The Midwest Industries Side Folder with Buffer Adapter is a heavy-duty folding stock solution built for AR-15 platforms that demand compact storage or transport without sacrificing solid lockup. This side-folding mechanism lets you configure the folder to fold left or right depending on your shooting hand and setup, making it adaptable to a wide range of AR builds. Whether you're working in tight spaces, fitting your rifle into a vehicle, or simply want the flexibility of a collapsed profile, this folder delivers the kind of rugged, modular design that works across different buffer tube configurations.
Built from 4140 steel with a mag phosphate finish, the Midwest Industries folder uses a full-length locking lug and steel clamp with broad surface engagement to keep things locked solid in both open and folded positions. The modular design accommodates Mil-Spec buffer tube attachments, so you can pair it with the stock setup that fits your needs. At just 8.4 ounces, the weight penalty is minimal, and the dimensional footprint reflects careful engineering: the folder adds 2.5 inches to your rifle length when open and only 0.75 inches when folded—a meaningful gain in packability without sacrificing functionality.
Made 100% in the USA, this side folder carries the kind of finish and precision you'd expect from Midwest Industries. It's the sort of component that works best when paired with quality stocks and buffer systems, so think of it as the foundation for a compact AR build that can still run hard when you need it to.
