Mike the TexanNeat concept.
The video here shows that the bolt is kept locked to the rear while in storage configuration, which makes sense.
At first, I thought maybe one could combine this with a very short barrel and the Law Tactical folding stock adapter, but that wouldn't work because of the bolt positioning and the fact that both systems fold to the left side of the receiver. But what about using
Dead Foot Arms' adapter? Could be a tri-fold AR-15 is in someone's future after all.

Il CattivoWell, at least the gas tube isn't exposed. Looking forward to hearing about repeatability.

3/4FlapHave debated this thing on arfcom for a while since the inventor first posted it.
With a scope mounted on the upper receiver, I think the thing has great potential to demonstrate degradation of accuracy over time if it is actually used and folded over and over.
It took us pages to get the guy to admit he has developed shims to take up any slop that might develop.
It is an interesting concept, and in today's market when conventional AR's are nearly a drug on the market it just might sell. Maybe he has the take-up and repeatability concerns of some addressed, but I think only time will tell.
