Id like to convert my Blåser R93 i to a folding stock, are there any hinges out there for this purpose or would I have to adapt something, and potentially get some aluminium plates fabricated to support the closing portion?

Anything can be done if one throws enough money at it.

A lot will depend on how your synthetic stock is made. If the butt and grip area are hollow, then they will need to be filled to provide support. Certainly a one-off deal.

Here is how it was done with the German 33/40:

I'm not at all familiar with these rifles, but I'd guess there is a stock draw bolt?


If the interest is only for travel..perhaps just have the suitable tool available for assembly/disassembly

Thanks for the replies guys, I wonder if anyone could make a suggestion as to how to best approach this, by modifying one of the existing hinges they sell? To have something custom built I would not know where to start, with what to ask for.

One solution that comes to mind that would not be as convenient as a hinge is a sliding dovetail system, but then the stock would completely detach.

Amazing how many AR type adapters there are.

How bad do you want this.

Can you walk me through why you think you need a folding stock vs the takedown feature of the R93? 93's came with fitted cases to accommodate the broke down rifle. Just trying to wrap my head around it.

Bobster, simple.

It only takes two screws, probably 30 seconds to remove the barrel from a Blaser.

However, with the barrel off, it still doesn't fit inside my (largest backpack) with a 18" barrel.

However with a folding stock, it will.

I am familiar with the GRS Ragnarok, it is a great stock and I am close to buying one for this reason, however, I thought I might get away with spending much less if I can find a great way to mod the stock it already has, which I also really like.

Trying to remember if you removed the forend how long would the buttstock and receiver be.

never mind . Still longer than 18"

thinking out of the box.

This will adapt the BlackFeather Chassis to take a magpul stock . It originally took an AR stock tube. Wonder how this could attach to the Blaser

I'll keep going.

If the stock is a through bolt. then maybe a Remington 870 adapter can be made to work

then any ar stock (with folding adapter) will work.

Choate. I have this folder but it is on an M1 Carbine stock.

Well, lets approach this from another angle. How about a different backpack?

So ashamed of having a Blaser you need to hide it from others?

I appreciate the inputs, but the backpack needs to be able to hold a whole chamois, and I already have one of those Ebearlestock carrying pack, they do not carry heavy loads well for me, nor do they hold enough cargo.

The rifle needs to fit inside the pack because sometimes we have to traverse areas we cannot hunt in, and that keeps the rangers happy.

The pack I use also hold the rifle in its fully at assembled size, on the outside, very nicely and it is quick to get to. It is an Outdoorsmans optic hunter pack, I can't recommend them highly enough.

And the shame of the Blaser, well yes, I think they are ugly, and I hate the circle of deciples, but they do work, so damn well, that I had to pass over to the dark side.

Get a larger pack.

Joking aside, I would think a Blaser K95 would be ideal for that type of hunt. You could use it as an excuse to buy another rifle. Not sure how long the parts would be taken down, but the barrel could be shortened if need be.

I understand these Blazers take down very quickly and easily. Wouldn't it be better to just do that?
