Believe you can have folding stock if tube capacity is 5 or less. Fixed stock only if tube capacity is more than 5 but not exceeding 7.

It's been discussed both here and prior forum many times. I'm familiar with it because I had to decide on fixed stock and seven round tube or adjustable stock and five round tube when I bought my M4.
