RokStok

Here is a picatinny folding mechanism from Samson mfg.

The way I see it, you
1. lay out the stock, and decide where you want to make the cut. Looks like manners decided right before the pistol grip was their spot
2. Epoxy a 1913 rail with anchor screws into the forward section
3. Epoxy a female-threaded insert into the rear section.
4. Attach the Samson folding mechanism at the picatinny forward section. Then bolt the butt stock section to the rear folding mechanism with a cross bolt.

I’ve thought about this same idea. It would definitely add some length and my fear would be it would increase trigger reach, which was part of the reason the Rokstock was built in the first place. I was trying to figure out a way to recess it in the stock to not interfere with that. That’s why the manners design is ideal.
 
Set up another one today with a bit longer LOP and medium rings. Not sure I have any preference between 14 and 14.25 for LOP will have to get some real shooting time in but short version is that it does not seem to matter. But I did not like the medium rings and swapped them back to lows. Mediums would have been useable but with lows I am just right in the eye box.
 
Looking to purchase a Rokstok for my Howa Mini 6 arc.
Would anyone happen to know if the mini action fits into the Howa Short action inlet?

No, it will not. Currently there is no Rokstok for the Howa Mini Action. They have stated the Rokstok Lite will be available for the Howa Mini Action. You may be able to get a Wooden Rokstok Lite built for the Howa Mini Action but they are expensive.

Okay thanks! I’ll wait for the Rokstok Lite

Ordering a Rokstok and I’m kind of a newb to carbon fiber stocks, can someone answer some questions I have?
1. Is it ok to get a proof contour stock if my rifle has a D18 (heavy fluted) contour? Will the gap be too big or is that ok? I may swap a carbon fiber barrel in the future.
2. What do people usually prefer for sling mounting? A qd on the rear/side or just a normal sling stud? It looks like the arca rail on the front has a qd socket already?
3. If I have no bipods at this point should I get the arca/pic combo or just pick one? Which is best?

Sorry if these are dumb questions. I tried googling and couldn’t find much.
 
Can rokstoks be ordered right now? I though they were only opening the orders for a set amout every so often, but It is letting me add one to my cart on the website.

1. Yes, under almost all circumstances you should go ahead and order the sendero barrel channel.

2. I don't usually bother with a sling. I either carry in hand or attached to my pack with SG rifle carrier. I've also found that the qd on one of my stocks is installed in a way that prevents a sling from engaging properly. Hasn't been a problem for me so I never bothered to contact UM about it.

3. My advice would be to decide what sort of bipod you'd like to purchase and go from there. Personally, I wouldn't plan on using a rail that far forward for tripod mounting, so it's really just whatever you want to attach.

I would get the proof contour no matter what profile you have unless you really care about the aesthetics. You really can't have too much gap from a functional standpoint (more dead cats the better).

Imo qd is the best way to mount a sling. I didn't get flush cups on mine and I regret it. I think if you order with a rail it comes with both cups already installed but I'm not 100% on that.
3. If I have no bipods at this point should I get the arca/pic combo or just pick one? Which is best?
Pic should cover almost every bipod out there so I'd just get that unless you want to shoot off of a tripod at the end of the stock
