I got the under-folder in the mail today. it arrived well packaged.
Well made, drop-in installation.
Pros:
Plenty of "meat" if you want to hog the barrel channel out for a .920 barrel. My 16.25" standard taper free floats.
No "give" at the rear of the receiver....Very solid.
Under-folder works with BX-25 mags with room to spare. You had to take the BX (15 or 25) mag out to fold/unfold the Fed. Ord.
Once I get a front side mounted sling swivel on it should be a lot easier to operate than my Fed Ord. folder. You had to detach the front of the sling on the F.O., that and I like a side sling on a under-folder.
Solid lock-up, good cheek weld.
Locks both open and closed.
Excellent finish.
Cons:
The "shelf" behind the receiver is overly generous.....A full inch longer than the F.O. to accommodate the AK grip. That said the AK type grip feels "right".
No front sling swivel. (I'm undecided on if I'm going with a AK type swivel or a H&K type eyelet. Both would work fine.)
No brass bushing for the take-down screw.
About a pound heavier than the F.O. stock.
All and all I'm very pleased with the stock and at half the price of a vintage F.O. stock I say it's a buy if you want a wood and steel under-folder.
Action in Fed Ord. stock.
