crowak 12 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I am thinking about having a small run made of metal triangle stock that will bolt up to ACE adapters and ACE folding mechanism. So it will look similar to a triangle stock and can be folded or left open depending on what ACE parts you have. I have attached a 3D model for reference. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gregomega 929 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I think it's a good idea. I don't have that setup anymore but lots of people do and would be a nice cheap us made 922r option for people who want that 100 series look and don't want to pay 260 for the stock&trunnion and another 150 to have installed. I might get one. Depends on the price. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gregomega 929 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 LOP is also a factor. Ace adds like 1/2" and I would want the taken off the stock length if possible. I donno, hard to say. I would have to shoulder it to be sure. Might be just fine. I just don't want to end up with something like what kvar has where it's adapter mounts to the tang and its like 2" longer. If u know what I mean. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crowak 12 Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Yeah I don't like the extra length either, I have it drawn up at 10" in length now but that could change. I want to see if it is possible to produce them so that I can sell them for under $100 for the stock. I am also working on drawings for a stick that would be similar to the Galileo folder except it will work with the ACE parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 +1 on the good idea. I would like to see it available in two lengths....the normal Warsaw and Nato. If it bolts up to an Ace hinge you can set it up to fold either direction just by flipping the hinge. Here's an idea for you also. Make it with a flange inside the front and lower rear corners of the triangle that has a hole to accept a QD sling swivel. One of the only downfalls of the Ace stock is the lack of adequate sling loops choices. The hinge itself comes with a nice sling loop for threading into the side of it, but only goes in one side, where it should be able to go in either side for people who want it to fold the opposite direction. In fact it would be much easier to just add a threaded hole to both sides of the front and rear, to accept the standard sling loop that comes with the hinge. They are very nice, I just like the QD ones now available for stocks like the DPH and RJF, etc. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paprotective 362 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) Heres a picture of a fixed Poly stock that was a copy of a Krink folder.. there is a slight angle to it.. Notice the HOLE in the middle of the stock by the rear trunnion.. A QD sling point their (or near their) maybe would work.. I miss that stock (sold with rifle)..

raider929 31 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I'd definitely be interested. I've been thinking of doing a Draco/PAP M92 SBR. I like the triangle side folder, however getting one installed on either of those guns is a pain in the ass. Would be much easier with the ACE setup. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crowak 12 Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I have one of those polymer stocks, that's were I got the dimensions from. On my 2D drawing i have a rib between the top and bottom near the trunion I forgot to add it to the 3D. I really like the polymer stock but it doesn't fold is the only problem. I will try to finish up a more accurate 3RD image to see what you guys think, because any advise is helpfull Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paprotective 362 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I'd say do a VEPR version as well.... (only because I have a VEPR coming in).. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crowak 12 Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 If an ACE adapter works with a Vepr then you will be able to bolt this to it. The ACE stuff is a great line of products and I just thought about making a stock in a style not available for the ACE adapter right now. I got a quote and it looks like I will probably have 20 made up once I start selling the spiker assemblies I am about to finish up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I'd say do a VEPR version as well.... (only because I have a VEPR coming in).. someone makes a block that bolts into slant cut veprs to adapt them to square Ace specs... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

protected static 19 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I was hoping that Bonesteel would come out with something like this for their folder; I'd definitely be interested in one. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrThunder88 912 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Interesting! If it's priced comparably to DPH or Ace, it'll get even more interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
filthygovemploye 64 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 ya, i wold try and keep it in the 70 buck range. and as others have said, accept recoil pads... that would be tits! i been plannin on redneck milling one of my own, but havent found time.... to reiterate, yes i would buy one depending on price.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crowak 12 Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 At the quantity that I can afford to order my cost will be close to 70 in the white, so I will probably have to be a little under 100. If my spikers sell really good I good buy a bigger quantity of the stocks so they would be cheaper. I am going to try to see what I can do to make production easier and cheaper because if they cost to much to produce I won't bother getting them made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RNA 0 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I would be in for one -- I love the simple look of the triangle stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BuffetDestroyer 969 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I asked Bonesteel if he was going to do this. I would prefer using his folding mechanism over the ACE since he supports this forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrThunder88 912 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) I've been thinking about this type of stock, and I thought to myself, "Why not make it out of stamped steel?" The original stock is stamped, after all. So, I screwed around with my graphics program and drafted up a flat design that I transferred onto some posterboard. A bit of rubber cement and Scotch tape later rendered the object in the attached images. I didn't account for the holes to attach to the block, so I haven't been able to "fit" it onto any of my Ace-equipped guns, but examining the lines puts it close to standard-length stocks in terms of LOP and comb height. Furthermore, reaching the heads of the machine screws would take a long hex head driver, probably on a ratchet. Still, it might be a more economical approach to the stock. I also don't know how thick the original is, so I based my design on a 1-inch diameter for the upper and lower struts. Edited October 20, 2012 by DrThunder88 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cguiro 29 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 It would be cool in square bar that is "fluted" it would be strong and light. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lbsrdi 1,078 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 That thing looks light, I'm not sure it would hold up well with 3"shells tho..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very nice If not in design maybe alittle bit of an arch to fit in shoulder or be able to mount pad. QD socket I'd buy this if price is reasonable Quote Link to post Share on other sites

QD socket I'd buy this if price is reasonable I totally forgot to incorporate it, but you're quite right. I was going to use an Ace-style recoil pad as the basis for the buttplate end. I don't know if a regular hex nut would work to hold it in place or a reinforcement plate on the interior would be more called for. Structural things like that would be better experimented with using a more robust material. Corrugated cardboard, maybe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
