Yours appears to be the SL-K? which works on a standard carbine receicpver extension?Originally Posted by HeavyDuty
Then there's a shorter SL-M that requires a dedicated shorter receiver extension (and presumably buffer and spring?)?
anyone know if the M will work on a folder?
I have a spare “ultralight” SBR that wouldn't be so light with all this junk in the trunk but might be useful if it were compactable…
SL-K VS SL-M

Said “spare” (perhaps posted earlier in the thread) with what I'm pretty sure is an unfired BCM upper which was “new” about the time keymod (Betamax) was cool for all of 5 minutes before Mlok (vhs) killed it.

Yes, mine is a SL-K. I wasn’t even aware of the SL-M! I probably would have used it on my AR9 SBR last year, I ended up with a LWRCI UCIW stock/RE and a 9mm optimized HeavyBuffer which is fine. I don’t think I would use it on the SBR I pictured, I’d always be running it out a few positions and it wouldn’t save space folded. I could see a SL-M on a LAW if someone was looking for a shorter base LOP.Yours appears to be the SL-K? which works on a standard carbine receicpver extension?

SL-K VS SL-M
I don’t see any reason a LAW folder wouldn’t work with a PDW length RE. You would need to take the weight of the LAW bolt carrier extension into account when selecting a buffer, but that’s a nice thing.

That's actually a really good point.
The M might not actually achieve anything once you're folding it to the side anyway. And would be less optimal when deployed.

As a data point, Mr. Tape Measure says the back of receiver to buttplate measurement (not LOP) of a fully collapsed SL-K on a LAW folder is 8 11/16”. That’s with the stock SL-K buttpad. It’s just about perfect for me, I usually run an AR one or two clicks out.

You mentioned the Sully Stocks. Before I retired we hosted Sully at least every other year for an armorers course. Along the way we picked up several of his rifles. The last ones I got were his 'Commanders' (dissipator) and I spec'ed them with Sully entry stocks which are 8 inches long. I found them too short on a fixed extension even with a vest on. I have a feeling they would be about right on a LAW equipped rifle.

According to a picture I found, the RRA Entry Stock is 7 11/32 / 7.0343 long. A Magpul SL is 7.2 inches long which is .166 longer than the RRA stock. Collapsed LOP for the SL is 10.8 so the LOP for the RRA ought to be around 10.634 (10.6)
The LAW folder adds 1.3 inches to the LOP so collapsed LOP with the RRA would be 11.9; collapsed LOP with the SL would be 12.1; with the SL-K it is 11.6; with the SL-M it would be 10.7.
The negative to the RRA is that it is a fixed stock whereas, of course, the others are all adjustable. Here is a comparison of the various SL stocks data:
For comparison, I measured an SL in the same manner on a regular (non-LAW) extension and got 8". That particular rifle is my HD SBR and I removed the LAW folder because with the suppressor attached it didn't position the way I wanted in the bedroom gun safe. I think I may put the LAW back on and try an SL-M, that would put my saddlebag SBR back into play, although IDK why I need to be riding with an SBR on my Street Glide.
Adding nothing to the conversation since 2015....
I still have one of his stripped lowers
Never could decide what to turn it into.

I like it. I have an early lightweight BCM keymod rail (before they changed them) and it is nice. I remember Defoor said he is agnostic about keymod vs mlok……. Mlok probably more secure mounting. That said if you want to sell it……😀
