I don't want to start a thread on mini-14 relability or accuracy or it's choice as a weapon.
I've got a mini-14 that I have found to be accurate and reilable. I want to mount a small rail near the front of the right side of the stock so I can attach a light onto it. Has anyone done this on a Hogue overmolded stock? It's "plastic" so I'm not sure if screws would work or I should use rivets. Have any of you done this? I don't know if this would put stress points in the plastic and cause it to crack.
There are lots of other solutions (other stocks, heatshields w rails, things I can bolt onto gas port or barrel, use a wood stock, etc). I don't want to use these other solutions. I just want to mount the small rail onto the side of the stock.
Many thanks for your help.
