jmzzl 146 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Who likes folding stocks? What do you think about them, what do you prefer them on, and do you have one? Also, pics! Btw, this is just a way for me to whore out the new pics I took of my collection I have Butler Creek folders on my Remington 870, Ruger 10/22, and Ruger Mini-14. They're rock solid. I prefer them on rifles, but the 870 isn't too bad. Only complaint I have is that the LoP is about an inch or so longer than I'd like, but it feels good once shouldered. I added a little paracord wrap to all three of them for a cheek weld. All three have compartments in the bottom for batteries, tools, etc. I find them to be handy stocks, and that's something I like, a nice, light, maneuverable gun.

Sim_Player 1,939 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Bought a Tantal wire-folder for my x39 Saiga mostly because I think it looks cool. Its also the rifle I take on bathroom breaks, clearing rooms, or deer hunting (fired from the drivers seat of my Geo metro j/k ). Your Mini-14 looks very nice. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shandlanos 1,470 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 I have an Ace folder on my 8" S-12, I have a folding stock for an M1 Carbine that I never use, can't remember the manufacturer, also have a Romanian folder on my WASR-22, and an AK-100 folder, from the factory, installed in/on my SLR-107FR. I have an overfolder permanently pinned/welded in place on my PPS-43C, but hope to eventually SBR it. I also have an AGP folder for a 10/22, but while I've installed it on a 10/22, I took it off as it's pretty useless without a front handguard. If a Ruger 10/22 takedown ever becomes available in black instead of stainless, I want to get one, SBR it and pair it with the AGP stock. I also have a vz. 58 folder on my Draco SBR that is awaiting transfer.Not really big into folders, usually. I prefer fixed stocks, and most of the rifles that have folders are short, or they came that way and I haven't bothered to change it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coronet 131 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 One S-12 has a Bulgarian wire folder with a grenade launcher butt pad. One S-12 has a Romanian wire folder with a grenade launcher butt pad. I absolutely love them, and they reduce felt recoil. It's like shooting my AR-15 with them on the S-12. One S-12 has a DPH folder with a limbsaver butt pad. it is too long. I don't like the cheesy mounting system, with the cheap machine screws and it is a biotch to fold and unfold. I like the DPH folder by itself, it just needs a better mounting point. The wire folders both have a simple thumb lever. I love, love, love both wire folders, and you don't have to cut the tang.

DrThunder88 912 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Folders just never looked right on M1/M1A-type rifles. M1 Carbines look okay with the paratrooper stock, but freestanding pistol grips on those guns look profane to me. Otherwise, I like them a great deal. Now that Michigan's stupid laws have changed slightly, I may add some more folding stocks. One of my favorite folders is on my WiseLite Sterling carbine. It's sort of a complicated anachronism, but the pantograph design is solid and elegant. Edited June 10, 2013 by DrThunder88 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
storm6490 2,768 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 I had folding stocks years ago when they were needed. The only good thing about them is that they fit into vehicles better than a rifle with a fixed stock. The downside is more moving parts, less stability, poor reference and the inability to use the stock as a weapon. I have no use for folding stocks anymore but would like a nice takedown .308 rifle. You have a nice collection there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
