Reviews & Ratings for A3 Industries Modular Folding Stock w/ Picatinny 1913 Mount — 7 reviews — Page 1

I got this because I have one of their older versions (from when they were “A3 Tactical”) on my Stribog and I liked the way it locked in the folded position. Sadly, this new version does not lock in the folded position, it just swings open which makes it pointless to attach a sling to it.

Also, the way the 1913 hinge attaches is a poor design in my opinion. Instead of a clamping design with a lug/crossbolt, you fill a 1913 slot with a tiny steel piece, slide the mount over the 1913 rail and tighten two tiny set screws (2mm hex) which pulls the mount away from the rail. My problem with this is the entire engagement relies on two tiny set screws for both vertical and horizontal forces. If you have to mortar your gun to clear a malfunction, you’re essentially hammering on the set screws and their tiny bit of thread engagement.

I still like the aesthetics, it works and is modular but I wouldn’t recommend it for serious use

Better than I thought. This folding stock completed my build and looks/performs amazing. If you are on the fence about this product just get it. You won't be disappointed.

I really like the ability to tailor make my own A3 stock using the various components available. I would highly recommend visiting the A3 tactical website to get more detail idea of the components and their dimensions. The stock is solid with no wooble at all. I would recommend getting the cheek riser, which is much more comfortable than bare metal rail. The only negative I experienced is the height of the folding hinge. The hinge extends below the stock and in my case interfers with my grip, as it will hit my trigger hand. This maybe just for this particular rifle setup but it was a serious enough problem for me. I reached out to A3 about this and they were prompt in their reply. They suggested that I try reversing the hinge upside down. I think that will work for some rifle but not for bolt actions or side chargers as it will fold on right side and hit the charger/bolt.

This A3 side folder is very stable, strong and compact when folded. I purchase it for my Scorpion Evo3 S2 micro SBR mainly to fit in a gray man sling pack for EDC.

Optics Planet had about the best selection and great prices around. Shipping was extremely quick too.

Thanks to optics planet for the great price and quick delivery of the item! I’m still waiting on the stamp to be able to use it but it arrived fast and looks great. AT3 seems like a really good company with high quality products.

The quality is amazing I love that it feels sturdy and locks in palce has a little bit of play after soem use though just tighten down the button you fold it with an Alan key and give it a dot of loctite and it’s perfection the length of pull was perfect for my vz61
