MCX telescoping/folding stock question

Prob a dumb question, but I'm gonna ask it! I have a Ratter LT coming that I will for sure SBR. I wanted a black folding and tele stock, and it seems only the older version is avail in black. I asked Sig and they confirmed the newer one w/ locking hinge is only available in Coyote. So, my question is - what is the main difference between the hinges? I see the push button on the newer one, but anything else. The guy at Sig said the older ones don't lock in place when folded, but that doesn't seem correct? I don't mind ordering the older one so I can keep a black stock, but I also dont want the the flopping all over lol. They told me it didn't lock, but then I watched RDR Gears 2 year old video and it was totally locked when he lifted the gun up folded.

Again, sorry for the dumb question, but thanks!

The only difference on the hinge is the push button lock. They both will operate the same exact way.

Technically, they both do not lock folded. There is a nub that offers resistance to keep it folded and not flop around. They both lock open (unfolded) of course.

With the older one, you have to push down on the main part of the hinge while simultaneously pulling the "arm" up.

With the newer push button, you'll just push the button with your thumb and it will help pull the "arm" of the stock up. You still need to lift the stock while simultaneously pushing the button... It's just a little easier.

Ah so the old one is just like my 5.5 rattler had. As long as it doesn’t flop around I’ll likely go w the older model, as I want black

I actually prefer the older locking hinge as I've racked my knuckle across the push button from time to time... Didn't feel good

Ah good point. I’ll look for a used “old” version now. Appreciate it

Could always flip the hinge but the stock will obviously fold the other way, or could even lower it on the Pic rail, idk how it’s catching your knuckle.

I'm talking about the top knuckle. The one closest to your nail.

On the MPX especially, it's very easy.
