Arsenal’s Side-Folding Tactical Stock Is Worth a Look

July 28, 2025 by Ara Leave a Comment

Arsenal’s Anodized Aluminum Side-Folding Tactical Stock is definitely worth a look.

Initially manufactured for the military, you can now purchase one at http://k-var.com for an affordable $239.99.

What is a Gun Stock?

A stock is a part of the rifle the shooter holds and braces against their shoulder when firing. It provides structural support, comfort, and helps absorb recoil.

Put simply, the stock provides stability for the shooter, allowing for aim optimization.

What’s so unique about Arsenal’s Milled Side Folder? 

Arsenal’s Milled Side-Folder: Etymology

Arsenal’s CNC-machined, hard-anodized aluminum side-folding stock is a replacement for the standard steel tubular side-folding stocks.

Thanks to its sleek, functional design, this side-folder provides improved ergonomics and functionality for the shooter.

Its attention to detail and in-house manufacturing of its parts make it built to last. You’re getting comfort and performance rolled into one.

Robust construction meets classic AK aesthetics.

CNC machined = Computer Numerical Control

CNC is a manufacturing process in which a computer controls machine tools used to precisely cut, shape, or drill materials.

Its advantage: extreme precision and repeatability – every piece made is identical to the last. This is the definition of quality control.

Furthermore, CNC machining facilitates strength. Parts are made of solid material, not merely molded or cast. The benefits of CNC include precision, strength, and consistency.

Arsenal’s Side-Folder: Machined In-House

As mentioned, all parts are machined in-house down to the rivets to ensure a flush fit. 

Side-Folder
Arsenal’s Side Folding Tactical Stock is now available to the public.

The buttplate is cut streamlined, an innovation to help avoid equipment snags. Expect a seamless cheek weld thanks to the ergonomics, and your eye aligns with the rear sight with ease.

A sleek, comfortable stock is necessary to instill control and the proper aim when firing your weapon. Arsenal’s Side Folder checks the boxes. Its attention to detail has produced a high-quality stock with tight tolerances that’s built to last. 

Advantages of a Side-Folding Stock

A side-folding stock has numerous advantages, the most notable being compactability.

The more compact a rifle, the easier it is for the shooter to maneuver through tight quarters. This is invaluable in real-world, high-stakes scenarios such as close-quarters warfare.

Compactability allows for quicker transitions and less snagging on gear or obstacles.

The name of the game is to drastically reduce the rifle’s overall length, making it easier to transport, store in smaller cases, and maneuver in confined spaces.

For law enforcement, this is desirable since a folded stock is easier to maneuver when getting in and out of patrol cars or armored vehicles.

Some cite folding stocks as uncomfortable. Arsenal’s design avoids this pitfall with its intelligent ergonomic design.

The Verdict: Ergonomics meets Functionality

Arsenal’s Anodized Aluminum Side-Folding Tactical Stock is a winner.

The fact that everything was machined in-house speaks volumes to its quality, right down to the flush-fitting rivets.

From its four non-rotating QD Points, each timed to prevent your sling from tangling, to its ergonomic groove on the cheek weld, no detail was missed by Arsenal when creating this side-folder.

Easy to shoulder, easy to install, and now available to the public!

Ergonomics: aims to prevent discomfort, pain, and fatigue.
Anodized Aluminum: undergone an electrochemical process creating a protective layer of aluminum oxide, making it resistant to chipping, flaking, or peeling.
