So, anyone (you sig owners mostly) have any ideas where to find a 1913 stock in Canada? I'm too leery of Brownells recent CBSA messes to trust ordering one of the very lovely stocks off there.

Seems like there's lots of small shops stateside making folding and fixed stocks using this pattern.

But the only Canadian one I can find so far is Grey Birch Solutions. Don't think they're a sponsor so I shan't link them.

What else is out there for a lightweight stock attaching using the 1913 picatinny setup?

Grey Birch is a sponsor here.

I recently bought the LDR Fusion with that stock and quite like it. Can't really picture the sight setup that would require the cheek piece needing to be raised but maybe on a different chassis or action.
The folding option is nice to have but I haven't really tried it. It's rock solid if you put it in the non-folding configuration.

What do we even have in Canada that accepts these?

For WKs and MCRs that have a swappable rear butt stock component (newest MCRs have a single solid lower, with no detachable butt stock piece, see Wolverine Supplies YouTube channel for more info) can use the 1913 adapter that comes with Xtreme's 1913 stock; they sell it separately if you have a 1913 stock or want to get one other then theirs.-> https://store.xtremegunshootingcenter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_235&products_id=1503#.YW-v5RrMJPY

The SBI Lynx replacement lower for the WK and MCR has a swappable rear mount for different kinds of stock. By default it comes with a buffer tube socket, and next will be released a Zhukov folding stock rear mount, but in production and to be released soon a 1913 mount will soon be available. -> https://spectreballistics.com/search?controller=search&s=1913

You could also use a buffer tube socket to 1913 adapter for the straight pull SBI Light Practical Carbine and Jard J180, since neither use a buffer tube spring. This will not work with an MRA Renegade, since that one uses the buffer tube as a spring assist.

The entire purpose for myself is avoiding an AR buffer tube and the usually ham fisted adapter that comes with it. Save weight and bulk, purpose enough for me anyway.

Meh - a fixed stock is a fixed stock. I want my rifles as compact and easily transported as possible. Being in a wheelchair probably adds emphasis to my desire for max convenience. Long, awkward objects are a real PITA to deal with....
 
If you are on the fence about Brownells, I'd suggest going through one of the importers. You could also look at Dan Haga's offerings. Lots of 1913 type stocks. Haga Defense regularly ships stuff through IRG without too much of a headache.
 
I opted to spend the big-bucks on locally made, and bought a Foundation from Grey Birch Solutions. Very curious to try it out. Now I'm just waiting for the adapter and stock to arrive later in the month.
 
Brownells is having a sale on the Midwest Industries Side-Folding Extruded Buttstock. I ordered one up despite some hesitation that CBSA in their infinite overzealousness might try to seize something that is actually incompatible with the AR15 design - something that an amateur with basic knowledge ought to realize at first glance. We shall see. For the money ($160 USD plus shipping) I thought it worth the risk of a knock-down, drag-out scrap with the self-important minions of the CBSA bureaucracy!

Good luck! Those are the exact ones that had me drooling, but ultimately scared me off. Good slim design, QD slots in the right place, no other fuss.

I made sure that the official Brownell's description made no mention of AR15s or Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) nor anything else so horrible as to provoke a snowflake meltdown. The description (which will appear in the Customs documentation) is simply "Side-Folding Fixed Extruded Stock". That could mean anything and everything. What it doesn't mean or even remotely imply, is that this stock is an AR15 accessory, because it is not. It's very design precludes use with the ubiquitous MSR direct-impingement operating system. It can be readily adapted to any firearm featuring the forward-thinking Picatinny Buttstock Interface however - making it an ideal choice for the forthcoming R18 Mk2 if one does not particularly care for the look of the Zhukov folder.

JR Cox of The Shooting Edge has already begun stocking Midwest Industries' Picatinny Buttstock Adapters and Folding Stock Hinges in preparation for the R18 Mk2 launch. It therefore stands to reason that it may be a simple matter to have JR also acquire that particular Buttstock assembly for resale.

s a potentially intersting aside for some of you, I have just received a Midwest Industries Folding Picatinny Buttstock Interface from TSE for $150 CAD (plus shipping). The unit itself is very nicely machined out of steel stock, resulting in an extremely strong hinge and locking system. The unit folds reasonably easy and locks up rock-solid like a bank vault door.

I will be installing the Folding Adapter on my Test R18 when I receive it back from JR Cox with the extra power Operating Springs installed. For now, I have it mounted on my house-bound SIG MCX Lightweight Carbine so that I can check it out.

That looks like a solid piece of kit. The 1913 stock attachment method truly is "forward thinking".
