DIY folding buttstock for compact carry ?

[Blancoalex]

Has anyone made a DIY folding buttstock to make a rifle more compact for transport. I have some extra Rem 700 wood stocks to play with and looking for any ideas. Pics would be great if you have some. Thanks

Choate used to have that heavy sniper stock in a folder. I was always intrigued by a smaller set up for in and out of the truck.

Ebay sells a folding adaptor for the AK so you can screw a mil spec buffer tube of choice into it. The adapters are perfect to screw right into the back of almost any stock.

John K. , found this adapter on ebay. Have you put together a rifle using it? Does it lock up solid each time so that you have consistent sight picture and cheek weld.

I'll send some pics tomorrow from my project.

They're good but not awesome. Lock up is pretty tight but I get wobble from the adjustable stock.

Thanks look forward to seeing them. Be cool to build backpack rifle that folds up small.

I used it on a m1a. Worked fine. Cheap conversion in my opinion. Makes it pretty handy. You can flip it upside down and fold it on either side too

How rigid is the lock up ? Nice job and being tube system gives bunch buttsock options.

Mines pretty tight. The spring is strong enough that it's not easy to unlock for folding. The tube system is convenient. I just used an old ruger carbine stock I had laying around in the scrap pile.
