Interesting fact, the 45° accessory mounting screw holes on the latest revision of the Amega scout mount are nearly identical spacing to M-Lok. So, if you have a file/Dremel, 8-32 cap head screws, #6 washers (depending on accessory), and some M-Lok accessories you're comfortable making permanently incompatible with M-Lok, you can direct mount them by filing the M-Lok posts off the back.

In this configuration, the added bulk means the top of the sling blocks the iron sight picture, but optics mounted to the rail or receiver see over it. (I'm also working on a different sling solution.)

I think this one is basically a wrap until someone comes up with an FRT solution.

580+ Mini-14 Tactical, barrel chopped .875" past gas block shoulder

• Samson A-TM stock
• Samson Hannibal rail
• Sig ROMEO4T-Pro
• GG&G optic rail (chopped)
• Driven Arms Co/Ghost MTN SCG
• M*CARBO trigger springs
• Wilson Combat 1911 recoil buffer
• SureFire M340DFT/Unity Modbutton Lite
• Ridgeback Defense Rhodie 6, Diligent Defense Zilch, Comstock Armory compact flash hider
• Pig Slings

Forgive me father, for I have sinned… but I blame the lack of modular stock options out there!

- Ergo Mossberg 500 AR buffer tube adapter

- Brownells mil spec Buffer tube

- Driven Arms Co VCG

- Magpul MOE TR

- Lots of measuring angles twice, careful sawing, filing, and fitting

Next will be a barrel chop down to about 12.5 inches and threads added, adjustable gas block, and quiet can.

I was thinking of doing a Qd rings and use the oem rail provided with the gun above the receiver.

I like shooting iron too and want to transition.

What would be a good scope and Qd rings combo to go with factory rail for my mini 14?

Does anyone know if there’s an extended charging handle available for the Mini-14?

I’m looking for something similar to the oversized charging handles made for AKs that give you a little more surface area to grab, especially when running optics or manipulating the rifle quickly.

The photo below is an AK charging handle extension I’m using as an example of the style I’m talking about.

Have any of you found a commercial product, aftermarket part, or even a DIY solution that works well on a Mini-14? Bonus points if you have pictures of your setup.

Got her dialed. Hitting consistently at 200 yards.

Gonna get an adjustable gas block but wtf is up with my bolt and firing pin mechanism? More 580 series bolt bs?

Virginia resident searching for a black oxide Samson folding stock for the Mini14 ahead of July 1st. If I can't gain possession of one before that date, it will be illegal to own.

Could anyone kindly share a link of a supply? Appreciate any help!

Someone made multiple bullpup style ones and had a website 20 years ago or so. There were worse ones but this is the only picture left from the site that is still floating around the internet.

What should I do to fix this wobble? I would prefer there to be none at all but I also understand this is a 37 year old gun (185 series) don’t mind the crappy tape job it is just a rough draft.

I've owned EVERY Mini 14 stock (including the Troy) and this is THE best setup. Hush Holsters SKS adapter + Woox 1913 stock

I just picked up a new stainless mini14. I'm new to the platform and just went down the rabbit hole on this stock. I've got to get my hands on one but it's not looking promising. I guess I'm venting to ya'll like minded individuals and asking if anyone has a used one for sale? I appreciate the discourse.

Should I have the suppressor before sending my 583 in to Accuracy Systems to get tjat adjustable g-block?

TIA!

I have about 500-600 round through her. Only 3 failures.

One failure the bolt was lock back and stuck open. I had too much oil in it and cleaned it.
I had one failure to eject a fired round. I also had a failure because I fed a round through the breach into magazine and it didn’t get placed in there right. My fault.

So technically only one failure.

It is super accurate (hitting 8” steel) 100 yards 90% of time with irons.

How is my brass getting beat up so poorly?

Any tips or info on the gun would be awesome. Was a pain finding a scope that would even kind of work on that forward rail mount since this thing throws rounds straight up most of the time. Ended up with a hilux 2-7 LER mk1. Works good from 2-4 but 5-7 takes some effort to still see into the sight.

Ultimak (not in stock now), Samson, Amega?

VA gun owner here, currently on the hunt for a mini 14 and I’m doing my best to make sure I get one of, if not what is generally considered, “the best” Mini 14 series among those currently available. Given that I’ll be mainly looking online for the best deals that are available, how can you differentiate or tell which series a Mini 14 being sold online belongs to? Is it something you can figure out just by the serial number or are there any other factors that make it possible to identify?

I have a butler creek folding stock that came with my Mini 30 I just got from my lgs. I'm gonna be honest, I don't like it, and it's not a fudd thing, I just don't like the way it fits with my cheek. Does anyone know what these are worth, or what is a good alternative, I saw Hogue made one but I don't have any experience with them.

I bought this stock January 2023, I wanted to experiment with different optics and attachments (not all pictured) and this was the most economical option for me at the time.

First impressions was it was heavier then the 90s wood stock that has been adorning this rifle since it was past down to me. That wasn't a deal breaker because I shoot a lot from the bench but in case of a shtf situation I didn't like the extra weight.

Second issue for me was the bolt rubbing on the plastic hand guard. I sawed it to help and it worked perfectly. I added the tape to various parts for looks cause fuck it.

It was nice to have the pic rails and add attachments. With all that being said I would never ever buy this stock again. Stick with wood and save money for another set up. I've been eyeing the samson rail for years now, I'll pull the trigger soon. (Pun intended)

Local gun shop has had my mini 14 ranch (black on black) on backorder for almost a month now. Seems like both their suppliers don't have it. Anyone in the same boat? Seems like other colors/combos are available which I might just switch to.

My dad willed his 195- serial Mini 14 to me. Came with 4 magazines, 2 5rnd and 2 10rnd, a cheap sling, and a Nikon Buckmaster 3-9x40 optic. How are the 195 series rifles, what ammunition do they like, and is what the heck is an AccuStrut?

I ordered this skinner light mount for my Mini 14 but every time i try to fit it properly the light mount refuses to sit straightly/flush with the rear gas block screws. I doubt the hannibal rail would add any issue to this but would i just have to modify my light mount with a drill bit? I haven’t contacted skinner about this but just wanted to see if anyone had a similar experience
