Thinking about getting this stock.

Anybody have an opinion on it? Good or Bad?

The Tapco T6 and SAW pistol grip are good products for the money.

Tapco stocks aren't too expensive and the quality is decent (not as good as a milspec CAR, IMO)

 

 

I know a lot of people will disagree, but I can't stand the AR15 style buffer tube stock on any rifle that doesn't require a buffer tube. I'd rather have the more significant space savings of a true folder. Since I use 6 position type stocks at 2-3 notches out, 'folding' saves me an inch and a half. Big whoop.

I have a Tapco folder on mine and it was an early model with a plastic folding pin which broke on the way to the range. I called Tapco the next day and the guy who worked there was surprised that I had that pin which they replaced with a steel one. They sent me a steel pin and retainer by Friday of the same week. Now the folder works okay.

 

The plastic pin has a big stress concentration where the diameter changes abruptly from small to large and that's where it broke. Had they used a carbon fiber rod and turned it to fit they would not have experienced pin breaks.
