I LOVE my FoldAR's. Thanks for the review!
I really don't understand how they aren't more popular. I know many of my team / friends were put off by the price because they didn't know how tight and squared away the guns are till they got hands on with them. Now they get it, but first-time buys can get scared off by the price. My only issues have been the gas rings on both my bolts failed very quickly / at around 1k rounds. After the ring upgrades nothing has shown weakness for years of ownership of my Gen 1's
Maybe they aren't more popular because of the price?
That's great news that's you've had good expereinces, though the gas rings observation is interesting. I think I'll keep testing this one more long term.
This is an awesome firearm. Totally delighted by its action, it's accuracy, how quickly it's ready to fire. The quality and workmanship is top-notch. Couldn't ask for a more quality weapon.
This dude is keeping the channel alive. Best talent you've ever had.
Thanks for the support, we're enjoying the growth.
Peppy is fundamental. lol
I wonder if the new S&W PCC is getting their folding lock mechanism patent from this FoldAR. They practically fold and lock the same way.
"Why do you carry a pistol?"
"Because you can't conceal carry an AR?"
"Guess again mother f-"
Just picked up some aac black tip ammo today (vmax bullet) for 50 cents per round. Psa starting up their aac ammo has been a real benefit to the community. I really like their ammo. They also have pmags on sale for just over $9 each.
Also got a triggertech duty 2 stage from midway for $85. Been a good year for upgrades so far.
Yeah, shooting sub-MOA is not what I expected, but it performs well!
Agree. Been loving aac ammo. Good stuff at good price
This seems like a Great Upper for people who want a backpack carry without having to deal with SBR and Pistol regulations.
I might get one in a few years when I have the cash.
Solid plan!
Would love one wish it wasn't so expensive.
I imagine it wasn't cheap doing the R&D, plus special machining to not only make these guns, but also make them so repeatedly accurate.
Screw you guys; I believe in Tactical Santa
Write him an email with your wishlist--FoldAR at the top! HO HO HO! 🎅
I'd love to see this go head to head with the su16 in terms of weight, speed of deployment, and accuracy.
Which KelTec SU-16 do you have?
The 16" Foldar Mobetta is 6.8 lb, SU-16 is 4.75 lb (depends on the model. The CA model is about 5 lb)
I have these in pistol configurations. Add the dead foot arms double fold accessory and they get down to 1911 size.
Glad to see the FoldAR pop up here, thanks for sharing
It's incredible how short it is... but the price is also incredible ;)
For concealable 5.56 I would rather go with KelTec SU16D9. I know... it's a KelTec, and it will be longer than this one but it will lighter, MUCH cheaper and can fire while folded.
There's a shop I like going to that has a pistol version and watching this is making me think more on it
I test many rifles, but this one really impressed me.
Makes the barrel easier to clean, too.
This is such a great point! Yes, you can absolutely clean the barrel and get those feed ramps too.
Under folding ak is better imo, reason being that you can still shoot it because it's the stick that folds, doesn't have that major weak point and can still mount a red dot
That's a good point. I think my Zastava M70 would be a little longer, but can still shoot when folded.
It’s like the Air Force contract rifle that’s cool
i feel like hed be a nice guy to have a beer with. just an all around nice guy. very nice.
The only other thing I would have asked for was a "COMPLETE" breakdown including removing and re-mounting the optic. as you have to do if you were going to pack it up.
That's fair. I didn't go in this direction because the intended use is pretty clearly for a red dot of some sort--enabling that concealability.
Out of all the folding ARs that have come out over the years I have *never* seen anyone actually buy one and keep it
Nice compact carry for those Who need it❤
Awesome
PSA needs to clone this for cheaper. 1.5k for an upper is just too much
It would be nice if it was Cali compliant.
It is CA compliant if you just install Maglock gen 4 & Kingpin. Or Juggernaut if you don't mind no bolt open.
SEALs and Special Forces need this 💪🏻
Leave it to a cat to somehow blow a hole in your house.
I have no idea what this means but I like where your head's at.
@@pewpewtactical that was the meme, right? A cat somehow got a hold of a grenade, pulled the pin, and blew up the house?
@@Pyreleaf Haha, right you are!
jesus that thing spits out those rounds like a spinning top
So 15 seconds from backpack to 1st shot...useful in a dynamic defensive scenario only if you have a sidearm that allows you to immediately return fire, create space and get to cover such that you will then have 15 full seconds to extract, assemble and deploy the rifle.
Seems like a rare situation where it would be useful and/or crucial to your survival.
I guess if this were mainly being used as a means to enhance concealability in non permissive environments then it might have some utility...but as a primary defensive weapon...not so much.
Why not a primary weapon?
@@FoldAR For all the reasons I just described.
If you want a foldable weapon it's primarily because it's concealable...what good is a concealed weapon that takes 15 seconds to deploy?
If you need a defensive weapon it needs to be able to be drawn and fired within about 2 seconds or less...preferably with only one hand in the event you are engaged in a hand to hand struggle...(in which case a folded rifle in a backpack is completely useless)
If the environment is such that you need a rifle carried "at the ready" then the concealabilty of that rifle is no longer a factor...a standard non-folding rifle will accomplish the same thing.
In essence the FoldAR seems to solve a problem that just isn't likely to occur.
In the 22 seconds it took just to get the gun up I’d be dead
That's what training and practice is for. Also, realize the purpose isn't for a "quick draw" scenario that's what a CCW pistol is for. It would be more for reacting to a threat that is either at some distance or where there is cover between you and the threat or the threat's attention is on someone else.
@@ecobasetech4558Couldn't agree more.
I think I finally found my cup of tea.
This is toast with jam AND the cup of tea.
How did you unfold, seat a mag, not charge it, and be able to fire a round?
Interesting….very interesting..hmmmm
Another fine video sir. Hope to link up in 2024...
Thank you very much, going to SHOT?
Hoping to but have a pending class. I assume you will be there....👍
@@josephrhoades2464 Absolutely.
Bout to buy one!
You tested for accuracy before and after folding but no mention of point of impact shift. On the 25 yard target it looks like it shifted?
It might have at 25 but I was still working on zero too so that's not entirely trustworthy. At the 100, it did not shift.
I just don’t trust any folding firearm, when the folding mechanism disables the weapon. It’s a built in failure point. If the folding mechanism jams, breaks or gets damaged, your weapon is useless.
I get that, if it were still the 1950s and materials and manufacturing were of that era. The Fold AR has proven solid thus far but I'll continue testing it.
Any 10.5 and 🎾racket bag 🤭is best if you gotta unfold and chamber you’d be better off 10.5 AR/AKP or MCK 🔫,however a real sleeper keltec su16c
Dear Santa, please let this be under the Christmas tree🎄 for me. I've been so good this year!
Why buy this instead of something like a Dissent or an MCX ?
Wow
Seems like it would make a great Christmas gift just saying
Ho ho hoooo!
Cool like a breeze 👍🏻
Dream gun... In 300blk
This folding AR 15 make me smuggling it.
Doesn’t seem good for a defensive option. Never shot a folding AR, but I think I’d go with the S&W if I were to get one.
🇺🇸
But can you store it folded with a mag in it?
Seems a lil slow to LOCK the barrel into place IF you needed it FAST.
You can absolutely store it with a mag in. It comes with a 20-round magazine and that's about perfect for stowing in the bag. It's only slow-looking because I'm slow with it. There are videos out there of other folks who have spent more time with it and can get it shooting pretty quickly. With practice, you can get this thing in the fight pretty fast.
I’m not sure that faster than just breaking down the lower and upper, then having to put it back together. Hard pass on this thing.
I'm not sure either, but it's definitely shorter than breaking down the two halves.
I'm not sure either, but it's definitely shorter than breaking down the two halves.
Looks nice, but it seems pointless to me buying something like this when you can just pop two pins out.
The difference in length between a fully assembled and folded FoldAR Rifle and a non-folding upper is 8", making one easily concealable, and the other not.

$2100 is not Really that Much because you can take this Backpacking
Right. It's sincerely a quality AR that folds in half.
