Mini-14 GB A-TM stock upgrade

[Stampeed Valkyrie]

Finally got my order from Samson mfg, for the A-TM side folding stock. Originally the Gun was a standard wood stock Mini GB variant, looking at the date code on the SN 1996(ish) it has the restricted roll marks that were on most rifle during the AWB era.
Started like this...

No idea where my sling for it went, as its been sitting in the safe for awhile..

A buddy of mine started bending my ear about getting a folding stock for it and turned me onto Samson mfg website. Decided to go for it back in Early Dec 2022, and just got it a week ago.

It's identical to the one on my Father's 180 series mini from the late 70s and I am very happy with it.
Was able to locate some nickel plated 20rd magazines to compliment the look.

I had a sling for this and it vanished, may need to find an M1 carbine style sling for it.

Samson makes a replacement upper hand guard rail for it, looks interesting but I think it would Kill the retro look on this rifle.

It looks great but still shoots minute of Softball on a good day, and minute of Pie Plate when the barrel heats up..

He needs a big black van. I've considered doing the same thing to my Mini-14.

I'm not good looking, but if you need a crazy Murdock, let me know! (Can't fly though )

The stock is really well made, easily on par with Ruger original. I've toyed with this idea before from other manufacturers but they all were pretty janky.

It looks great. 100% better.

Looks good 🤗 Maybe installing a Mini -14 Accustrut could tighten your groups.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Dammit. That's exactly what I was gonna say!
