Replacement grip Mini 14 folding stock

[Chubbo]

With no replacement grip handles available from ruger to replace the original broken plastic one, I decided to build a new one from scratch out of aluminum to use any 1911 Colt grips. Having no machining equipment I had to whittle it out using a drill press, band saw, Dremel tool, and disk sander. It holds two emergency rounds of .223. Here is whit I come up with. It is one of my favorite Ruger firearms.

Wow, you certainly did a great job! I think it looks nice on the gun.

Regardless of equipment that you had available, that is a good idea, well executed. It looks alright.

That work is especially impressive considering what you had to work with. Nicely done.

Looks like it would have a familiar, and excellent, "feel".

 

[Rumrunner]

Nice. Probably better than original.

Bought Ruger Grips so as to have Ruger emblems on the grips. Also remembered to put light back on the rifle.

Like the 10\22 contest. You really need to submit a picture to ruger for possinle production. That turned out really nice.
