DETAILS

Get more adaptability for storage, transport and buttstock choice. The MDT universal adapters are compatible with most bolt-action chassis rifles that have an AR-style interface.

The folding stock adapter adds 1.75" to your length of pull.

Available in 1-way or a 2-way locking configuration. The 1-way lock maintains solid, straight-line integrity when shooting while the 2-way lock provides the additional function of holding the stock securely in the folded position.

Models for a variety of chassis and buttstock interface combinations:

  • Fixed to Fixed
  • Carbine to Carbine
  • Fixed to Carbine
  • Carbine to Fixed

COMPATIBILITY

This adapter has a solid interface and will not allow a bolt to pass through - please check your rifle configuration for compatibility. Is not compatible with our TAC21 chassis or our ESS or ACC chassis, although the ESS and ACC have their own Folding Buttstock available here.

Carbine / Fixed Interfaces

MDT has been using the terms “Fixed” and “Carbine” to describe the interface between the chassis system and the buttstock. Our “Fixed” chassis systems are recognizable by their “tear drop” shaped stock interface while our “Carbine” chassis systems are characterized by their “circular” shaped stock interface.

So when it comes to choosing the right adapter the choice will primarily be dictated by the shape of your chassis interface and the type of buttstock you have. However a variety of combinations are possible with the use of the folding stock adapter - allowing you to change your old buttstock to new buttstock with a different interface.

You wanted the Best, You got the Best. MDT

I have purchased several 2 way locking folding stock adaptors for shotgun builds.

There is no other adaptor I would trust or use.

It would be great if MDT added a Picatinny to Carbine interface to complete the line up of adaptors.

Great adapter

Locks up solid in the open position but in the closed position it has some play. Doesn't rattle or feel janky, it's very smooth and slick. Only consideration to make is the extra LOP from adding this means you'll have to change your scope position because the LOP is noticeably longer. Best part of this is that it fits in my smaller 2 gun case with my 22 so I can carry both out for gopher shoots.

It does exactly what it states it does and is also very solidly built. The only downside is it lengthens the LOP so much that I’m not sure if it is usable. Still need to go test it to decide if I will return it or not.

Non-Functional Folding Stock Adapter

Ordered the "Fixed to Fixed" model for a new build. When I went to install the part, it was stuck in the folded position. Release button was not functional. It was like it was seized up. Not sure how a part like this leaves the factory completely not functional. I guess I just expected more from MDT. Not able to complete the build now. . . In a holding pattern until the defective part is received by them so that they can then send me another. Hopefully the replacement works!

It is a great solid

It is a great solid piece, and if you like a little longer length of pull (like me) works well. I purchased the SRS short butt stock and like it also but the combination leaves me with no LOP adjustment.

Great folding stock adapter. Requires a thin stock. If the stock is too wide, the adapter won’t lock in the folded position.

The GOAT

The MDT folding stock adapter is the best on the market period.

If you don't have one on your build you're missing out on the best accessory your firearm could have.

The only thing I can add to make it even better is a "Picatinny to misc interface adapter" would be a great addition to the line up.

Folding Stock Adapter - 2-way locking Carbine to Carbine

Like many other folks around, I too found the adapter to be extremely stiff initially after installing it. I was a bit concerned for the first few hours, but once I cleaned with alcohol first (the ball plunger within the hinge), then oiled and greased every moving part and contact surface, then everything started moving much better. I'll say at least for the one I received, it seems to be packaged in a relatively "dry" state and not well greased when it left the factory. That said, once greased and exercised for a while (e. g. , worked back/forth and locked closed/locked open), the performance has improved considerably. However, yes, this is a stiff adapter, but it also has zero play/slop. The trade-off is worth it for how I wanted it to perform.
I'll note that when I mentioned grease/oil I was using a combination of: Lucas Oil Semi-Synthetic Assembly Lube, Mil-Comm TW25B Lubricant, and Hoppe's 9 Lubricating Oil.

Thank you for taking the time to post your thoughtful review.

Folding stock adapter

The folding stock adapter is very well made, the lock up is tight without play, The only regret is that I didn’t purchase the lock in the folded position option, however, you can always apply a work around for your particular application. I would have rated this as 5 stars but nothing in life is perfect so 4 stars is as close to perfect as one gets in life.

When MDT started I was in early on their LSS chassis for my riffle, and still use it to this day, all covered in paint and tape residue, riffles are a tool to be used, and not to “parade down the runway” all Gucci, but that’s just my opinion however worthless it may be.

Never forget the little “guy” who help pave the way for your success MDT. I look forward to all the new innovations and great videos, especially your April Fools videos, I believe EVERYTHING you say……. Well not really ;)

Good job MDT

That's about the best 4(5) star review one could ask for. Thanks! :)

Very nice but 1 major problem

This is very well made and having a folding stock is awesome, however… the additional 1.75” makes the length of pull excessively long even for a 6”4” tall person like me. I see MDT has a shorter length of pull skeleton stock but they also need to sell a shorter buffer tube to make their carbine stocks more compatible with the folding stock adapter.

Thank you for the time and effort in your review. If you would like us to design something with t...

It was very stiff atfirst but now works flawlessly. Way cheaper than having to buy another range bag. Will definitely buy again if I need one.

Works like it should

The folding stock adapter works as it is advertised. It’s beefy and strong, but fold super smooth. It added an extra length in the pull so take that into consideration before you purchase.

You need this!

This is one of those accessories you absolutely need. It makes swinging the stock out of the way easy. This allows you to pull the bolt and clean the rifle without having to adjust the cheek rest on the stock. The lockup on this is rock solid with no wobble. This is a 10/10 must have accessory for a competition or tactical rifle. And, MDT makes a shorter stock to accommodate the addition length of pull.

5 star product did not work in my weapon.

Excellent product amazing machining perfect when locked open and folded.
Sorry for my luck it did not match up with my weapon. It is a remington cp.
But it they ever build one for it I will by it in a heartbeat.

This thing is a must

This thing is a must have! If you backpack your rifle at all you need this. It folds easy and locks in both directions which I also say is a must. it does add some length to the total overall length. Keep that in mine when setting you eye relief.

As with all MDT components, the stock folder attachment is SUPERB! Easy to install, well finished, tight lock up... everything one could want in a folding stock adapter.

It’s actually 5 stars! This how to get attention

No instructions in the box. This is because so many different kinds of attachments, chassis, and stocks. You cannot fold adapter by hand it has to be installed to fold. This is so that it’s nice and tight. Finally you have to be good at puzzles. It took me about 15 min to install and looks awesome. I bought fixed to fixed. The extra parts was hard to install as I did not know how to get into my chassis. I even thought that I needed to take material off the adapter or even the extra parts. But instead I used the supplied screw and screwed into the threaded circle piece that goes into chassis. I screwed into chassis then I backed out and removed the screw. This is how it has to be done. There is no tool provided to screw down this circle threaded piece. This adapter saved me $$$$. Some chassis difference between folding and not folding cost a lot. I bought a chassis that was not folding and with this adapter I can now fold and I saved $$$$.

Thank you so much for the review and feedback. Yes, you need to install the folder before trying ...
