sweetcostarica 18 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) Just received a Bonesteel Arms folding stock for Saiga 12 after waiting a month for it because it was out of stock (no ones fault). The cost is reasonable at $150 USD but from time to time there are sales that lower it's price. By the way this is almost the same folding stock as their Vepr-12's but the Saiga 12 stock is $15 USD cheaper. Correction: The Vepr-12 stock cost the same as the Saiga 12's. This Bonesteel product is made of 6061 t6 aluminum tubular stock and is Galil style. On this folding stock the standard bottom screw for regular stocks is not used. I put mine in just to cover the open hole and luckly my after market MD ARMS Molot style pistol grip covers 40% of the screw and keeps it from getting lost.I recommend adding sling swivel for $5 USD. It is a useful option and it balances the look of the Bonesteel Folding stock, without it there is just a gap on the side of the product that looks odd to me. My view on the product is that it is high quality and a tough piece of gear. It is a serious folder that I don't think will become loose or wear out anytime soon. I recommend this metal folding stock to anyone who wants a good folder that is designed well and will last. So far I like it a lot. Below is a video of the folding stock in action.

corbin 621 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Very nice review. It looks like the charging handle clears the stock when in the folded position. Nice. About how much clearance is there? Oh, for future reference, the forum has a section just for doing reviews: http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/forum/128-product-reviews/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, for future reference, the forum has a section just for doing reviews: http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/forum/128-product-reviews/ Yes, I can charge the shotgun and fire it with the stock closed. A pretty good design. Oops, you can tell I'm new. From now on I post reviews where they are suppose to be. Thanks for your reponse. Izzy Shooter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kanekoa28 1 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 cant wait to order one but i'm waiting on the shorter version stock and butt pad to come out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ninefall 4 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Kanekoa28, the warsaw length is out. I have one. Get to ordering! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Krtismo 1 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 It looks like the rear tang can be left installed? Can anyone confirm this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sapper1371usmc 107 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 It looks like the rear tang can be left installed? Can anyone confirm this? Thats one of the attachment points. So yes, you retain the rear tang. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So yes, you retain the rear tang. sweetcostarica (USN) confirms what sapper1371usmc said above. Not having to cut the tang off is a plus to me because I might latter on want to put a regular non-folding stock on it again. You might too. This makes it a great folder to use for that option.

Fishbed77 3 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 What is your cheek weld like when using this stock? Is is similar to that of a stand Warsaw-length fixed stock? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pyzik 597 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Thanks for the review! I have been trying to decide if I want to replace my Beryl stock with one of these. I think I would like that little bit of extra length. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sweetcostarica 18 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 What is your cheek weld like when using this stock? Is is similar to that of a stand Warsaw-length fixed stock? Cheek weld is good for my big head using the regular Saiga 12 sights. Some might prefer padding for an EOTech sight (or similar) that raises you eye level. The Bonesteel folding stock for the S12 comes in Warsaw length and NATO length. The one I bought and the one that's in the pictures is NATO length. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kanekoa28 1 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Kanekoa28, the warsaw length is out. I have one. Get to ordering! there is one more length looking to be released sometime in FEB. "Curently we have nato length available which measure 10.4" from the rear of receiver, we will be releasing warsaw length 9.4"(same as standard ak stock) and entry 8.4" as soon as we can." http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/80242-new-stock-coming-soon/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KennyFSU 249 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Where can I order the warsaw length one? Their website is not up to date. http://bonesteelarms.com/Ak-Saiga-Folding-Galil-style-stock-AKFSGL.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
obiwanbonjovi 337 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Where can I order the warsaw length one? Their website is not up to date. http://bonesteelarms.com/Ak-Saiga-Folding-Galil-style-stock-AKFSGL.htm you have to select left or right folding before you can select the length. We are working on updating site and pics, but currently are more concerned with getting orders out the door, than with increased marketing. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sweetcostarica 18 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I should also add to my review that the end of this stock is hard and so you will probably want a recoil pad of the removable type at the range or hunting. For me I find the "Shooters Friend" recoil pad reduces the felt recoil by a good amount. No bruise on my shoulder. Cost about $20 USD and it fits the Bonesteel Folding stock well. Not tacticool looking at all but it works better that any other recoil pad I have ever used - I, being born in 1962 (I'm 50... I'm 50!). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Krtismo 1 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Does anyone know if the ACE AKFX buttpads will fit on a Bonesteel stock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdpete 6 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I have Bonesteel's left folder with the M4 stock with a limbsaver pad on and you can shoot that thing all day long. Only drawback is that the limbsaver slip on pad is kinda pricey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
obiwanbonjovi 337 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Does anyone know if the ACE AKFX buttpads will fit on a Bonesteel stock? they will bolt on and function but do not line up cosmetically. We should have had ours by now but the mold is apparently taking much longer to make than I was originall quoted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ninefall 4 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Ive got both my bonesteel stocks installed and they are both awesome! Good company! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saigabryan 0 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Looks good! I have been looking for folder options and since I cant afford to have a gunsmith do the work on a K-var folder this seems like the next best option for me. I just got my first s12 for xmas and will be ordering a left folder soon. Hope the order doesnt take forever to get filled. I may be doing this to my s20 if it is all it seems to be. My 7.62 will stay solid k-var. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saigabryan 0 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 It seems like the triangle stock wont work with MD20rd drums, maybe the Warsaw would but doubt it. Guess I can always keep it ready to rock with some 12rd mags and pull the drums out with it open if sh*t get heavy. I imagine the M4 would work with the drums if completely collapsed. Does anyone know about this and could give me some advise before I order? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
obiwanbonjovi 337 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 all the way collapsed it still won't clear a drum when folded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
