Is there such a thing.......
« on: March 04, 2011, 06:10:46 AM »
As a folding or collapsable stock for a NEF rifle?

I am getting a NEF .500 S&W, and would like to make it more *backpacking* friendly.

Has anyone made a custom folder or collapsable stock themselves?

ATI makes an AR type stock, but collapsible stocks aren't a good idea for heavy kickers, specially with a scope mounted because it can collapse with heavy recoil.

Not what you would want on a heavy kicker for sure!

I would just put a youth stock on it and with a chopped barrel and taken down it would fit pretty nicely in a backpack.
My culled down Handi's are the 45-70, and then I have a few others to keep it company...357 Mag/Max. .45 LC/.454 Casull Carbine, .243 Ultra, and 20 gauge Tracker II.
