How are people Welding Krink Plinker Stocks?

The KRINKER PLINKER IS A CUSTOM STOCK KIT FOR A RUGER 10-22 . Goto www.krinkerplinker.com .I guess it requires some welding and ROBERT McC was wondering the type of welding others are using. Shooting has it's JARGON just like everything else.
 
I don't own one but looking at the pictures from the link above a couple small tack welds with a tig (preferable) or mig welder in SKILLED hands should do the trick. Place the tacks on the hinge on the left side of the stock, there is aready a bead of factory weld on the stock right next to the hinge, if properly done it would look quite at home. Also if laws where to change the stock's function could be restored with not too much difficulty. If one wanted the welding to be "invisible" you could disassemble the hinge and chamfer out the hinge surfaces with grinder, re-assemble, weld (filling in the chamfers), grind to original profile, polish and reblue. This would be quite permanent and may avoid possible legal problems

I speak both of Canada's official languages but don't understand a word of your question.

Do you speak Canadian, eh?

If you never had a idea WTF I was talking about, I think it should have been the best to keep your mouth shut.

And BTW I speak English, No such language as Canadian.

I had no idea what the post was saying. I can imagine there are others who didn't either.

In fact the idiom of Canadian speech is recognizable. There are whole dictionaries specific to our use of the English language.

Well 3 people did recognize what I was talking about.. So If you have nothing to say to this topic, Dont speak.


Back to topic, I thought of 2 Ideas, 1 was to JB weld the latch onto the reciever and 2 was to put a plate between those 2 screws in the rear, Preventing the Latch from pushing out to disengage.

Did you pick that kit up in Canada? If so, where... looks cool.
 
Welding KinkerPlinker stocks?

Robert,
I didn't know what the hell you were refering to either. Thanks to Bearman's thoughtfullness of providing a link, we now know the rest of the story. No need to cop attitude dude.
 
I would try for some method that isn't unbreakable. If you go with a weld I'd try to make sure it isn't a good one. I haven't seen a Krinker in person (and mine won't arrive for a little while yet), but I'm hoping to blue locktight the stock release button or something so that it requires extreme force or an external heat source to break the bond.

Having to touch up the paint is minor, but never being able to resell it to someone who wants to register it as a restricted would just suck.
 
Unfortunate that the 8" kits that have been brought in recently are Not pre-welded -- Especially since (I believe) C&S will do this welding for free on request.

Even if it turns out that the <26" kits *Can* Legally be re-registered as Restricted (which hasn't yet been conclusively proven as far as I know), I suspect 80% of folks are going to want their kit welded open so that the rifle doesn't need to be re-registered.

Don't feel bad. I started shooting 59 years ago and have been gunsmithing professionally for 37 years. I had never heard of Krink Plinker Stocks until this thread.

Some people get so involved with certain disiplines of shooting they expect everyone else to know it all too.

It was nice of BEARMAN to post a link to see the product, so much nicer than being told to basically "F" off.

BEARMAN's response allow the rest of us to become more knowledgable and makes this forum more enjoyable to all... isn't that what gunnutz is all about.

The folding stock design requires welding so it will not fold. When you use a barrel shorter than the factory Ruger barrel you run into an illegal overall length problem if the stock is capable of folding.

If the stock is welded open, can it still be removed from the frame of the kit? Or does it need to be folded to undo it from the frame?

What if the bolts come loose and you can't access them because it's welded?
