Billy Bob's Review of Choate Tool Mini-14 Side Folding Stock
The actual folding mechanism is great, don’t get me wrong. It locks very solid open or closed. I’m also a big fan of it not being a straight up wire stock.
However, the for end of the stock was extremely anorexic. I can squish it in and flex it with my fingers when gripping the rifle. Who wants that? As well as it doesn’t have a grove cut for your chassis reinforcement.
There were cast lines all over this thing from the molding. Absolute junk quality for the 120$ price tag. I actually hunted down a DISCONTINUED butler creek folding stock and swapped out the folding mechanism for the choate. Now I have the best of both worlds with some minor “tuning”.
All in all, after taking it out and putting some rounds through it with the choate. I found that it works, but your left desiring a lot more. I don’t think I should feel like I have to sand and paint something I just bought to like it, or even be so disappointed I hunt down something that isn’t even made anymore.
Buyer beware. The shotgun grips from them are good though, that’ll always be a favorite of mine from them. However the mini 14 stock are criminally priced for what they are. Just get a Samson folding stock and cry once. Looks cooler any way, and you can pretend to be Hannibal from the A-Team. That’s a win alone if you ask me.
