Håkan Spuhr has been working on this collapsible stock for the G3 for about 6 years. Having been smacked in the cheekbone with the issue stock, I can say, this upgrade is most welcome.
At IWA he told me it was where he wanted it. Coming soon!

Would this fit MP-5 series guns as well? I’m not very familiar with the H&K model differences.
No. The MP5 only has 1 pin and no built in recoil spring, while the G3 has 2 pins and a built in recoil spring. It’s also bigger..
Why would H&K design their products to have limited parts sharing? Do they hate us?
I hope I am missing the sarcasm in this response. Otherwise, please list all the manufacturers who provide parts commonality between a 9mm submachinegun and a 7.2mm battle rifle.
We have AK4/G3 collapsible stock, made in Estonia, by Estonian .. so far so good, it is easy to handle, adjustable up to 3 1/8 inches, here is the video how it works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV4c2Ja8ht8 and here is the crush test for original G3 stock vs stock mentioned in video. More stuff for AK4/G3 from same brand is here http://www.takvar.ee/EM-TACTICAL
Kind of surprised they went with what looks like an AR/M4 type buffer tube in the design..
The stock has to slide down something. A round tube likely provides the least amount of friction.
And it only took them 6 years to develop?! Next you’ll tell me they are going to put a man on the moon! Hahahahaha!
I’t seems like the stock has ingraved sign for the Swedish Armed Forces, “three crowns”. Ordered for them?

Yeah, i’m surprised no one has mentioned that earlier actually. Usually that seems like a big deal, and they even remove the symbols when selling off surplus uniforms for example.
Any more information about that?
Yes, it’s a SWE army order. Upgrading existing G3 rifles to serve in a DMR role.
Good looking stock. I am surprised they did not integrate a rear sling mount, other than forward mounted “HK hook” attachment point. On a full size battle rifle it would definitely be an option I think most users would want.
It’s HK, it is most definitely not about what the customer wants. It is about what they decide to give you and you will be happy about it!
Pretty sure Spuhr =/= H&K.
So it’s a car stock?
I am digging the check rest. The check weld benefits of a Magpul UBR without all the weight/bulk.
