I am not a fan of this stock either, the green doesn’t bother me but I want a full wood stock because that’s the traditional look I like for the Mini 14.Much nicer. Even in that stock(i hate green guns), you guys should be proud of that work.
Absolutely awesome.
With that factory folder gas block, I would personally find it almost mandatory to put it in one of the Samson side folders. Tad bit pricey, but I have one and they are worth it.
I've never liked od green,fde, tan whatever guns. I agree with you on the traditional wood. My buddy just sold an original folder (like the a team) wood with blue metal folder in box for 2 grand! Those things are pricey now!!! Either way yours looks great compared to what it was. I like what you've done to it.
I wouldn't put any stain on it at all. Several coats of Tru-Oil or BLO will darken it up, the variations in the wood will give it character.
Congrats again! I'd say it's a 1000% improvement from the original
Is that a dead bug in the internals?!
Believe me, I can’t wait either. Hopefully soon…Looks good. Now we will need a range report.
