Holy cow that's crazy looking! It's like cutting up a picasso.

Makes sense to me, how else are you supposed to clear a room without replacing that butt stock with a folder. I mean, a guy has to upgrade to keep up with all the tacticool gadgets, right? This is just evidence that the tactical magazines are now making their way abroad creating demand in an ever expanding market.

Holy crap.

It has long been held that a folding stock will allow for hip firing, for which bolt action rifles with 5 round internal magazines are ideally suited to.


My guess is that rifle has been around since WWII (wasn't part of Rommel's war in the desert of N Africa in what is now Lybia?). The rest of the stock looks pretty banged up, so looks like the folder or metal stock was a necessity.

The Germans actually had a folding stock K98. Very rare though, kinda like the bakelite stock.

The K98 folders are suppose to look a bit more like this

...I'm confused, shouldn't there be a quad-rail on that thing? Where's his pistol grip? Where's his Eotech? Where's the Tango Down grip?
