Just installed the new Sylvan Arms Gen 4 Folding Stock Adapter. Install was easy. Looks good and the QD mounts are a nice touch. The hold open detent works good. Latches and unlatches well. My only issue is there is a 2.5 to 3mm gap/play when the latch is closed. I put a magazine through the gun with no issues but that gap bothers me. I sent an email to Sylvan to see if this is a normal condition or not. Check out my review and unboxing video if you want.

Update: the gap/play is not normal according to SA. They are sending out a replacement folder!

You have to use the actual URL of the pic, OP, not some DropBox page URL:  Never mind, DropBox is retarded, you'll have to host the pics w/ a real image hosting service.  ETA:  It also looks as if you're using your real name in your picture links.

Such is the price of a knockoff.

Why?  When you can get the law, used for 200?

Had the same experience as the OP.  Slight gap and play.  Sent an email and Sylvan replaced it.  Replacement is perfect.  No gap or play and locks tight.  IMO the design is well thought out and it doesn't require the buffer detent.  Slick installation.  Can't complain and Sylvan's customer service has been exemplary.

Can this be installed on an SBR without new paperwork or does the folder change the configuration and require a new form 1?
Who makes the best folder? Law Tactical???

Changing configuration doesn’t ever require a new F1 so long as you can revert back to the originally registered configuration.

Seeing as you can just simply remove the folding adapter, that wouldn’t be a problem.
