Yeah, yeah , Necrothread . But since I just came from a link in current thread , this one is fresh to me . ( Confession - I don't automatically read and leave pro forma post on every Introduction , primarily if the thread title , or poster is of particular interest . No offense to any new members I skipped .)
I actually understood Shelbie's post , and he made a point . I know this is the Internet , my spelling can be notorious , and I don't proofread before clicking. But just a tiny bit of sentence structure and paragraphs can go far in getting accross your ideas .
I don't hate on Mini-14 . But Mini's and AR's are different rifles ( from the shooting enthusiast context . As far as Evil , or rather Non- Evilness , they and hundred sixty' levven others are the same .)
I like my AR's to be AR's , and Mini's to be Mini's . Trying to make a Mini into an Ertaz AR is just pointless and frustrating
Historical Note - once upon a time, Mini- 14 were substantially less expensive tha AR-15 , so there could have been an articuable case to justicy Tacti-Cool'ed out Mini's , but that era is long gone .

I had an older gentleman come into our store with a Tapco'ed up Mini 30, his son had given him, he just nearly begged us to tell him how he could un-Tapco it, back to looking like an actual rifle.
We took care of him quite well, Hogue stock, replacement stock liner and factory handguard, scope mount and a low power variable, and he walked out with a respectable light deer rifle.
ATI, Tapco, stay back, don't do it!

A somewhat late welcome.

A Mini 14 w/ a folding stock is banned in MD. I have a couple extra originals that I've acquired over the years and will have to sell outside of MD when I get around to it.
Hopefully you have a later model Mini-14 181- series or higher S/N (first 3 digits of S/N), as the 180- series is not compatible with most aftermarket stocks.

Fellas - I am not sure putting a folding stock on a Mini-14 makes it illegal in Maryland. I believe the ban cites the “Ruger Mini-14 folding stock model”. I believe it is referring to the rifle that comes from Ruger with a folding stock. I don’t know that adding a folding stock to a standard rifle would qualify under the banned language. I have owned three different Mini-14’s, and sold them because the accuracy was so bad. Light, reliable rifles, but they shot patterns instead of groups.

I have a 5847 Mini-14 - it came from Ruger with a black synthetic stock. Now I am looking for a nice hardwood stock for it.
I am getting away from black plastic guns, becoming more of a wood and steel guy. I'll keep my two Colt 6721s but that's about it - the rest are wood and steel.

Absolutely correct. When I had a Mini 14 about a decade ago, I went out and bought a $300 scope, expensive for me, and I was never pleased with the results. I could hit the 8" targets and gong but the groups were loose. A friend lent me a red dot, I forgot which one, and, voila, I was just as accurate/inaccurate as I was with the scope, and the red dot was faster for me and a lot more fun, too.
