The Ol Boy Roy's Review of Midwest Industries AK Alpha Series Folding Stock
In full honesty, I bought this stock mainly because it was one of the only ones in stock at the time that had most of the features I wanted. I was building an AR pattern rifle with an upper that didn't require a buffer system. Do naturally, I wanted a stock that folds. But in my case, I also needed a stock that had cheek riser options and I wanted length adjustability. The main connthat made me reluctant to buy the stock was the weight. At just over a pound, I have been trying to keep the weight down as much as possible since I intend to mount a red dot, magnifier, tac light, IR iluminator, etc. Still, despite the weight, stock is very solid and very adjustable. I was able to get a perfect cheek weld while not having to hunch so much and yet the stock was still firmly in my shoulder. The folding mechanism is pretty easy to engage and stays put when folded. Absolutely no play or wobble. Plus I like the minimalist design of it. I do wish the cheek riser could be adjusted without taking out screws. But it is a very small gripe. Overall, even if it is heavier than some other 1913 compatible stocks, This stock gives you more ways to optimize your rifle to your shooting style. You also have several qd points for a sling if you need them. Even with the weight, it hardly feels heavy in practice. While it wasn't my first choice, it turned out to be a fantastic addition to my rifle, especially for the price.
