Some more issues:
- Crowbars can be repaired.
- Slugs for shotguns do not work properly: cursor displays "can't see target" and if you deliver the shot anyway, it costs like three times more than with buckshot or lockbusters. There seems to be the problem in Ammotypes.xml with last, 42th entry for slug type ammunition. I've changed "slugs" to "ball"(1st one in Ammotypes.xml) type in Magazines.xml, and now it works normally as it should. BTW, slugs in vanilla JA2 are also ball type, so they are kinda weak.
- Flashbangs are +1 size bigger than Smoke/Tear gas/Mustard Gas grenades, they should share the same bulk.
- "Deployed Stock" and "Extended Stock" give -1 for size. It should be the other way around, meaning +1 in size.

Yup, weapons incorporating a folding stock being -1 in size to a fixed stock counterpart (but only when a stock item is attached) is not intuitive or realistic. It was done purely to reduce micromanagement. Starwalker, I changed all the stats in my projects, including weapon size so for example the base G36 is size 7 in the XML Editor, as is an AK-74 (fixed stock), M16, and C7. I do not consider the adjustable CAR-15 stock on the C7A1 to change the overall "storage profile" of it to warrant putting it into a smaller class. The bullpup layout of the full size AUG however is dramatic enough to drop it down to size 6. A G36 with either of the compatible stocks attached has an effective size of 6.
As this is actually the most sustained discussion of my folding stock concept to date (3 going on 4 posts) here were/are the options:
1) No change, it does not matter which stock is attached, both give -1 to size. A missing stock makes the weapon "broken," with among other consequences the weapon is the same size as its fixed stock counterpart.
Pro: Less micromanagement
Con: Not realistic or intuitive
2) Only the folded/collapsed stock item gives -1 to size. If you want to fit the gun in a smaller inventory slot, you have to go though the process of folding/collapsing the stock. For example, the AEK-919 is intended to fix a SMG holster. Under this idea, it would only fit, if a collapsed stock is attached. When the weapon is drawn it has a collapsed stock, in combat the player has to spend a few AP to extend the stock or accept the loss of CTH in favor of reduced AP to fire. (Yes I know of the exploit to attach a extended stock after it is in the SMG holster, but for the sake of argument...)
Pro: Intuitive, probably more use of the folding/unfolding process.
Con: More micromanagement
3) The base weapon that has a folding stock is -1 in relation to a fixed stock counterpart. Stock items have no effect on size.
Pro: Less micromanagement
Con: I have to think about whether a weapon's stock can fold or not before assigning a size. (As in the example, I made all "full sized" AR's size 7 unless they were bullpup in layout.)

wil's Step 3 (dl-1.13 hybrid data unpacking) seems missing from your description of what you did.

Finally got DL-1.13 v3.00 started yesterday. So far:
- items reordered
- merc profiles modified to be reasonably functional (Jubilee, Slay, Tourist, Clones, Eldorado...), but it will take time to test and fix all the minor things like face coordinates.
- tested Eldorado, unlike in UC-1.13, it is not respawning
- surveyed original DL maps, looks like I can get away with a no-maps release, about a dozen maps will be using XML Extra Items placement, so the bonus is I don't need to do anything too fancy with arranging the launcher grenades.
