I have been made aware of an older Sig 516 pistol with SBX stabilizing stock that wraps around the forearm for sale. I have reviewed the information about it on line and am not certain if the stock is a side folder. The image I have seen of it seems to be that it isn't a folder. Does anyone know if the stock is also a side folder like on the MPX? If not can the side folder be added? Would adding the side folding stock cause it to become a NFA weapon?

Thank you in advance.

In your experience using the firearm any negatives that you have identified?
How many rounds have you fired through it?

Not to be a nitpicky type but would rather make sure no one gets in trouble but adding a folding STOCK would make it NFA. I think Candyman meant adding a side folding BRACE or making the existing brace would NOT make it subject to NFA.

Thank you for your input.
I did mean a side folding brace and not a folding stock. I see that I didn't clarify that as well as I could of in the original post.
