    A long while ago I saw a really nice folding stock for the 10/22. It was a wire stock that looked like the folder on the AC556. I have been looking around and all I see are some cheesy, chunky, or cheap looking folding stock options.

    I want this stock:


    For a 10/22. Is it even possible? I KNOW I saw one a while ago.

    Thanks in advance!

    The only halfway decent one I'm seeing on GunBroker is the Butler Creek. The ATI Strikeforces are a little too bulky for the 10/22 (better suited to a Mini-14) and the RamLines are just plain atrocious, lookin like Fisher-Price.

    That's what I have found so far. They all look damn cheesy and suitable for maybe a toy gun.

    It's Federal Ordinance that made the wood underfolder about 15 years ago.



    Tough to find though, and awfully pricey.



    Word has it that they were a little wobbly.

    That's nice! I bet I could fix that wobble though.

    FWIW this is for an SBR project. I am not going to go forward with it until I can get a badass folding stock option. Thanks for the help! Any more info you have would be great!

    AGP makes a folding stock but based on what you've said I don't think it's what you want. Their takedown conversion looks nice too but I'm not sure that the takedown conversion makes sense on an SBR.

    Found one. Must be made of gold, though.

    Arrgh! I am pretty sure it was that ramline stock I was looking at a while ago. There is no way I would pay $800 for it though.

    FWIW the project is going to be something like this:



    ...but with a stupid huge suppressor. I mean like motorcycle muffler huge. 2" OD x 10" long. I am checking to see of some local Class 02 builders can fab it for me.

    I really don't think it would be that hard to make your own. Wood 10/22 stocks are a dime a dozen, I'd take one as a starting point and cut it down, add an AR-style grip. Find some good hardware from a folding stock and you'd be in business.

    I was thinking about possibly using an AK folding stock mechanism. I really like the one on my SAR-1. On the other hand someone was telling me about folding stocks for some of the higher quality paintball guns. I have never seen them up close. Are they solid?

    I don't know about paintball guns, but I think something like this would be really cool:

    Hang on. You just gave me a good idea. I have to shoot an e-mail to someone now.

    Update: This is the idea:
    http://www.troupsystems.com/rimfire%20para%20stocks.htm


    Designed to use standard AR15 pistol grips and stocks, or you can use the side folders off other stocks, mounting screws included. Price is $69+SH
    That stock + one of these:

    what kind of stock is this where can I get it....
    indoctrinate through academia and media.
    why is that the ones that seek tolerance are the most intolerant.

    It's a Krinker Plinker, similar to this one, but I can't find the exact stock in the picture.
