How would you attach it? I’d like to find a rear picitanny adapter solution.

There are a couple of companies that make an adapter. Just google AR to picatinny adapter and a few will show up. Here’s one example.

Strike AR Picatinny Stock Adapter

The Strike AR Picatinny Stock Adapter gives the user the ability to mount a 1913 Picatinny interface stock/stabilizer assembly where normally the receiver extension is attached. For ARs that do not need an in-line buffer and buffer spring to function, this is a simple, fast and budget friendly...

I snagged the adapter and ordered a Sampson SAS folder (based on reviews).

It should come in at ~18 oz or very close to XLR CF folder. The black collar was about $100 more to save 5oz and lose a bit of adjustability. I’ll report back when I get it setup.

Alright. Got it put together and some good learning points and measurements for you all.

Weight of my XLR carbon with folder is 17.2oz

Weight of the SAS folder with adapter is 20oz.

LOP adjusts from 12.75-14.5”.

This locks up well IMO. As good as XLR. It folds tighter than XLR. Measured sitting on a bench the width of XLR was .5-.75” wider than the SAS setup. The SAS stays in folded position as good if not better than XLR.

The mil buffer adapter I bought will not work. It is made for an AR and although I ordered the “non flange” version I was sent the wrong one. Which worked out ok because neither would work. As you can see it hangs down into the grip. They make a compact variant that should be fine and I’ll exchange for.

You will want the stock on the highest setting allowed on the pic rail. The highest setting on cheek riser was what felt best.

Hope that helps. I like the adjustability for the 3oz penalty. There are at least two other options that should be less than XLR out there.

I'm looking forward to seeing the compact version installed.
