They might not call it a GB model but it's close enough for government work. It's kind of pricy too. |

Love it when a plan comes together.
$1850 is a bit steep, but used ones go for about $1500. Too bad it’s illegal in my commie state. |

The price includes a free IQ test. Because if you pay $1850 for one you might be retarded

Gentlemen, please. Cogburn Arsenal can provide an aftermarket solution.
https://cogburnarsenal.com/product/mini-14-gb-front-sight-pin-on/ Fitments available for any barrel once the diameter is known. They also make a stripper clip guide for metal or Thermold type so as to load from clips if desired. |

If you don't like M7 bayonets, I think you could have it fitted for M14 bayonets or the Swiss 57.

Have both stocks or sell the original on ebay, if you're willing to pay that much for the gun. https://ruger.com/products/mini14TacticalRifle/specSheets/5819.html https://www.samson-mfg.com/a-tm-folding-stock-for-the-ruger-mini-14-copy.html |

I'm still watching some local shops with good used turnover for a Mini30 to do this.... |

New rifle will run you about $1100. The Samson stock is around $300, so $1400-ish to put one together. Ruger tends to have a high MSRP, street price will probably be a couple hundred less. Maybe more. Still an expensive proposition. Probably sell a few hundred, maybe a few thousand.
Part of me wants one, I have a soft spot for Minis. But to much other stuff on the list. |

I like bayonets but I don’t need a bayo lug that bad. Hopefully though, this means we’ll be able to buy some factory nickel 20 round mags from Ruger soon. Stainless Minis just look right with silver mags. |

Aside from the cool A-team vibe, I never found the folding stock to be very practical. Had a stainless Mini long ago and had the Falcon folder on it, which was pretty much identical, except for the pistol grip. Shooting with the cheek on a tube wasn’t particularly comfortable, and when folded and locked the folded buttplate left an impression in the wood around the lug it locked into. Not for $1800, no way.
But if you want to fire folded and not hit anything, just like the A-team, I guess it’s an option. |

Can confirm that you used to be able to find SS minis and the stock for cheaper than that GB. Can also confirm that doing it that way, you get a shorter OAL, which was worth the extra hassle to me for a folding rifle. Why get a rifle that can be compact, and then make it not compact?
   But I absolutely will be buying some teflon coated mags. |

Agree. The 16" barrel tactical is just about perfect without becoming SBR. The only reason that new 18.5" "GB" wanna be Mini has it's place is nalstalgia. But price is too too too high. Bayonet on folding stock mini was impractical back then and now too.
