I have a 14" 44mag CVA Scout pistol.

Just filed a form 1 to SBR it.  I'm thinking a folding stock would make it an amazing compact woods deer rifle with a light scope and can on it

Anyone use either of these?

Farrow Tech picatinny adapter

Tandem Kross folding stock

No folder experience or that exact adapter, sorry.   Do have the Sharps bros. adapter.  Seems really well made.

I just used a simple adjustable picatinney buffer tube and m4 style collapsible stock for my kiddos 300blk build.  I needed the length of pull to be as short as possible when he started a year ago.
This 16" will probably get chopped at some point, but still a very handy (and accurate) little rifle

I purchased the FT with Strike industries stock. It uses the picatinny mount. I used it on a Rossi Brawler.i like it.

I'm not sure I need the Strike folder, but it looks nice.

Yeah, I have a bunch of these CVAs now, but the 44mag pistol screams out for a light folder and can.

I have a FarrowTech buffer tube adapter on a 350 Legend rifle so it would fit my daughter better.

I like it. It seems solid enough. The grip could probably be a bit smaller but its not bad.

I was thinking about picking up a 6.5 Grendel pistol and doing the same thing.

Do you have the "dual" folder or the one that only folds one direction?

I ordered the picatinny version of the Farrow Tech.  Now to decide on which folder to buy.

I went with the Strike Industries folder, one way, not the dual.   I like the idea of a steel hinge.

I went with Optics Planet due to price and free two day shipping.  We shall see how that goes

Now I need a folding stock for my CVA Scout...

I did switch it to fold to the right side after trying it out.

I like it, and will likely get the cheek riser kit.

So, my one concern: that recoil would be bad with the folder, was unfounded.  I took it to the indoor range after throwing a dot on it, and I'm in love.

The SBR Ruger Charger also doesn't suck in a chassis.

I still have a hard time believing how good the triggers are on the CVA single shots

No experience with the cva. But i b used to have a Handi when they were cheap. I had it in 357 mag which was awesome. I could supress it with the right 9mm can. I reamed the barrel to 357 MAX and got almost 35 Rem performance out of it. 38spl ammo was subsonic, cheap and quiet. 357 mag ammo was good performance and cross compatible with my 686. 357 MAX ammo was smoking. Single shots are super quiet supressed and really short without the action to add leangth.

Mine just had a short youth stock on it. It was surprisingly small with just a short stock.

I love the Handi rifles as well.  My niece got her first deer with a 16" trapper in 44mag that is now hers, but, IMO, the CVA is a better platform all around.

Anybody have a lead on a 300 blackout pistol version of this? Tried gun deals and shows that nobody has them in stock specifically looking for the newer model that you can screw a buffer tube into the grip after completing the paperwork.

Not out yet.  Shot show announcement may take a bit.

So, I put a fixed 4x Weaver Classic on this thing

It's good for under 3" five shot groups at 100 off the bench, and is perfect for my "deep in" woods hunting.  

The only issue is my one piece scope mount is a little low for my liking.  I may look for a higher one, or put the rail back on and go with high rings.

I now have some higher rings coming.  The cheek weeks on the folding stock isn't comfy with the scope so low, so I'm going to try higher rings and possibly a Weaver Grand Slam 4.75x fixed scope instead of the Weaver Classic 4x.  

It's a little longer and 11.8oz instead of 9.2oz, but the eye relief and eye box are amazing on the 4.75x, and I've killed piles of deer with that scope as the bullet steering device.

This isn't going to suck when my Griffin UL 46 HD gets here.

Higher rings make a huge difference.

I did a similar build with my TC Contender.   Cut a 14" .44 mag barrel down to 8" and had it threaded.   Also cut a 10" .22 LR barrel down to 5" and had it threaded.  Used a Choate folding stock.   Nice compact little gun.

First, really nice rig!
Want to do something similar with my Contender, am curious on where you engraved it. Was looking at putting my name on one side of the receiver that is covered by the grip & the location on the opposite side.
Thanks for the help.
