F5 Mfg MSS kit for the Palmetto State Armory JAKL from the description for their complete lower - We aren't running a simple 1913 picatinny adapter that will flex and twist under force. The F5 Mfg adapter locks into the receiver in two ways: The first being the shear and flex resistant primary attachment point to the reciver extension, the second are the robust anti-rotation tabs that cradle each side the reciever resulting in a marriage between upper receiver, lower receiver, and stock.  |

I like it. $300 on sale ($400 regular) is steep, but I do like it. Curious how the actual quality and durability is. It also needs to come in FDE and ODG too.

So does it come with the JAKL (or JAKL compatible) end cap? It looks like it does, which would save you $99 if you’re building a JAKL from the ground up. That takes the a little bit of the sting out of $399 for a stock…

The F5 Mfg MSS kit for the Palmetto State Armory JAKL will take your gun to the the next level. Our modular left side folding stock system is ultra rigid, ultra rugged, lightweight, and simple to operate. Not to mention it looks great. Also included is our in house manufactured billet lower receiver and stock adapter. The pairing of these two components is essential in bring you a product you can count on. We aren't running a simple 1913 picatinny adapter that will flex and twist under force. The F5 Mfg adapter locks into the receiver in two ways: The first being the shear and flex resistant primary attachment point to the reciver extension, the second are the robust anti-rotation tabs that cradle each side the reciever resulting in a marriage between upper receiver, lower receiver, and stock. Simply put, it is the best stock system you can put on your JAKL. |

Been over a month since I placed my order with F5 MFG and they charged my credit card. Received an email today that it will be another week to week and a half before they ship. Mildly frustrated with F5 MFG, wouldn't really care but they charged my card the day I placed the order instead of when the product is ready to ship and then charge my card. They also charge a 25% restocking fee if you cancel an order, even if unfulfilled. Can't say I've ever seen a seller with this policy.

Stock arrived tonight and I was able to install it on my PSA Form 1 lower.
First thing I noticed is when side folded the stock flops around, there is no retention to hold it in place when folded, this was pointed out in a couple YT video's I watched so it was not a surprise. The quality of the plastic/molding is acceptable, on par with Magpul stocks, but at a premium price. Speaking of price I paid $359 shipped, this was full price minus military discount and prior to going on sale for $299. I emailed and asked if I they would refund the difference in price since my order was a month old and had no shipped, I didn't get a response to my email. Email in general was hit or miss. I emailed and asked for my stock to be Cerakote it in Magpul ODG, received a response that a note would be added to my order, received my stock and it was not Cerakoted. I emailed tonight about the stock not being ceraketed, will be interesting see if I get a response. Email is the only point of contact with F5 MFG, but I found it too not be reliable. Take it for what it's worth, this is my sample size of one. I'm not knocking them, but simply stating what my experience was. Ordered 28 Dec, received 21 Feb, received 2 emails during this time addressing the delay, one a general email stating stocks would ship in a week to a week and a half and a response to my email 2 weeks later asking for an update. Looking back the 2nd email I was told my order would be expedited and that could be why the request for cerakote was missed. EDIT: Already received a response to my email, F5 MFG stated "we will get this fixed, and I apologize for the inconvenience". Will see how they handle it. Quickest response I have received to an email yet. I was considering ordering their stock for my STRIBOG and CZ Scorpion but after this purchase decided to consider other options. Going to the range this weekend to try it out. I'm a sub only 300 Blackout shooter (yes another one) and I hope it cycles.

Email response has improved. Received another email from F5, they are going to ship out another stock in green and a return label for the black stock. Don’t know if the delays before was because of the holidays or other issues. Service after the sale has been great so far.

I ordered the FDE back in January and received it 2 days ago. The FDE version on their site shows everything FDE including the Hinge/attachment point.
Stock received was FDE but hinge/attachment point is black. I plan to email them about it. Pro's its very sturdy, feels really good, and has plenty of adjustments. Con it does kinda flop when folded (not a huge issue to me as it'll only be folded for transport).  Attached File Attached File |

finally got mine in for the scorpion a few days ago. doesn't flop but it doesn't lock folded. i can see it getting floppy with some break in.
It's well made and locks up sold on the gun. i like the stock but the extreme wait time would have me shopping elsewhere next time. not sorry i bought it but when i ordered there was no delay announcement. 3 weeks later they went to 6 week lead times. it appears every bit as well constructed as my other original acr stock. |

Received replacement ODG F5 stock and installed today. It's -23 outside so I'm not going to make it to the outdoor range today. Bought 4 different brands of 300 Blackout ammo to try once it warms up a little.
The replacement stock adapter and stock cerakoted ODG. I like the look, bottom picture is other Form 1 SBR that I built over 10 years ago, it's an all PSA build that has been rock solid.

I got my F5 MSS stock this week, only had a chance to install it today.
It locks up tight, but as already said it might get loose with age when open... that said, I rarely fold my side folding stocks. Only real complaint I have about it is the prominent "F5" shield logo on the sides of the mounting block, but at least it isn't white. It definitely gives the Jakl a "Poor Man's ACR" look. I now kind of wish someone made a MOE style polymer handguard for the Jakl upper... then again I'm not sure if one would even work like the metal MLOK handguard works. |

Thanks for the heads up on the PSA blem lower with the F5 stock. That’s like getting the F5 stock for $300, with a free complete lower. Plus I’m buying directly from PSA because I’ve heard nothing but horror stories about wait times when buying it directly from F5.
