Claim:
1. A receiver and collapsible buttstock, comprising: an integral stock connector component that extends from said receiver, proximate a buffer tube aperture of said receiver; at least one extension rod/rail aperture formed through said integral stock connector component, wherein a longitudinal axis of each at least one extension rod/rail aperture is substantially parallel to said longitudinal axis of said receiver, wherein each extension rod/rail aperture is formed so as to slidably receive an extension rod/rail extending from a buttstock; wherein said buttstock comprises an elongate portion of material extending from a top end to a bottom end, having a recessed channel formed in said top end of said buttstock; wherein each extension rod/rail comprises a portion of material that extends from a first end to a second end, wherein a rod channel is formed along at least a portion of each extension rod/rail, and wherein each rod channel includes a rod dimple/detent formed at each terminating end of said rod channel; a latch cover attached or coupled to said integral stock connector component, wherein said latch cover includes interior side walls defining a latch cover cavity formed so as to receive at least a portion of a latch therein, wherein said latch cover cavity extends to at least one rod/rail aperture formed therethrough, wherein each rod/rail aperture is formed so as to be aligned with a corresponding extension rod/rail aperture; and wherein said latch extends from an engagement portion to a protrusion portion, wherein said latch is movable, along its longitudinal axis, between an engaged position and a disengaged position, wherein when said latch is in said engaged position, said protrusion portion urges at least one latch element into said rod/rail aperture a distance that allows each latch element to seat into said rod dimples/detents of each extension rod/rail, and wherein when said latch is in said disengaged position, said protrusion portion allows said at least one latch element to retract from said rod dimples/detents and into said rod channels of each extension rod/rail.
