Hello, I am a California Resident, so I am hoping that you can add an extra half spring to the folding mechanism to effectively "lock" it (prevent it from folding). I remember reading a post on a forum where you explained that this was possible. I am under the impression that I will be able to disassemble the folding mechanism and remove the half spring to regain full folding function if I ever leave the state, or modify my rifle to be 30" long even when folded to satisfy the California law. Let me know if this is not the case. Thank you, Mack Casterman 650-678-8379
