![]() He is training his grandchildren not to be snowflakes. He has written curriculum on the university level, served as a lead missionary, and is desperately in love with Joyce. Campbell served as a peace officer and security professional and has made hundreds of arrests and been injured on the job more than once. (He gets it honest- his uncle Jerry Campbell is in the Boxer’s Hall of Fame.)Ĭampbell has authored well over 6,000 articles columns and reviews and fourteen books for major publishers including Gun Digest, Skyhorse and Paladin Press. ![]() Campbell considers unarmed skills the first line of defense and the handgun the last resort. He holds a degree in Criminal Justice but is an autodidact in matters important to his readers. The author favors a solid stock with the AK rifle.ĭo you like folding and collapsing stocks? Why? Let us know in the comments section below!īob Campbell’s primary qualification is a lifelong love of firearms, writing, and scholarship. For all-around tactical use, with storage and adjustment for different garments more important, the adjustable stock rules. It is one thing to enjoy recreational firing, but for top accuracy, the more rigid the better. Forward and rearward motion may be stabilized better than under-folder and side-folder motion in my experience.īe certain you consider all options and choose well. This is the most accurate rifle I have owned in this caliber. As an example, the Advantage Tactical Stock I have mounted to the Ruger 10/22 rifle offers not only a wide range of adjustment, no matter at what point it is adjusted, it is also rock solid. If you are a shooter and enjoy shooting for accuracy, a fixed stock is never a bad choice on an AK rifle.Ī telescoping rifle stock, however, can be a very solid and accurate choice. There is also a difference between cheek weld with iron sights and with optics. Good stocks lock up tight, while poorly made stocks will wobble. The primary consideration with any stock, is that the stock, when extended, puts the angle of the stock in line with the rifle’s sights and the bore line. A side folder or underfolder limits how you may carry the rifle. However, the side folder trunnion will dig into your back when you carry the rifle slung over your shoulder. In this type of action, a good quality folding sock is a good choice, and the side-folder AK is good. Some folks like to keep the rifle on their ATV or even a dirt bike, depending on how the hunting trail is found. This arsenal AK features a well-designed under-folding stock. Generally, the stock doesn’t have much effect on the function of the rifle, although I imagine a cheap stock that has too much give may not provide a solid platform for the rifle to recoil against. You will find the plungers and locks horribly slow and the cheek weld problem is always present. If carrying the rifle for a tactical reason or if facing danger, the stock should be locked in place. The primary reason to use a folding-stock rifle is the same across the board for all of the folding stocks - storage. The mortis and tenon lockup are solid in the Arsenal-type rifles. The side folder with its plunger mechanism is a little more difficult to use quickly, but works as well as the underfolder for most uses.Ĭheek weld is difficult enough with standard AK rifle sights and the folding stocks may make the problem worse in my opinion, based on a lot of shooting experience. The advantage of the underfolder is that it fits a tactical bag easily and may be fired with the stock folded at close range. The Arsenal underfolder is fairly stable, however, getting a cheek weld is very difficult. The underfolder stock is a neat trick, but not the best all-around for accuracy potential. They are not very study, although the original GI M1 Carbine wasn’t a bad setup. AK-type rifles may be fitted with an underfolder stock.Ī collapsible wire stock was once common on M1 Carbines and submachine guns. Then there are other rifles that may take stocks that that cannot possibly work with the AR-15 buffer assembly. A quality telescoping stock is ideal for use with an AR-15 rifle. The modern telescoping stock - in good examples - is rigid when locked and offers good shot to shot consistency. The telescoping stock also makes it easier to transport or store the rifle, although this isn’t my top consideration. The collapsible stock is often called a telescoping stock. ![]() This is useful if you are wearing a vest or heavy clothing in the winter for example, and it is a good option for a rifle when the shooter may be short or tall, or have long or short arms.Īn adjustable stock may have the normal type of length of pull adjustment and also add a cheek riser. A collapsible stock can be adjusted for the length of pull. The bottom line on the fixed non-adjustable stock is that they are rugged.
