View QuoteI agree with you that using the word "fake" leaves something to be desired and is not wholly accurate. Some law enforcement agencies placed orders that specified swivels on the bottom and other special order government guns with straight birch stocks were delivered with the sling mount on the side. From the research I've done, it seems not all folders came from the factory with the swivel on the side. ![]() You will see 3 different styles of gas blocks on folders and they are all "correct". I just saw a GB folder with a bottom mount sling sell on Gunbroker for over $2200.00. Just because the rifle didn't come from Ruger as a folder doesn't necessarily make it a "fake". ![]() Marcus, I would say if the gun is in nice shape and the price is right, go for it. No matter what, the AAC 556 owners seemed to have driven the price of the stock alone to over $800.00. Of course, the original box and paperwork will add value. In other words, I am not seeing that folders that are "certified by Ruger" selling for more money. The point I am trying to make is that seeing these guns sell on gun broker and at the gun shows, there is really a very small amount of collectors that check if the gun shipped from the factory as a folder or even care. The rifle is beautiful and "correct." I used to worry about this as well. The stainless GB folder you turned down awhile ago and I bought left Ruger in 1983 with a birch stock and side sling gas block and was later re-stocked in a folder.
