Best Folding Stock Chassis

[Sagittarius]

Which chassis with a folding stock is the best in everyone's opinion?
Which ones have the best construction with mechanisms that compensate for wear?
Appreciate your thoughts and advice, thanks.

Following. I have the same question as I decide my next buildout.

my MPA works well. Locks up tight and haven't had any problems with it

The KRG Whiskey 3 chassis is BY FAR the best folding system I've used, to date. It uses a dual hinge system and locks in both open and closed. By spreading the load/wear over 2 hinges it reduces the likelihood of misalignment due to wear in the mechanisms. While the MDT and SB Tactical system locked up tight, I prefer the KRG system a touch more. I still own the SB Tactical folder because of its design (locked open/ closed) Although, with as many quality companies putting out quality parts I wouldn't be afraid to use any products from well known manufacturers. I can offer 1 pice of advice.... AVOID CHINESE-MADE FOLDING MECHANISMS. They use substandard materials and specs... I purchased 1 to test myself and it was terrible.

I love the XLR folder adapter . If your thinking about a hunting / match setup , I honestly think nothing beat the XLR element magnesium with a folder stock.

Thanks for the replies so far, guys.
Does anyone have any experience or opinion on the Cadex Defense folding chassis or JP Enterprise APAC chassis?

Yep - what he said ^ KRG Whiskey 3 = A+

not a uber lightweight option but a full chassis is approaching weight of what Manners folders are. I willing be using the XLR carbon chassis with folder adapter for the coming months for a review later in the year after I get some more time behind it. After using a XLR element all last summer/fall I am pretty sold on the folding stock for my long (24"+) barreled rifles.

While 3.6 pounds isn't exactly light, even putting a 27" barreled rifle with Sendero contour still comes in at around 8.75 pounds for the rifle.

I have XLR Envy Pro and Cadex Lite Competition..... between these two it's Cadex all the way

The jp folder is legit solid. That thing locks up very tight. They incorporated magnets on the side of the chassis to "catch" the stock when it's folded.

I have an MDT LSS XL gen2 chassis with a folder adapter also from MDT, and a XLR TR-2 as the carbine butt stock. Set up is sweet however I am not a fan of the folder. Every single time I shoot the retaining nut for the folding adapter becomes ever so loose creating the tiniest but most annoying amount of play with the butt stock. Aka no go. Keep in mind this is a .300 Weatherby magnum but with a mean directional brake. After today I’m done with the adapter. I like folders but this one clearly can’t cut it not sure what else to do but remove it entirely.

Another KRG w3 fan here. The MPA and XLR versions I played with were plenty solid and dependable, but the added LOP screwed me. The folder is a must for me hunting with a 24" tube and 7" suppressor on the end

Cadex and AI are the best folders I've used

KRG.

McRee are the ones proven in combat by SF units. All my centerfire bolt guns are in McRee G10 folding chassis.

Agreed. Played with a few in the wild. Thoroughly impressed with it. Got one on order for my current project.
