Very nice.
I bought my Mini a few years ago (without the ATI stock) and really wanted to put the ATI on it for the pistol grip, rails, folding stock and forward grip possibility. Bought the stock, installed it and, for a number of reasons, didn't like it. I figured the Mini didn't need to be so much like an AR; one of its' strengths is its' compact nature.
Now after seeing this, I am rethinking my position. Awesome rifle, thanks for the picture.

I put another 100 rds thru the gun today--no malfunctions of any kind! The Archangel stock is solid and tight, and the aluminum top rail/handguard provides a secure mounting surface for the optic. I am very pleased with this stock. Thanks to everyone for the kind comments.

Any updates on this? I'm curious as to how solid the stock and cheek riser are staying...

And does the optic hold zero after you've removed and replaced the rail for cleaning?
I've a strong negative bias against all things Pro-Mag based on very poor experiences with their magazines.

I like many others bought my Mini 14 because of the looks. Lately I was giving thought to putting in in a Bullpup stock from a company MWG out of Miami. I just could not bring myself to change it around but did somewhat same thing with my Ruger 10/22. Of all the 22's I own the Ruger is my favorite and can't really pinpoint any reason it just is. For the 10/22 I have bought three different stocks for a quick face change, then last month ordered the Bullpup stock for the 10/22, it is great both in feel and looks. However after looking at how your Mini turned out I might have to go that route. Great looking setup you have.

A quick update. I've now fired 1000 rds thru my Sparta stocked Mini with no problems of any sort. The EoTech does return to zero even after removal of the aluminum upper. The upper bolts to the lower with four stout bolts, and it really cannot move around once bolted in place. This thing is rock solid. And thanks again, fellas, for all the kind comments.
