    Looking for an MPA chassis. Interested in the folder to help ease it into the safe. All I can find it non-folder. Folders seem to be as rare as hens teeth?

    What is the reason that folders are not popular? Am I making a mistake?
     
    Folders are rare because, with few exceptions, most are less rigid than a fixed stock/chassis (crappy ones come with built-in wobble), and, the ones that are worth buying are pricey.

    If I was in the spot, or ever find myself in the spot, where I was flying to hit matches much... then a folder is something I'd consider.
     
    I originally bought non-folders as well assuming the lack of rigidity would be an issue. I am happy to say it's a non-issue after trying some. The MPA chassis is nice and tight as long as I keep the screw torqued. They folders are easier to lug around and easier to clean.
    Agree completely… it adds an easy factor IMHO / have 4 mpa folders
