As a cop I carried a Mini 14 for several years, mounted on my front seat, also carried a M-16 in the trunk and loved this mini 14 during the Riot in L.A in 1992, seen a lot of action there so I am pleased with getting a mini 30 and mounting it on a mini 14 stock. I like your new folding stock, will see your next video to see how it works out.

That's great! I've always liked the mini 14, definitely is an underrated rifle. I can't wait to see the updated and finished video 👍

Had a Mini-14 SS RR for 30 years now. Never once did it malfunction. I used to skip cleaning it and plink with it. It was a fun rifle, now it just sits in a safe all clean...

I'll take a garand action, low maintenance, 2-3 inch grouping over a high maintenance AR-15 any day.

Don't know why, but I suddenly thought of the mini14 today, and went down the rabbit hole of the A-team, and I knew this was the gun they used... Yup, I'm gonna get me one, and convert it to look like this. I have a few AR's, .22, 5.56, .458, .300blk, but this is an underrated classic.

Great rifle. Picked mine up for $750 right before covid lockdown.

Have a mini 584 series. Bought in 18” I believe. Bought a Choate smooth synthetic stock and the action fits way tighter than the wood stock. A red dot,trigger job,barrel stabalizer,white light and mount and a sling. Love the mini, mine shoots great and I’ll keep it for ever. Hopefully 👍🏻 good carbine’s.

The missing part is the stock liner washer and screw -- holds your stock liner in place. Brownells sells them for a few dollars each.

Thanks man, I got the new stock on here now and I dont think I will be going back!

[@robertmiller2831]

I just got my mini14 because it’s not an AR. 50 state legal 5.56 all the way. Now I need my “extras” as well.

[@notsosilentmajority1]

Already have the A-TM stock and love it. Looking forward to the completed Hannibal Rail install and hopefully, range time. If it works out well it might be time for the Mini-14 and Mini-30 to get this upgrade.

The real question is do you put a blued upper or stainless upper into all that wood and mags. I lean toward a new stainless just to pick up on the accuracy improvements over getting one at the pawn shop. I just want a nice behind the door pig gun to deal with feral hogs. The 30 carbine covers that role right now and it just does not anchor them like I would like.

[@nhbowtie]

I just received that same folding stock for my stainless mini 14... it's Awesome

[@denniskennedy3311]

I like the wood stock it comes with I just put one in layaway can't wait

[@m2003h]

I love ours.... it's fun

[@thefleaflop]

Are you going to sell the orig. stock?... I am looking. Thanks.

[@pkplith]

Had mine for years,out shoots my friends ar15

[@red88chevy]

Where did your 30 round flawless Tapco mags go?

[@kennebearsarms]

Tapco went out of business.

[@bornfuct]

Costs to much...mags cost too much...not as accurate as an AR...hard pass...

[@edukaeshn]

Weak argument... and wrong. You'll make up for what you save in time spent cleaning and gun oil.

[@DJ_253]

That’s a lot of words to say you can’t shoot anything decently that isn’t an AR. Agree with commenter above, you’re just recycling the same weak-ass ‘argument’ AR stans put out there. S’ok, we get it 😆😂
