Mini -14 Folders

[azleite]

Hi Folk's, I'm getting into the Mini-14 game & went to price a Butler Creek folder & found out their discontinued? Read in one spot on the web that their making short runs of them. Can anyone verify that? I'm not interested in a Choate or the AR look. Thank's for any help-Dave

Ive owned the Butler Creek stocks n found it very solid, strong n useful.
I saw one at a show, new in the package, for about 50 clams. Bought it. It is destined for a beater mini 14 I found, as soon as I refinish the metal. Might even do a hot pink/white zebra stripe all-over paint job... ? (This combo will be shades of grey to most game animals).

Dang! That's a steal! I've looked all over the internet & no luck-except ebay. A couple on GB at goofy starting prices- I'm not much for the auction thing. Might see when the next gunshow in Ft. Worth is-Dave

Butler Creeks are okay,, but I would seriously rethink your opinion of Choates they are much better made and on top of that actually made in the U.S.

Thank's for the reply Blume. I've kind of based my opinion on the Choate folders upon the reviews I've read. + l like the looks of the BC. Truth be told the only consistent negative on the Choate is the forend is reported as being kinda flimsy. I hope you don't mind if I ask if you have a Mini with a folder? If so how comfortable is it to shoot? BC no longer makes their stock, so availability is a factor. Thanks for any help-Dave

There was a Mini 14 Folding stock, with box, papers, and extra magazines for sale at my LGS. Excellent condition. I will call tomorrow to see if it has sold.

I went to LGS and inspected this 5/F model again. $975.00. The wooden stock is scratch/mar free. Box, papers are included.

I should! Because I will never find this complete package again. Unless I have a “Time Machine!”
