I just finished an Aero lower build for a PSA upper I bought earlier this year. I had entertained the idea of a folding stock to make storage and vehicle carry easier (and maybe to be just a little different)...$259 was a little much for the Law Tactical kit...
Fast forward to a week ago...Brownell's had it on sale for $199...I had a code (H7L) for $20 off for orders over $200 and free shipping so I added a pack of gas rings for $2.19 to make the $200 threshold needed to use the code...final cost was $181. For that I decided to try it...
Pluses...
It's easy to install...seems well made and heavy duty...folds securely and does not have any play when locked opened...it doesn't get in the way of the charging handle...
Minuses...
It's fairly heavy being made of steel...over 10 ounces with the buffer extension...it adds about 1 1/2" to the length of pull (not an issue to me, but may be to some)...you can't fire the rifle with the stock folded (not an issue to me...I installed it to take up less space)...
When folded it measures 26"...that is why I find it useful...
It might not be a for everyone, but I think it is a clever design...
I'm going to the range Wednesday to test it out...
