Anything is possible if you have the design/engineering skills, but don't you think if this was practical then gun makers would have thought about it and done it by now??

Similar to what i mean:

 

Folding gun

i think its because if its under a certain overall length then its no longer classed as a rifle so can only legally operate up to 6 ft/lbs. Thats why the TDR wont work without the stock fitted. it would certainly be very useful though, i've always fancied doing it to my ratcatcher.

nope any rifle that can fold down has to be restricted to 6 ftlb like a pistol, or like the tdr rifle range de activated on take down some thing to do with laws on power to length. was discussed on a rifle forum. regards

it would be fine unless the rozzers pick you up. in that case technically its an illegal firearm. i wouldnt risk it personally but its still an appealing idea!
