Midwest Industries AK Alpha Series Folding Stock - Tactical Upgrade for AK Rifles
Midwest Industries
The Midwest Industries Alpha Series Folding Picatinny Stock is a purpose-built stock for shooters who need modularity without sacrificing strength. Whether you're running a short-barreled rifle in tight spaces, stowing your gun in a vehicle, or building a compact platform, this folding stock collapses to just 0.75 inches—a genuine game-changer for space-constrained shooters. The rigid 4140 heat-treated steel side-folding mechanism locks securely in both deployed and folded positions, giving you a stock that folds when you need it and holds firm when you're behind the gun.
Built entirely in the USA, the Alpha combines polymer, aluminum, and steel in a design that takes the rigors of tactical and hunting use. The five-position locking beam with a textured button lets you dial in length of pull without tools, while the curved, adjustable cheek piece works across different shooter profiles and sight heights. An adjustable butt pad accommodates plate carriers and heavy gear—critical if you're running body armor or load-bearing equipment. The stock adds 8 inches to your rifle's overall length when deployed and weighs just 5 ounces, so you're not sacrificing handling or adding bulk to your platform.
Practical features abound: three QD sling attachment points let you set up your preferred carry method, and the design is configurable for either right- or left-folding operation depending on your build. The full-length locking lug and steel clamp with broad surface engagement ensure maximum stability when locked. If you're interested in arm brace configuration with a Gear Head Works Tailhook, the Alpha is compatible—though you'll want to source the cosmetic arm brace plug separately to keep the back beam smooth. Comes with a lifetime warranty and is 100% domestic-made.
