The chemical bonding process is nearly equal in value to the strong nuclear bonding force inside an atomic nucleus.

*snicker* Sorry, I couldn't read that without laughing.

We should be able to buy the stock separately. Hopefully....

[QUOTE=ccwcanada;6672001]Yah it would be nice looking.

There is a user-review on it at xcrforum.com

http://xcrforum.com/index.php/topic,12633.0.html

and the guy says he'd rate it at about a B-. He says that in the folded configuration the fire-controls are too difficult to access.

I personally don't know why the heck you'd want a folding stock in the first place, or to shoot it like that - so you can look cool spraying from the hip? I don't know, give me a fixed stock any day over a folding one that can f-up on ya.

I like a folding stock ,as my cz-858 has one and it fits nicely in my quad box.Also when out hiking its a nice option also when the going gets tight.my 2 cents?

Have to agree, other than storage or hiking what good is a folding stock?.... Wait for it... Riddle solved...
It might just be that the folding stock was built for just those two reasons. Hollywood likes to shoot from the hip, sideways & around objects. If your some kind of 'operator', I doubt you are going to choose an XCR.... I Think this going to be a very nice non restricted hunting rifle in the Canadian market, just as the XCR is...

I like a folding stock when practical for storage or packing, exactly as you say.

The ability to fire folded is necessary to me solely because I don't like the idea of being able to get to my gun but not to use it instantly if necessary because of a poorly designed stock. It's not a specific application, but an emergency use.

Ok, I went & look briefly at the link DIRTBIKEMIKE attached to his post. It appears that this guy's main b!tch is the mag release with the stock folded. So this probably won't interfere with the scenario you mention.
Judging by that stock I would say that R.A. was thinking more packing than shooting folded. At any rate, I'm sure someone will be coming out with a whole gamut of improvements to fancy everyone's wants...
Me? I'd prefer a fixed stock, with a correct length of pull (adjustable) on a single point sling.

They even made a longer gas system for us! That fine tuning should shoot smoother. Looks good to me.
