What length did you have it cut down to and who did the work? Edit: well I feel like a dumbass  I thought it was an original GB but it looks like it’s a 16” new series

I like the changes to the new Mini series, but wish they'd used an undercut front sight like the M14 instead of a ramp. Also would prefer the peep to be a little larger aperture. But that's an easy fix. |

Has anyone ordered an A-TM stock for the Ruger shop recently? How long did it take for the back order to be filled? Just curious because I ordered one on 2/24.

I got my hands on one of the ATM stocks for my Mini 14. Because it only comes in stainless I ended up getting it cerekoted to match the rifle. I really like it. I took it out and shot it with the new stock setup and it feels very solid. Very handy little stock setup.

Here’s my Mini 14 in its new folding stock
This picture is before I switched out the stock reinforcement that came with the Samson folder and put in my original Ruger stock reinforcement that originally came with the Mini 14’s factory wood stock. The tabs didn’t line up and the barreled action keep sliding forward. All and all I’m very happy with the fit and finish of the stock from Samson, the color matches the original birch stock. I love the look of the new stock so much I think I’m going to Form 1 it and SBR it to 13” and put a gas block front sight on with a stainless Ruger Mini 14 birdcage flash hider.  Here’s a pic after the swap, now it sits flush with the gas block.

I absolutely cannot get this thing installed. I'm no gunsmith but it shouldn't be this hard, should it? It seems to fit nicely into the gas block but when I try to swing the rest of the receiver down into the stock the stock reinforcement seems to be in the way. Am I doing this right?

In addition, the metal stock reinforcement being too far to the rear may cause some magazine insertion/extraction issues. DO NOT file-down the barreled action, as doing so WILL void your Ruger warranty! Folks at PerfectUnion Site may be able to help. |

I've always substituted stainless steel for OEM blued steel, and bead-blasted or sanded such items. In the past, used Brownells 'AlumaHyde II" epoxy paint for a final coating.
So far, so good. |

^^^I have heard good things about that finish, I would have the guy that does my engraving do it, he does sandblast before Cerakoting but I still wonder how well it will
hold up in the crease when folding the butt plate up and the contact post on the side of the stock. |

|

Posted: 7/17/2021 8:47:55 AM EDT

Used the Alumahyde II for the finish, put the parts in the oven on 175 for about 3 hours, still holding off on folding the buttstock until it cures
more, about a week, so I don't know if the finish will scrap off at the folding point yet.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Gunbroker is where I eventually ordered mine. Had a line on one from a website, and they wound up cancelling it for some reason. I eventually settled on a 16" SS 583 series, non-threaded, because of the reduced OAL vs. a threaded model with a muzzle device, but I had to get it from gunbroker. These A-TM stocks caused a run on SS Minis. |

Does anyone have the length of the Mini 14, when folded, with a conventional Mini (not the tactical model). Conventional means like Wal-Mart used to sell. "Conventional" as in the simple/typical model of Mini 14.

Just to say again, my 186 series SS Mini is in a carefully-bedded into a Butler Creek synthetic side folder. All metal Bead-blasted and painted witn Brownells AlumaHyde II Dark Park paint. Other finishes might be better, but the finish I used was available a long time ago.
As accurate as I could reasonably demand; given the pencil barrel with Accu-Strut; around 2 MOA with decent ammo. I've used Ruger side-folders, and very much prefer the now "unobtanium" Butler Creek Synthetic side folder. Ruger Mini wooden stocks are NOT known for tight stock-to-action fit, and from various reports, that includes modern repros of Ruger side-folder. The design of the metal parts on the Ruger side-folding stocks lends itself to wear and consequent wobbling of the joints over time and usage. For the most part, most syn stocks are are at least a tighter, and more consistent fit compared to OEM wooden Ruger Mini stocks, and a better basis for "bedding" if desired. I certainly don't begrudge others their personal preference; your money, your choice. Just relating my personal experiences. Best of luck to you all, no matter what your choice. |

As a side note, according to Samson, lead time is now down to under 30 days from ordering.
And they'll be offering a "black oxide" version right after January. They have it on display at the NASGW show this week. |

Glad the Ruger/Samson side folder folks are happy. Given that the superior Butler Creek side folder is no longer available, except on the usual bidding sites, and then for an extreme amount of $$, the still-available Choate side-folder is probably the best available side-folder stock for practical users, at this time, IMHO. YMMV, of course.
I've used them all; Just reporting on my personal experidiences. Die-hard collectors have their own desires, and can be counted-on to drive-up bids on quality items. Even nostalgia can be a valid motivation. Fair enough. YMMV. Best wishes to all! |

OK, I know I’ll get kicked in the balls on this one, but I’d buy one if they offered one version that has the exact dimensions and appearance of the wood stock version, but made out of a modern durable black plastic. With all blacken stainless steal parts, as like on the originals.
Basically, keep the true classic Ruger look and feel, but made out of a product that far more durable than wood. Also!! Retain the pistol as a separate item and NOT molded DIRECTLY onto the stock’s body, to save a dollar or two. |
