All,

I'm doing some digging for my brother. He's got a Ruger Mini-14 with a GB 186 serial number, i.e. A government barrel pre-ranch rifle mini.

Right now, it sits in the stock he bought it with, a shitty Tapco with fitment issues. It's my understanding that most stocks made nowadays are made for the ranch rifle, which has a different barrel profile. Does anyone know where we could look for a 180- series stock? Has anyone gone through this dilemma before?

Thanks!

You don't want a 180 series stock.  For a 186 series rifle you need a 181 series and up factory stock which are plentiful in either wood or polymer, rifle or carbine versions.   After market stocks are available as well.   Barrel has nothing to do with the stock fitting or not.
