Folding stock rifles

[Moonclip]

I don't recall owning one ever but the shotguns so equiped can be painful to shoot.  I want one for a 10/22 for fun and so I can stow it easier.

Anyone have them on other rifles?  Is there a preference for side or underfoding ones?  I assume collapsible ones are the best? 

On a M1a I bet they are painful and akward to shoot.

Folders in my opinions are clumsy - some you really can't shoot unless the stock is in the open position -

My son has a 10/22 with a folder. it is fun. He has a Keltec also with that under folder. The underfolder is only allowed on that rifle because you cant shoot it like that.

I agree, shotguns would probably be too painful with only a pistol grip. I don't relly care for the AK's like that. There must be a reason though. Possibly if full auto from the hip it is easier?

Yeah pg only shotguns also generally suck, my dad has a .410 Mossberg like that and it is ok to shoot.

I also have such a KelTec SU16,too bad we can't have the real folding stock version in CA.

Also yes some of them are poorly designed, IIRC on the Daewoo rifle so equiped, the magazine release is blocked when the stick is folded.

I think the main good thing they have going for them is compact storage in places like a briefcase, motorcycle, ect.  Stock should be extended for any serious shooting of course.
