AR-15 Folding Stock Adapter ($199)

Arguably this could be money better spent, but I'd love a hands on demo!

Just in case you guys haven't seen it yet. It's new to me!

A person who shall remain nameless had a video with one of these. Seems like a great idea.

Looks like it leaves the rear end of your BCG exposed.  I guess it would be good for a rifle for transport in a bag, but I don't think I would carry it into the field.

I believe it is designed almost solely for that purpose and concealment, not dragging through the mud or sand in a far off land.

WARNING:  Do not attempt to fire your modern sporting rifle with the stock in a folded postion.  It will put your eye out for sure.

Man...I don't know.  It is a great idea if it weren't for possible training issues under stress.  Its kind of like the Serpa holsters.   A great idea, but unfortunately human beings have to function properly under stress for it not to result in disaster.

Really smart piece of engineering, but I'm not sure if it's worth the expense (and risk of getting shot while folded) just to make the gun about 4-5" shorter.

I would just like to point out that AK's with folding stocks, can indeed be taken to the field and for dragging through the mud and they will not put your eye out, if you fire the weapon with the stock folded.  And that's all I have to say about that. :rofl:

[gjohnsoniv]

It won't fire with the stock collapsed? From what I've heard it is designed that way with the sole intention of keeping your face from being skewered. Maybe it can fire but the bolt carrier won't move back.

This looks like the answer to the question nobody asked IMO. I'd rather take that $200 and buy 200 rounds of Wolf at panic pricing. If I'm going to waste money I might as well be able to at least use what I'm throwing it away on.

DAMN! And I thought $90 for a Rota-Pod was expensive.  :stunned:

Its pretty trick but is designed only for concealment and storage...it will NOT function with the stock folded.

It looks like it may lock the BCG so you can fire one round. Then, you would have to unfold and charge the rifle. Kinda silly to me, when an AK or Mini 14 are both fully functional with a folded stock.

I think its a genius idea but $200 or $185 with my discount is pretty steep...i would like to have it for my beastly 308 just for storage purposes but at closer to $100

If only the rifle came apart for ease of transport and storage.... ;)
