Any left side folding stock will not close and latch with a scope mounted in the side rail. I think their description just means it will fit on the rail, but it does not mention folding the stock

It's one or the other not both. Locking left side stock or scope mount on the left side. That's why when I made my RPK with a Bonesteel side folder to the right.
Congrats on the new Rifle.

You guys may be right, but I certainly don't like the idea that I have to choose! I want both my fold and my optic.
No reflection on you guys mind you, but if anyone has a 'get both' solution, I sure would like to hear it! |

This is the same with the side-folding polymer stocks like on new Arsenal SLR FR rifles. They just have enough material relieved to let the stock latch folded without a scope mount on the rail. I just don't fold it all the way when I need to take it in the car folded. I don't shoot it folded anyway, so no need to latch for my use cases.

Well I don't have a folding stock on it any more, but this is still what I use for an optic mount and it works perfectly for folders, Attero bravo + PA micro:

Yeah, you can use any mount that doesn't go on the left side.

Correct, if you want to fold the stock, you'll need to look at other options.
1. Replace the Gas Rail upfront - there are numerous options from an Ultimak rail to Midwest handguards - red dot mount 2. replace the rear leaf sight - I don't have any experience so you'll need to research - likely rod dot mount 3. TWS - replace the top cover with a firm picatinny rail mount option - red dot or magnified optic 4. Handguard and top cover replacement - Zenitco - expensive but option for Red dot and magnified optic There are options, just a question of what optic and cost you want |

Don't be afraid to embrace the power of the QD design for side mount optics. Good mounts will return to zero so there is no worry about removing and remounting the optic and rail/mount combo
Other options already mentioned work well also |
