Quick answer

The KA Lightweight Buttstock is a buttstock attachment for KA-family assault rifles in DayZ. It can be attached to the KA-M, KA-101, KA-74, and KAS-74U. Like other buttstocks, it reduces the weapon's dispersion cone, improving overall accuracy. It gives a 10% accuracy improvement on the KA-M and KA-101, and a 7.5% improvement on the KA-74. Despite being a lightweight/folding-style stock, it does not currently fold or add extra functionality over the standard KA Wooden Buttstock.
