No matter what, the AAC 556 owners seemed to have driven the price of the stock alone to over $800.00. Of course, the original box and paperwork will add value. In other words, I am not seeing that folders that are "certified by Ruger" selling for more money. The point I am trying to make is that seeing these guns sell on gun broker and at the gun shows, there is really a very small amount of collectors that check if the gun shipped from the factory as a folder or even care. The rifle is beautiful and "correct." I used to worry about this as well. The stainless GB folder you turned down awhile ago and I bought left Ruger in 1983 with a birch stock and side sling gas block and was later re-stocked in a folder. Some law enforcement agencies placed orders that specified swivels on the bottom and other special order government guns with straight birch stocks were delivered with the sling mount on the side. From the research I've done, it seems not all folders came from the factory with the swivel on the side. You will see 3 different styles of gas blocks on folders and they are all "correct". I just saw a GB folder with a bottom mount sling sell on Gunbroker for over $2200.00.

I think perhaps with a quick rake I can put most of the Germans out of action, but at this moment, I would give my chances in Paradise to have a tommy gun in my hands."

(Audie Murphy, "To Hell and Back", Chapter 19) The bullet spatters between the German’s eyes." (Audie Murphy, "To Hell and Back", Chapter 18) The ricocheting bullet digs a channel through my hip and knocks me flat.I raise my carbine and with my right hand fire pistol-fashion. "Crack! It is like being struck with a ball bat. Then I go to the room that serves as a kitchen, take my carbine apart, and start cleaning it." (Audie Murphy, "To Hell and Back", Chapter 17) He crashes backwards.At headquarters I make my report. As he frantically reaches for the safety of his rifle, I fire twice. His face is a black as a rotting corpse and his cold eyes are filled with evil. ‘I want to go up and try to get that sniper,’ I say.There is a rustle. "Before reporting to company headquarters, I carefully clean my carbine. The man falls as if struck in the head with a club." (Audie Murphy, "To Hell and Back", Chapter 17) The eighth, a squat, fat man, tries to escape.I squeeze the trigger. I quickly lob two more grenades into the position four of the eight Germans are killed three are put out of action by wounds. Before the grenade has time to burst, two krauts fall with carbine slugs in their bellies. I lob the grenade and grab the carbine trigger with one movement. But the barrel catches in a limb, and the burst whizzes to my right. The gunner spins the tip of his weapon toward me. "Grasping the carbine in my left hand and a grenade in my right, I step suddenly from behind the rock. Later I discover that my lucky shot got him in the heart." (Audie Murphy, "To Hell and Back", Chapter 15) The kraut is sprawled in front of the gun. It is only a few seconds, perhaps, but it seems much longer before I can see. Frantically I try to blink the dirt from my eyes, knowing the German will not miss again. The bullet kicks dust in my face as my carbine goes off.
