AI AE Mk III with AICS Stock?

[hk dave]

Hey folks, wondering if anyone knows whether I can take an AI AE Mk III non folder and put it into a new AICS folding stock.

Won't work but AINA will convert your chassis; it costs $1500. You could buy the AICS and cut / weld the folder rear section to your AE chassis. Weld the fixed section back on the AICS and sell it. I believe AI welded the chassis sections in the past. Structurally it would be fine.

I do believe that once upon a time a guy did this in the DIY forum. Turned a non folder to a folder. I think he was even able to get the hinge from AI if my memory serves me well. Search that up. I will try also.

You can't buy a folding chassis and drop your barrel and action into it?

When I inquired late last year this didn't seem to be an option. Maybe things have changed now that the AE has been axed.
