F5 folding stock - PSA JAKL

[Eastwood]

Has anyone tried the F5 folding stock on the PSA JAKL? If anyone has one in the middle Ga area I would love to see/feel it in person if possible. I like the look of it a lot but I’m finding a lot of mixed reviews on the functionality. Some say it looks/feels cheap. Others say it locks up solid and have no issues. I already know F5 customer service is basically non existent. I wouldn’t buy one from them, just considering getting the stock on a lower combo from PSA. Looking for some honest opinions. If you’re not familiar, here’s what I’m referring to:

They’re right. It feels and looks cheap. I ended up buying the skeleton Sig style folding stock for mine. If I recall, PSA is building their own stock to that above that will improve over that design. I’d hold out and use a different 1913 stock in the interim.

Good to know! I was thinking about snagging one

It’s definitely got the SCAR cool look but functionally it feels like Fisher Price made it.
This is my set up as of now.

Guess I'll wait till PSA improves it

I have not seen too many good reviews of any f5 products. Can't speak to this stock exactly, but they have quality problems across the board, including a very similar stock for guns like the stribog.

How do you like the Jakl?

How do you like the Jakl?

I like it quite a bit. Very accurate, tool-less adjustable gas block, etc. But, I actually prefer my BRN-180. it's a little bit lighter in the weight department.

Thanks for the feedback. My gut has been saying to avoid the F5 stock too. I am trying to be patient and wait for the PSA stock to release. I have heard Q4 of this year is when it should be available. But knowing how PSA operates, I’m sure it will only be available on a complete rifle at first, then they will offer it on a lower package, then finally offer it stand alone.

And yes, I agree the JAKL is quite heavy.
