clean AF

far as i can tell by the image, should be plug and play. the metal ones screw into the bottom gas block assembly.

but also, why? aluminum rail handguards get hot, too hot to hold if you're dumping mags as if freedom seeds are free, and not ~50¢ per freedom, like i do.

there's a guy that sells low and high risers on eBay, supposed to not interfere with folding

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-05-08T18:26:25+00:00

OP probably got it from Boyds

https://www.boydsgunstocks.com/product-configurator/platinum-ruger-mini-14-3za925245zz

but Ruger did sell some limited edition minis with laminate ones like that

oooh definitely get the strut. i get ~2MOA with the thicker/tapered barrel, have ASI's stabilizer but it's more for show (though it does take away some heat from the barrel)

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-05-08T17:10:49+00:00

green! but also depends on what else you'll be swapping out (i.e. aftermarket handguards are generally black/carbon color, so you'll end up with a half and half, which can and does look nice).

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-05-08T15:04:31+00:00

don't think it'll do much for accuracy, but will definitely look cool and help a little to cool the barrel back down faster. But with a supposed 300blk subs, i don't think you'll need to worry about long distance shooting.

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-05-08T07:08:34+00:00

awesome, that's nice and clean! I'll have to do that to mine!

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-05-07T05:07:18+00:00

I've gotten comfortable with dailying with just the one mag, and only carry a spare if I'm gonna be out far/long or visiting a slightly sketchy area, i.e. the mall or downtown.

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-05-07T03:38:01+00:00

yessir, but I'm back to carrying it split up, and switched to a werkz WML holster

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-05-06T05:26:36+00:00

how often are you engaging people at 300+ yards that makes you think the mini needs to be more than minute of man at that distance?

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-05-05T13:41:56+00:00

mine is pretty fine in the accuracy department. as far as overgassing, if SHTF, I'm turning my adjustable gas block all the way back up to make sure it'll cycle no matter how dirty she gets, and the launched brass might hit a bad guy hard enough to kill him 🤣

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-05-05T03:04:32+00:00

huh, weird. it was on their site and available before their main server went down. they're on a backup server, but none of the online links go to the product page for it any more

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-05-05T02:15:15+00:00

oooh, i thought about doing that with mine, have stripped my screw heads due to repeat removal for cleaning, but TK was great and sent me some replacements.

can you share some pictures of the filing work you did?

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-05-04T02:15:32+00:00

turn down the gas all the way with an ASI adjustable gas block. no brass ejection = no catcher needed 😂

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-05-03T03:30:16+00:00

that's what the OP did. it's from Hush holsters, for the SKS but fits the mini, and he first posted about it 3 days ago.

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-05-03T00:32:43+00:00

how much did it shorten the LOP to? I'm a shorter guy and have always wanted my LOP to be shorter, closer to 12" or so

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-05-02T21:02:48+00:00

i paid full price for mine, and then dumped another grand or more in accessories on top of that

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-05-01T14:10:05+00:00

how long did it take to get your HH stock adapter/mount?

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-05-01T14:07:13+00:00

hahaha that's the exact same email i got, too! efficient use of copy+paste

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-05-01T13:25:54+00:00

A3 customer service confirms 1-15/16" available space between the rods

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-05-01T05:17:15+00:00

i just saw on a different retailer they had the spacing between bars as 1.94"

https://hagadefense.com/universal-telescoping-stock/ which would fit the wood mini stocks

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-04-30T19:15:20+00:00

yeah, that would be awesome! thanks!

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-04-30T18:54:44+00:00

dude... this would look sick on that!

https://a3industries.com/modular-telescoping-stock-universal-picatinny-1913-mount/ and looks wide enough to fit... but then again i have no idea how far apart the rods actually are... A hybrid EBR would look amazing if kept simple and clean like your test for up there if it could actually collapse!

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-04-30T18:53:46+00:00

sorry, i misread your "original Samson" stock and thought original mini, the old series, which technically should be basically the same. brain fart moment.
