First let me say, this product is discontinued by the manufacturer for good reason. Now, lets talk about the installation instructions, they are among the WORST I've ever seen. The instructions refer to numbered illustrations, however there are no numbered illustrations. To further add to the frustration, the illustrations are not in the same order as the instructions. It looks like somebody dropped a picture wherever they saw room.

Now let's talk about the parts. The folding stock is extremely flimsy. It wobbles in both the folded and extended positions. The wobble in extended position is 2 to 3 inches.

The forend is also a piece of junk, it also looks NOTHING like the illustrations in the instructions! The instructions talk about a one piece forend, but you will find four pieces in the box (three of which you use), this is NOT covered in the instructions. All four forend pieces also have ribs across the top, which are leftovers from the casting process. These rubs must be broken off before you can use it. Once again, this is not covered at all in the instructions. Even after breaking off the ribs, there are still ribs on the inside of the forend that cause binding. I spent several HOURS with a rotary tool grinding down the ribs until I could reliably operate the weapon. This is especially true if you decide to install ATI's heat shield.

Aside from lousy instructions, flimsy parts and having to modify parts to make it work, this is a great product.... Right up there with hemorrhoids and athlete's foot.

When the stock is extended it is not as stable as a fixed stock. It will
move around.
