The Midwest Industries Side-Folding Buttstock (brand part number MI-STAP-SF-LWS) pairs a heavy-duty 4140 steel folding mechanism with a lightweight, skeletonized modular body for shooters who need a compact stowed profile without sacrificing lockup strength. A full-length locking lug and steel clamp with a large surface engagement area deliver solid, positive lockup in both the open and folded positions, and the mechanism can be configured to fold to either side. It ships complete with Midwest Industries’ aluminum minimalistic butt plate and mag-phosphate-finished steel parts for corrosion resistance.
