I gotta disagree, I like my side folder very much. To me it is a perfect LOP and easy to close "with a mag still in the receiver"!!! I just dislike how cold it gets using it in the winter, but then again all metal stocks are cold unless you wrap paracord around them

My 7.5" is great with the side folder and railed dustcover. Possibly my favourite setup with a red dot
yup, underfold works better with 20 rds mag bcos you wouldnt have to remove it to fold .
see the helpful hints sticky , i just added instructions to the sticky from a post i did 4 years ago.
That's where all the underfolders were gone and you can't find any,
because Curtton had to hoard them all in
i bought it several years ago when people were pooh poohing the underfold , it seems nobody wanted them , as you can see some people still dont like them .
i like them so much that i gave them a good home .

i thought i heard it all before but this is a new one . unpredictable ??? for plinking at the range ?
true , dont see them in modern armies but if the butt moving was a real issue then they wouldnt have made gazillions of them so how bad can it really be .
keep an eye on EE .
no company makes them now altho once in awhile a member here would give it a try but we wouldnt hear much after .
a small gunshop in the US tried a few years ago , i sent him some pics but nothing came out of it .
its not a simple as it looks , most think adapting an AK underfold is easy but it isnt , plus there isnt a big market for it so i assuming the cost per unit is pretty high .
one time at the chilliwack gunshow , i held an underfold that was milled so the arm would angle down so the shooter could use the iron sight but unfortunately there was no way of holding it at that position so the entire folder flopped up and down , i almost cried ,lol . someone screwed it up , i wouldnt buy it even for $75 .
I have been a sucker for underfolders for ever since I remember and
this is the first time when I hear that it moves. Do you mean that it is lose?
The AK underfolder (any make) is perhaps the stiffest underfolder out there,
even the ones that have seen a huge amount of service,
when I compared it to any other gun with underfolder (non AK) that I have put my hands on.
Usually, if nobody fukc'd with it, like taking it apart, bubba'd it or whatever,
the underfolder will keep its joints stiff for a very long time.
That, in short, is because it was designed right.
People were complaining that it was too stiff, not too lose.
Yes, I know. I remember that. There were quite a few people complaining about it.i bought it several years ago when people was pooh poohing the underfold , it seems nobody wanted them , as you can see some people still dont like them .

I remember in my very early days on CGN,
when I was so happy because I convinced Dlask to make that short run of them.
I had that in mind since very long before that.
On CGN, member Powerwagon, and maybe others as well, mentioned the idea of
putting that underfolder on VZ (long before I joined the modern CGN),
and now was the first time it took flight.
But as soon as I posted about it, with pictures and everything,
the complaints started almost instantly, by who else than Deckard (of course).
Whaaa, whaaa, it's too high, nyah, nyah, it doesn't clear the magazine,
b!tching and whining and sniveling. That guy always hated me.
And the reason is?
No matter what the modern armies do,
that underfolder, on the AK, is a nostalgic thing to lots of people.
Yes, it has a poor cheek weld (as said in another post, paracord might help).
Yes, it is slow in deployment.
On the other hand, it is very solid/stiff,
and together with few other underfolders/over-the-top-folders,
the absolutely most compact folder ever (in the folded position),
if used on the guns it was designed for.
Dlask made only few of those adaptors, 40-45 pcs, or something like that.
It was only meant like a toy, as I said, more like a nostalgia thing.
There are a ton of folder designs out there,
so people who don't like the underfolder have where to choose from.
