has anyone some experience with a folding stock of the trademark
'combatstocks'?(ww w.combatstocks.com)
the start around $ 40.
are the junk or usable?
I plan on rigging a 20 GA to carry when doing surveys in the bush.

i've found that all folding stocks have only two purposes- to allow the firearm to fit in tight quarters- or firing from the hip- your fixed stock is always quicker to deploy as there's no button to push, nothing to swing , and then mount- the fixed mounts right away- and they can be brutal on recoil as there's only a steel rod and possibly a recoil pad between you and the gun
at 40 bucks i call junk-all of mine were at least double that- unless it's a 22 - and i have 3- one on a winny 12 defender,( choate) a 10/22( butler creek) and a m14( beretta folder- the one springfield copied for the m1a1a bush rifle)- i got the 22 with the gun, the 12 guage was 80 at the time-'83- and the beretta was about 200

I went to the site, the $49 folding stock is an ATI stock and not thought to be as strong as Choate or Butler Creek stocks. The prices indicate it may be an American company,but nowhere could I find an address so how would you contact them if they don't answer your emails if there is a problem. Also if it does come from the U.S., there maybe a higher shipping rate and possibly Canada customs duty. Wholesalesports.com, sirmailorder.com ,russellsports.com, and some of the sponsors at the top of the page handle Butler Creek folding stocks, which are a reasonable stock. You didn't say what make of shotgun you have, but a 12gauge stock for a Remington 870 can be made to fit a 20 gauge with some minor filing on the stock, and the stock will be a couple of thou wider than than the factory stock. The 20 gauge usually has a narrower frame than the 12 gauge(depending on brand) but the length and height of the frame are usually very close to the same.
 
my original post (with the hot link) cost me one infraction point.
anyway, it will be on a mossberg.
