This thing is legit. It can be quickly snapped into the fully extended position with a satisfying “thunk”. Once extended, there is no wiggle room. Tight tolerances are used. I’m impressed. Worth picking up.

Had a tail hook laying around and found this folding brace for it to match up with a 10/22 charger. It’s perfect! It looks good, the folding function works great. It holds the brace in the folded position and then locks into place when needed. Super happy with it. Of the few guns I’ve tinkered with I’ve found Midwest Industries makes quality parts for a good price. I’ll keep buying their stuff.
Cons:
- Possibly heavy for some applications
Would recommend: Yes

This seems to be a quality folding mech and brace arm/extension. Paired with tailhook makes for nice and stable set up.

seems like a solid brace that should have no problem under any recoil. Currently using with a mod1c tailor and it fits like it meant for it. It would be nice if it had the anti-rotate groove for the tail hook though. There is a very slight wobble in the folding hinge in the open position which as a little disappointing. On the folded position the detent holds it closed but it can sway a little bit. I wouldn’t say it’s heavy but it is a little heavier than I expected for an aluminum body.

This is an extremely well-engineered and strong piece. Midwest Industries refers to it as a "BEAM", and that's an accurate description. It is designed specifically for the Gear Head Works Tailhook brace, and the fit is exact.

For the PC Charger: My options were the FS1913 or this Midwest Industries product. After researching the potential negatives of the FS1913 inadvertently folding under recoil, I opted for the more sturdy MI folder. I have to say, I made the right choice. The folding mechanism on the MI folder is extremely well built and doesn't even budge under recoil. And it easily folds with a simple lift upward. Well done, Midwest Industries, again!
Cons:
- Slightly heavier than the FS1913.
Would recommend: Yes

This side folder by Midwest Industries is a great way to mount the Tailhook Brace. It's solid and looks good as well. It stays open and closed very well and folds flat against my receiver with the tailhook brace installed. It's made specifically for the Tailhook Brace which in my opinion is the best brace option because I i don't like the look of the Velcro straps most other braces have.

Attaches Securely to any 1913 rail section. Works great, solid lock up, and sturdy design. Highly recommend for using it on an AK platform.
