What's the best buffer tube adapter that folds (for a non-folder)...?
If you have the fixed tube stock, you're gonna need the rear plate adapter that gets held in place by the pistol grip bolt. Then you have the options of getting the folding adapter that also converts to M4 at the same time, or getting a separate folding adapter, and the M4 "pignose"
I got the adapter plate (fixed tube stock versions of the vepr need this regardless) and the ace folding adapder that had the full M4 style on the back.
Now most of the places that sell these adapters oddly don't sell the m4 backplate which the ace adapter allows you to use the M4 backplate which forces the buffer tube to stay centered and does not allow it to rotate off center. (if you're familiar with the AR-15/M4 platform, then you will know exactly what I'm talking about)
The "pig nose" adapter does not have this feature and you have to try and center the buffer tube yourself and keep it centered while tightening the castle nut which is a PITA without that m4 backplate.
But my other issue is I would rather have a push button folder than the push the stock down and fold like the ace has. since when it's lubed up, it doesn't tend to stay folded very well..
So either way you are getting something that isn't as desirable in my opinion anyway.
I would love to see the ace adapter with a push button lock for the folding mechanism. Also think CSS should carry/sell M4 backplates for the ace adapter, or include a m4 backplate with the folding adapter. M4 backplates can be purchased for like $5 or less from most any place that sells/carries AR-15 parts.
Here's mine with the fixed tube stock adapter, ace folder, and m4 backplate on it.
Just to give you an idea of what they look like with 2 adapters and a backplate on them.
