Ok, after having the rifle CeraKote "H" series Graphite black, I have it all together for your viewing pleasure. I would have liked to take the pics outside, but it’s a rainy day…Oh well, that’s why we have a dining room, right?
High Desert Firearms did the finish and again, Customized Creation (Customized Creationz - Home Page) did the butt-plate. 
I had the front sight raised: 
I still have to get a park job on all my mags (5.56 and 7.62), but here is one with the 7.62 mag: 
With the 5.56 mag:

Why are you displaying it with te 5.56 mag and 762 mag? What caliber is the rifle.
I may have answered my own question but my mini 30 fed great using a mini 14 magazine. Incredible looking rifle. |

The caliber is 7.62x39, it uses the 7.62x39 magazine from Ruger, the 5.56 mag is only for your viewing pleasure! |

Here is the whole story:
Before the paint job: 
Changed out the top sling swivel with a 1 1/4" and the bayonet lug from the carbine: 
The stock and hand guard is walnut, the stock came unfinished from Stocky, the hand guard from Gunville: https://www.stockysstocks.com/explorer-ruger-mini-14-30-lightweight-classic-stock.html?___SID=U http://www.gunville.com/products/ruger-mini-14-walnut-repro-top-wood?variant=751070543 I had installed a M14 sling swivel: 
Then finished the stock and hand guard with Fartrimmers OX: http://www.fairtrimmers.com/ Then I formed the but plate: 
Then I sent the plate off to Custom-Creations to be knurled: 
The front sight I found on ebay, I just had Lee Hadaway raise it some to zero it. Easy! |

Damn that some nice work, especially the stock and buttplate!! You made that buttplate yourself??
What ammo do you like shooting? Mini shoots brown bear really well accuracy and reliability wise. If I'm gonna splurge I'll buy ppu sp boolits. I just picked up some dies and gonna really ring out the accuracy now |

Yes, I formed the butt-plate, then had it knurled, looks a lot better then the rubber butt-pad! All ammo except tula..I think Yugo is by far the best, but I had the extra power hammer spring installed and had the firing pin extended, as well as heat treated. That was done so I could use all types of ammo, I still get FTF with tula but I average about one FTF every other magazine. That's a hell of a lot better then the one in five FTF I was getting..lol! When it comes to ringing out the accuracy of the 7.62x39, I have a Sig 556R, I also have a AAC 7.62 SDN can for it, I plan on making some sub-sonic rounds using the 180gr. 303 Enfield bullet.. I just mounted a Nikon 300 BO scope on it, I hope to push both super and sub sonic rounds to see what its really capable of doing...should be fun! |
