Probably a stupid question

First, good evening to fellow gunners. I am brand new to this site, although I am certainly not new to guns, having shot since a lad, with military experience, and I try to get to the range as often as I can afford to do so.

I just late last week purchased a brand new Colt Match Target
AR15M4 carbine. It has 6 position adjustable butt stock. My stupid question (being an AR FNG) is how do you adjust it? I took the inset screw from what I thought was the lever or whatever below the stock with an allen wrench, but nothing moves and I do not want to force it until told otherwise. I “assumed” this was an easy adjustment meant for the field, not the workbench?

As set up I need a few more inches of reach to the fore guard to be comfortable. I spent several hours at the range Sunday morning putting 150 rounds through paper. Man, what a gun right out of the box. I was just taking it for a test drive, next time back I am going to attempt to sight it properly.

Any heads up on the adjustable stock would be greatly appreciated. I now look forward to me and my new “friend” learning a lot about the weapon. Thanks in advance.

Is this the MT 6400? If so, it’s a post ban carbine that while having a stock that looks like a retractable, is in fact not retractable.

Pictures would help.

Thank you Templar…that makes sense as to why it didn’t move. I thought I was missing something. The ad indicated a 6 position adjustable stock…should have known.

Your response is greatly appreciated.

Colt uses 4 pos adjustable stocks to begin with, and the M4 Target is ban compliant. Means no flash hider, adj stock, etc.

You can fix these “issues” quite easily.

Agreed…but I am in NJ

Let me know if you ever need a spare stock for your MT. My state isn’t so strict and I have swapped mine for a working unit.

The best solution would be to leave that soviet block state comrade.

Sorry to hear about that man. Nj is a pain in the ass with their laws. But yeah your stuck with a non adjustable stock. Just stick with it till you move which i would suggest. PA is always nice we are pretty much allowed any thing.

I am an OK’r too…
