How common were AIAE MKI folder rifles?

[jlficken]

I found a used one that I am debating about but I don't really remember seeing one like it before with the folding stock and cheek rest (ie 2.0 chassis). Granted I only got interested in AI a few years ago but are they pretty rare?

I know they don't use AICS mags which is fine and they have a 2 position safety which is also fine. About the only other negative I can think of is that the trigger isn't as easily removed as it is on the MKII/MKIII series.

I love my AIAT but want another AI and I have a samb300 bipod mount for the AE/AW rifles that I need to find a use for

The 2.0 does use an aics mag if I recall, but has the old bolt and the trigger isn’t an easy drop out. It was the mk1 that has the single stack 5 rounders. I owned a mk2 and a mk3. Both were folders. If I recall it was $450 option for the folder.

I should clarify it better.

This rifle is a MKI but it is a folder with the cheek rest (also known as the 2.0 chassis option back in the day).

Oops, misread your title, sorry.

Trigger guts are the same I believe, so you shouldn’t need to fiddle with it too much.
