1. A retractable buttstock for a firearm that is configured to transition from a collapsed position and a fully-extended position and vice versa comprising:
- a buttpad that allows a user to rest the firearm on his/her shoulder;
a pair of extension rods;
each extension rod receiving a resilient unit; and
a buffer tube housing having a release button,wherein the buttpad has a first pair of receiving holes, and each first pair receiving hole is configured to receive one end of each extension rod;
the buffer tube housing also has a second pair of receiving holes, and each second pair receiving hole is configured to movably receive the other end of each extension rod;
wherein the extension rods have one or more pairs of positioning grooves, including a pair of first positioning grooves closer to the first receiving holes and a pair of second positioning grooves closer to the second receiving holes;
each of the first positioning grooves is located at a substantially similar position on each extension rod while each of the second positioning grooves is located at a substantially similar position on each extension rod;
wherein the release button has a pair of stoppers corresponding to the first and second positioning grooves;
the buttstock reaches the collapsed position when the stoppers of the release button engage with the first positioning grooves while the buttstock reaches the fully-extended position when the stoppers engage with the second positioning grooves.

Abstract
In one aspect, a retractable buttstock may include a buttpad that allows the user to rest the weapon on their shoulders; a pair of extension rods; a buffer tube that allows the buttstock to attach to the firearm; and a buffer tube housing to receive the buffer tube. In an exemplary embodiment, the extension rods are hollow and a resilient unit is received in each extension rod. The extension rods have a pair of first positioning grooves and a pair of second positioning grooves to engage with stoppers of the buffer tube housing. The buttstock can be fully-extended and collapsed depending on whether the stoppers engage with the first or second positioning grooves. It is noted that the user can operate the retractable buttstock with one hand.
