Yeah... Something really took it's toll.... You gonna be at Mansfield this weekend?that was obviously damaged at some time in shipping just look at the box, pressed on the side, no other way the stock should or would get cracked like that ALL THE WAY THROUGH,,,,UNLESS IS WAS USED A BASEBALL BAT AGAINST SOMEONES HARD HEAD??
There are a few of them on ebay .Ouch !!!! I might have a black plastic stock for a mini 14.... but nothing wood like yours....
I haven't accepted it yet. FFL messaged me immediately and he still has it. In a fight with selling dealer as we speak. He is denying all responsibility and I cannot file a grievance with GB until 30 days for some ODD reasonWhy did you accept it at your gun store?? Seeing that I would have not accepted it and have the store send it back.
My FFL is also a gunsmith and he inspected the other components and feels there is no other damage luckily. I'm more pissed that I purchased that particular rifle because of the rare stock and now it is just a pile of fireplace material.Along with finding a new stock, I would be extremely worried about the overall condition of the rifle. To break a stock like that, what other damage might have happened?
Can you post pic?Have a 195 series stock off a new rifle, will that work. Only metal is rear swivel and buttplate.
That model does not fit the post 580 series . Thanx thoughAre the Mini 14 and Mini 30 stocks the same? I have a wood stock for a 1980's version of the Mini 30.
Yeah, It is a Boyds stock. I went to their website and priced a new one exactly as this is and it is almost $520... DAMN!That looks to be a Boyd's walnut stock. They are not inexpensive. Two that crack is from side ways pressure. There should be metal reinforcement there but it is missing as there are no screws through the side of the stock which holds the reinforcement in place. I can't imagine Boyd's would not have included the holes so I may be wrong but that is why that stock cracked that is the weekest part of that stock
I have looked there but almost all the sellers cannot tell me if theirs is a 180- model or 580-model. Not taking that chanceThere are a few of them on ebay .
All they have is the basic wood stock. Looking for something differentHave you called Ruger Parts & Service to see if they have any like you are wanting ?
What are you looking to get for it? Can you bring it with you to medina on 6/10?Jeff is are some quicks of the MIni-14 stocks I have here like I said the older NOT the early shallower 180-181 stocks and this one has the blue metal liner liner 4 parts, 2 screws, the mag well support and the liner with the hook tabs for the foreend tip....
no I am not going to mansfield ,and looks like not to the OGCA either......
