I just noticed that the Magpul PRS Lite stock is on sale at Brownells.. ($85) Mine has been really solid and comfortable. I think I paid around $120 -140? If I needed another one I would drive over there because that's pretty inexpensive for this stock.
I didn't know which sub to put this in. Stock at Brownells

These will work with any of the ar15 compatible collapsible buffer tubes right?

Correct.
I have swapped a few around on different tubes, and you adjust the fit of the stock to the tube by how far you thread the tube into the receiver. Usually a full revolution out from full depth for mine, but yours may differ.
I like the PRS Lite better than the Standard PRS because the window in the Lite version allows you to reach through with your off hand fingers and squeeze your bags rabbit ears to steady up.
The Lite version also works well on a Lab Jack as a rear rest for bench shooting.

The evol I have on the way has the PRS Lite stock on it, I do want to experiment with some higher tier collapsible tubes because I would love to be able to fold it up and slap it in a backpack. I just want to avoid the rattles.

Once you have the PRS in hand and disassemble it, you will see how to adjust the fit to the tube.
ANY rattle from stock to tube fit could be addressed very easily. As long as your folding mech. was tight, you would be solid and stealthy.

If you look at the picture in the OPs post, the large hole at the front bottom of the stock, near the receiver, is where the stock bolts together.
There are 2 plastic pieces that slot together and an allen bolt that goes through them.
Those 2 plastic pieces act as a cam lock kind of deal, and bear directly on the sloped front surface of a Mil Spec collapsible buffer tubes raised boss where the stop holes are.
Your plastic inserts either will or will not go back into that hole based on how far the buffer tube is screwed into the receiver. If they will not go in, you unscrew until they do. If you are employing the GI buffer tube lock under the castle nut then you have to adjust in full revolutions.

Thank you very much for all of that

Yes they will. Just make sure you have a mil-spec type castle nut as the larger out diameter ones may be a little tight as the stock does have to fit over the top of the nut somewhat.
Also, buffer tubes come in two flavors, Commercial and Mil-Spec. The diameter of the buffer tube is slightly different between the two. Google AR buffer tube commercial vs milspec to find the difference so you know which buffer tube is on your rifle.

Thats exactly what I am looking for , https://www.lawtactical.com/ar_folding_stock_adapter_gen_3_m_p/99312.htm looking at this adapter, a lot of good reviews on it
While this is an excellent folding adapter I'd like to try and steer you away from it if you are getting a PRS Lite stock. Reason for this is the PRS style stocks already have a pretty decent LOP built it. If you add the Law Tactical adapter your LOP may become too long, along with significant weight added to the airgun. I've tried one on an EVOL with a PRS a few years back and it was just too much LOP.

I haven't ordered it yet , the rifle is due here tomorrow, I appreciate that thought though. I am going to run it through its paces 100% see if it warrants spending extra money, if so, mdt has a fair offering that I like as far as light weight adjustable options.
 
Yes, but if you have the smaller OD buffer tube and the larger diameter buttstock it will be like F’ing a bucket of water. Not on my gun, on a $1500+ gun, I want it right. YMMV.
As do i! I am going to try this evol out as it is setup first, if I am chuffed as it is, it stays that way I just really would like to be able to put it in a backpack of smaller size, if not its ok , the qd sling attachment point on the prs lite stock and the magpul pic mounted sling mount will work fine
