the trick to release and fold?

Anyone?

Just took the bolt out of my RPR and folded the stock and unfolded it and folded it and unfolded it, folded it and put the bolt back in and unfolded it and folded it with no problems at all. The bolt does not have anything to do with the folding stock (unless you are trying to fold it and the bolt is part way out).

You might have to push it a bit (to the right) when it is unfolded to take some strain off the pin to make the pin easier to push.

Is it empty? Probably can't fold closed if there is a round in the chamber and the bolt hasn't closed.

Use enough strength to push the button......

Right! Thanks.

Took a mallet, plastic side, and gave it a quick rap. Popped open fine.

Thanks again. Added a bit of lube. Good to go.
