Tight collapsible stock.

[Radonrob]

New SA AR-15 SAINT Victor.
My collapsible stock is incredibly tight and requires me to use two hands and a lot of muscle to move. Is there any way to loosen this thing up so it slides easily?
Tried to free it up with a little lubricant and it didn't work.
Thanks.

I had that same problem with the collapsable stock on my Saint AR15 also, I couldn’t get it loosened up so I put a Magpul stock on it. It has since been sold.

Remove it and see if there’s something hanging it up.

I removed it and used very fine sandpaper on the inside of the stock and on the surface of the extension tube. Lightly coated the tube and reinstalled the butt stock. After sliding it back and forth a number of times, it slides much better. I expect it will slide even easier over time.
Thanks for your input.
