Received in a surprisingly timely manner. The Picatinny attachment bracket is solid and accurate to 1913 specs.
The opened position does not have a lot of slop or play.
The controls are VERY stiff - I have good hand strength (paramedic for decades lifting cots) but the angle to push the stock extension button requires a specific angle and sometimes both hands. It does seem to be getting slightly looser as I break it in, can just use one hand now.
The fold open mechanism is to lift up on the stock at the Picatinny bracket and this pivot point/spring is exceptionally strong. There may be manufacturing tolerance issues, I'm not sure. I relubricated it which helped somewhat, but you have to hold it low on the gun side and pull hard on the other side to raise the back portion up enough to collapse it.
It does collapse to the left side of the gun, leaving the ejection port unobstructed, which is nice. I tried mine on a Kuna with a non-reciprocating bolt so I know it can be shot collapsed.
I recommend this item with the caveats above. I'll update this if it 'loosens up' more to the point of fairly easy manipulation of the extension and folding mechanics.
I didn't see the specs list the over all length but it is SHORT - puts your eye right at the back of the weapon's rear sight. Some may find this disconcerting, doesn't feel like a normal rifle setup - more compressed.

Quality is fair, there is some grip friction but not enough for very wet hands. Fit was good, a bit pricey to call a good deal.

These are very price reasonable. They come on a tear off pad, probably 20# paper so could tear easily but were solid in a bit of wind using the first time today. I put them over cardboard silhouette with the brown side towards me and the holes showed up fine, even at 100 yards (through a 24x scope). No complaints, happy with the purchase.

Haven't installed it yet. It seems fairly well constructed though there's a slide switch on the back of the red dot that appears very unsealed - like something you'd find on a piece of indoor electronics, not a field weather protected switch. The other switches are very difficult to turn, so assume they have an o-ring.
The windage adjustment is sealed, you just turn it on the outside - no locking feature. The elevation adjustment has a cap and a screw inside to adjust, the cap has an o-ring. This difference is unusual.
The scope is illuminated and the battery access is on the left, on top of the on/off/strength turret. The manual says it comes pre-installed - it does not. The red dot battery is under the red dot (a common configuration) and you have to take it off it's mount to insert/replace the battery.
The manual also says the red dot is mounted on a picatinny/weaver rail and comes off the tube mount which encircles the scope in the back half - it does not. I'm not sure how it comes off, if at all. There's supposed to be a thumb nut to remove it, this is missing on the red dot.
It appears this is designed by an engineer with no shooting experience, and no shooting consultant to advise on the design. I need to put the batteries in and see if it all works. If so, then try it on the intended rifle (Ruger 10/22 carbine). If it all works, I'll probably keep it anyway because it was $70 and I don't intend to stress it durability wise. If any issues, I will return for mo

I'd say the price was average, not a deal - with that out of the way...
The stitching and material seem solid, have only had it to the range once. I put a Ruger MkIV Target with bull barrel and a 5 1/2" suppressor attached in it and I still had room on either side as well as up and down. There are two barrel loops which sort of help secure the weapon a little better, but it will slide around in there, the loops would be better positioned on the bottom, really duplicated there, so you could positing the gun upside down for more weight at the bottom.
That said, the zippers and Velcro fasteners are solid so far, and there's plenty of space and pockets for accessories and magazines. The material seems strong, handles are well secured, and there's adequate (not extra) padding on the inside. There's plenty of room for 2 guns of the type I list, but needs a divider to be safe for that. You could add your own - this would be much enhanced if they would've thought of that in addition to the barrel support 'rings' mentioned above.
I bought two, one for my son, and he'll also appreciate the bag. I'm happy with the purchase so far.

So these installed easily. The release could be made by just drilling out the hole (get rid of the 'tab' of your existing release). But the price was worth it to have it done and have the OEM part left over if this one malfunctions.
The hold back cross pin installs a little more difficultly, has one chamfered end hard for me to see but should be placed in a hole first and followed through to the other side. I tapped it with a small plastic head hammer to get it in place. It will probably stay put better than the OEM steel pin.
The release functioned perfectly, no mis-releases, every time it was used. I can't say if the recoil was less, there's not much with the 10/22 and a heavy bull barrel, but I had no miss fires or fail to eject as some theorized. I think I got the kit for about $10 here - put it in both my 10/22s (Target and Carbine) and installed and worked equally well in both.
Recommend this item.

I tried 2 of these. The finish is fine, but the 'butt' of the barrel that inserts into the receiver is too large in diameter. The OEM is 17.45mm and this item is 17.60mm. I tried to reach the company but their website says 'contact the seller' - couldn't find any support email or phone number. I did buy the other model of this that says 'heavy', this one is pencil, and the heavy fit my Ruger 10/22 Target well. I was shooting MOA groups at 100 yrds with it. I cannot recommend this barrel due to poor QA I assume.

Product description uses both the words bull barrel and pencil barrel, this is deceiving. It is not a true bull barrel but a standard pencil barrel. I got a different one for my 10/22 target that uses the words bull and heavy and is a bull barrel and fit correctly. I retuned this for replacement and waiting to see if the new one fits, that it was just poor QC on the first one. Receiver end was 46.74mm while the OEM barrel is 45.54mm. I will update this positively if the new one fits. So far OP service is good, just put me behind 2 more weeks.

Packaged well, boxes iand ammo in good shape, I’ve not used this brand before. If it shoots right groups will be a good values price wise.

Some of the best pricing out there currently for copper coated. With excellent equipment, I could only shoot a 2MOA group at 100 yards, and while part of that can be me, some of it was definitely the ammunition. It has some sort of waxy coating on it both providing some lubrication, but the same time, some friction as it’s thicker as far as feeding into and being released from the Magazine. With a Ruger 10/22 precision target I only had one or two failure to feeds and no failure to fire in 100 rounds.
