I installed a KNS picatinny adapter on my regular AR-15 lower, it goes on the back where the receiver end plate goes. Got a Sig folding stock, reversed the hinge, and the stock folds just nicely under the charging crank handle. The cheekweld feels a little low, though. The Sig stock attaches to the picatinny end plate. admittedly, kinda ugly how the reversed hinge sticks up, but oh well.
ETA: i also bought one of those round straight charging handles from AR180.com, but it interferes with the right-side folding stock.
ETA2: the screw that attaches the Sig stock to the hinge is a Torx Plus IP27. not regular Torx.
Is there a reason for having it folded to the right side and not the left? I much prefer having mine folded to the left so that stock does not interfere with the operation should I want to fire it with the stock folded.
I did the same thing with my BRN-180S pistol build.
