this is a new stock for the Mini 14 to make it look like an ACR.

It gives it a monolithic rail for nice optic mounts.

Wow that is pretty cool, if I ever buy a mini-14 platform someday, I would probably buy one of those stocks.

Making it pretty isn't gonna make suck less.

What is the fascination with putting rails on everything these days?

Im not magazine writer so I say that thing is a first rate way of making a Mini 14 fugly.

Glad that you were willing to condescend to our station and present us with your well reasoned response.

Purely from a utilitarian view, adjustable LOP and cheek riser is definitely a plus for usability. Rails are there if you need 'em, otherwise, well, they're just there.

Allow me to put it another way: Wrapping a nice stock around a mini-14 isn't going to make the mini-14 a better weapon.

I think the cliché goes: "That's like puttin' lipstick on a pig"

the claim is increase accuracy by 25% or a 1.5 MOA...

The rail is awesome because that is the real draw back on the Mini 14. hard to mount optics.

You can have a bad ass system for less then 900 bucks new.

Haters will always be haters.

Or, as I like to put it, "Like mounting a diamond in a turd." The Mini-14 is an okay weapon, but there's much, much better rifles for the money. Even quality AK variants like Saigas are more accurate at half the cost. Fact is, the cost-to-performance ratio of the Mini-14 is very, very poor. Anything like this you do is just throwing good money after bad.

I have had a few of the things and still have one now. They are what they are. What I find interesting with that stock is it kind of makes the mini look like a Saiga that is a much better buy.

That Promag stock makes the Mini even HEAVIER than it normally is.

We made a side-comment on it during the SHOT V-logs.
