Here is a pic of a similar jmac knockoff stock on the scale if that helps. Folder mechanism is very stiff to begin with, but gets better with use... mounts to a 1913 adapter.
The tan one in the pic is the IMI Kidon. Only issues with it are, it's an inch and a half too short for my preferred LOP, and the poly material has a bit of flex to it. Fine for an sbr setup, but not ideal if I'm trying to take long precise shots. Definitely a good alternative to the smoke composites... considering if you want a folder with a smoke setup, you are at about 9oz... and a couple hundred dollars more.Thanks for posting. Details about the folding butt-stock assembly?
I kinda assumed we were ALL weight weenies if we were following this thread...I'm impressed, Packgoatguy! Keep it up. This is a big help for weight weenies.
I’ve gone down the aluminum tube route as well as Samson is back ordered for the gas block. Let me know how yours works out, mine will be here Monday to try to get it fittedMy build is currently sitting at 4lbs 9.1oz including 10.2oz Scope (swfa 2.5-10), 3oz 1 piece rings (aero precision), scope caps, 3oz ten round pmag, folding stock with cheek riser (homemade from carbon fiber), 8oz suppressor, .3oz muzzle thread adapter, and upgraded Giselle trigger (adds about 1.5oz), a .7oz arca rail (including screws and nut), and about a .3oz diy gas block barrel hole cover out of aluminum tubing (not yet tested... so not sure if it will hold up).
Bare rifle sits at about 2lbs 15.8oz without scope, mag, suppressor, etc.
This is what it looks like... I haven't shot it yet. Trying to give the JBweld plenty of time to cure. Basically, I used a bit of the steel putty to plug the little hole, then once that was set I used the 5k psi stuff to put a piece of aluminum pipe over it. Then I used the quick set putty again to put another larger aluminum tube over the top of that one, so it would hold everything in place while it cured. The two pieces of tube weighed about 0.3oz, and I hope I didn't use more than an ounce of jbweld... so hopefully less weight than a ti gas block. Hopefully it holds...I’ve gone down the aluminum tube route as well as Samson is back ordered for the gas block. Let me know how yours works out, mine will be here Monday to try to get it fitted
