The Magpul X-22 Backpacker stock

I don't get it.

Magpul could have killed the whole "10/22 takedown" craze by making a two piece stock that came apart behind the receiver.

It would have been 80% as compact, but leave the working parts of the rifle intact.

Also, that optic looks set to take a beating whether it's on the receiver or on the barrel- I expected their stop-motion-thing to show it flipped and the optic protected by the stock. What's the point of mounting an MRDS so far away... and directly to the barrel? Seems like a bad idea.
