Works great on rossi rs22 - ProMag Mossberg International 702 Plinkster Tactical Folding Stock

These stocks have only recently come back on the market. I tried and failed to buy two of them last year for my Rossi RS22s but they were out of stock. If you are thinking about getting one of these for your Mossberg 702 OR Rossi RS 22 DO IT NOW!
The stock comes with no instructions at all but there are several good instruction videos on the 'net. The hardest part of the job is getting the stock out of the clam shell package without cutting yourself. Make make sure the magazine is out and the rifle is not loaded, then remove the front and rear Phillips head screws and, after hee-hawing gently up and down, the barrelled action will lift up and out. Next, remove the black plastic spacer that nests inside the action and trigger guard inlet. It has "REMOVE" molded into it and you can see that plainly after you have err....removed it. Now is a good time to check out the folding and unfolding action of the stock. My two were nice and snug and fit well. However, there is a projection meant to protrude and snap into a matching inlet to keep it open. This can be a beeyotch to open.I went to work removing casting flash and rough plastic surface with fine sandpaper and a needle file. It closes smoothly with a little finger pressure and then you can lift up slightly and pull horizontally and away from the action, grasping at the butt pad, to open it. I left my stocks a little hard to open thinking they will wear in and become easier to open with use. If you plan on hunting Killer Rabbits with Razor-Sharp Teeth you should open the stock before you hit the trail.
Now it is time to place the barrelled action in the stock and tighten the two action screws. The front one is the Phillips you removed earlier but the back one is a captured (won't fall out easily) Allen-head machine bolt way down inside the grip once you open the grip trap door. This replaces the original Phillips screw. Internet sages said you need a long 6mm wrench but my metric Allen wrenches were too short so I used a 1/4" tee-handled non-metric wrench and it worked a treat.I recommend tightening these bolts alternatively in small increments. The pistol grip trap had to be levered open on both my stocks originally but they responded well to some more good old sandpaper and needle file work on the spring loaded latch.
Aside from fiddling with the stock hold-open and the pistol grip latch, this is a five minute job. To say I am considerably gruntled with the result would be an understatement. I love the stocks. They seem to have less fore end "give" than the factory stocks and they have generous clearance between the barrel and stock.You can pass even a fifty-dollar bill between barrel and stock with no contact from fore end to front action screw point
Be careful, shoot sharp and Be Happy!
