    Mini 14 580 Series Stock Question

    The receiver does not fit into the stock if the reinforcement bracket is in. I did not see a 581 wooden stock on their site, and the rep I spoke to did not suggest one to me. Could you direct me to one? *Note, I do have a Revolution Explorer stock currently that it rests in, but I have an...

    Mini 14 580 Series Stock Question

    I have a mini 14 I purchased used. It is marked 'ranch rifle' and has a serial number starting with 580. It is stainless steel with a synthetic stock. The question I have is, does a wooden stock that fits this model exist, and if so, where do I find one? I've already ordered (and returned)...

    Why are Glock's .380 offerings not available to civilians?

    My parents are LEOs, would there be a issue if I asked one of them to purchase a Glock25 for my girlfriend? (she isnt fond of 9mm and dislikes the cz83 I gave her because "its ugly"...don't ask me how a Glock is "prettier")

    Ruger Mini 14 Internals Questions

    pbrktrt, it is from a 180. Thank you for a definitive answer (I kept getting "580 will fit both 180 and 181 stocks" from others). Guess I need to decide wether to try and trade this 180 stock for a 181 stock or try and find a cheap old mini to put in the 181 stock lol!

    Ruger Mini 14 Internals Questions

The fit on the wood stock (w/o reinforcement, as my problem is i cant fit it in w/reinforcement bracket in) is actually tighter than the fit on the synthetic, so it is apparent that the 580 does indeed have a wider receiver. There is...

    Mini 14 Wood Stock Refinishing

    vnhill1981, Dentite, many thanks for all your guidance. It's been a long project as I've been busy with work. I followed your advice re stripping and sanding, filling grain, etc, and went with an oil based antique cherry stain. It's drying now, I may stain it again in the morning to get it a bit...

    I have a mini 14 with synthetic stock. It's stainless steel, has a 580 serial prefix, and is marked 'Ranch Rifle'. I purchased a wooden stock off of backpage.com, stripped it down, sanded and refinished. There were some metal parts inside the wooden stock: forend liner, stock reinforcement...

    Mini 14 Wood Stock Refinishing

    I recently acquired a mini 14 stainless. It has the synthetic stock. I really hate the way it looks, so I got an old wood stock off backpage.com. It's a little beat up and I was thinking I'd sand it and refinish it. Has anyone here sanded and refinished a mini 14 stock, and if so, do you have...
