BUT i promise you if you get hands on it in the configuration that @Mintie has shown , you will not want a longer barrel.

LIGHT


Besides , why would you want it with a folding stock anyway…. The tactical factor? Lol

Go to sika show this weekend and handle it. It will give you a semi….

Two reasons to want a folding stock:1 If the stock blocks the trigger when folded it cant be fired, avoiding the rifle / pistol issue. 2 No tools needed to assemble and faster to action

Yeah but if it's a short barrel like in the pics why would you need a heavier folding stock which will still be much the same length folded as a short barrel solid stock?
I guess the obvious answer is to retain barrel length but in my mind this is designed as a short , super light bush gun, not a long ranger.
I'd be going short barrel , 12" or so grendel myself.
Still reach out 250 mtrs for reds.
What more do you need for a bush pig?

well if it can be assembled in 40 seconds NOW.... ummmm how much quicker would a fella want...heck it would nearly take me that long to put together a break open in 3 pieces and Ive been doing that for 43 years so could do it blindfolded with one arm in my sleep....
