+1 However, I don't mind that my Mini shoots minute of torso. I've been thinking about dumping my Mini since it gets shot so little these days, but this might make me think twice.

you guys have some bad mini's. mine will shoot under 2'' groups all day every day. there are some inexpensive ways to get better groups out of your mini. if mine shot that bad i would consider accurizing before getting a stock like this one.

I don't know people. IT DOES'NT HAVE A VERTICAL FOREND GRIP. Serious fopa on their part. Without this very important pice of gear on it CAN'T be tacticool.

Looks pretty cool. Too bad the price of a Mini these days rivels that of an AR, and you don't have to pay more to change the stock out.

I guess this would be nice if you had an olf Mini about you wanted to play around with, but I surely wouldn't buy one for sake of getting this new stock.

That's my situation, have a Mini and about 20 magazines I've collected through the years. I've been contemplating dumping the Mini setup recently, but this might be a cheap way to make the rifle more appealing to me again. It's interesting to consider at the least.

I am afraid soon mini will cost 1500 bucks a pop because everyone will want this set up.

Then they will start buying the ACR when it becomes cost effective.

I'm almost sad I sold my Mini14 years ago when I was able to outshoot it with my $100 SKS. I like the accuracy gadgets available now. And the tacti-cool crap too

I like the mini, but I cant bring myself to pay the current price for them now. With AR's back on the market new for $7-900, and reports of deals around $600, theres no way I'd consider the Mini up to par with its ~$900 MSRP, especially considering the lack of bench-accuracy, aftermarket options, and being harder to work on.

I'd love to find myself one to play around with, but think I'd cap my spending at $500 tops for one, these days.

wood for me

Well like the fella that kissed the cow, .......to each his own.

I LIKE the wood stock on the Mini family. I also like sights w/o batteries, fixed power 6x (and smaller) scopes w/ old fashioned post and German reticules, non polymer auto pistols..........etc.......... .but that's me.

As an additional update, Mike from Archangel has posted a few updates over on PerfectUnion about this stock for those who are interested. Like Magog said, early word is $250 without sights, and it's estimated to ship in April. Check here to read for yourself, posts 44 and 55 have specific info from Mike.

Cool but not cost efficient. Looks bad@$$ on the mini-30 ('cause we all know the ACR isn't coming with an AK magwell).
