andybrock Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Forgive my ignorance but what is the point of a folding stock? I can see it's use for military use rifle being shorter easier to carry / store etc but can't see how it would benefit civilians? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch_egg Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 IMHO the manners is FUGLY. My reason for getting a folding TRG was the adjustable length of pull,comb and but pad all in one. Folders are a little sexy though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 The main benefit is shortening the lenght for easier transport , and it is more useful than you think . I have a very small car , and having a folding stock on my AI AW , means I can put it in the car on the back seat , ie east west , rather than North-south if that makes sense . The other use which is very handy and often , over looked , is when you want to either remove the bolt or clean the rifle bore , simple & quick with a folder , less so with almost everything else , as in most , you need to remove or lower the cheekrest to gain access to the bolt/bore etc . So to me , not useless , at all . Later Chris P.S. I like the look , and it brings something to the table the others donot , all others are pistol grip or thumbhole designs , this is a more traditional/conventional type of stock . I would also look at McMillan doing the same , as last SHOT they also had a similar looking stock design on display . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisF Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Yeap , easy to forget about bolt removal or cleaning . If you ever use the rifle in comps or controlled shoots , you will get real sick of lowering or removong the cheek rest ever time , just to remove the bolt for the RCO/RO etc , I know my Sako TRG-22 is a bit of a pain , and its only one bolt to remove the cheekrest .

SRGNXL Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Who has Manners folder in stock at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagged 77 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Roger at South Yorks Shooting Suppliers is the UK importer, 99% sure he hasn't got any of the folders in though. If you want one you'll need to go through him, Manners won't ship direct to individuals overseas anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
