buy an original side-folder or find someone selling just the gas-block but bring your wallet and your friends' wallets as they usually go for $350-450 for a stainless one. About $100 less for blued.

casSomeone made one that looked very similar to the factory folder. Even those go for a lot of money. I had one and sold it way too cheap apparently, as it was sold in minutes. ($100-$120 maybe that I asked?) People contacted me offering me double to sell it to them instead. Someone offered me $300(?) if I happened to have another one.

chino101I hope it also works for the Mini-30; can't own a Mini-14 with a folding stock in Maryland.

dwp10mmHas anyone received one of these yet? I saw the email from Ruger last night advertising a "new item".
https://shopruger.com/Ruger-Mi...k/productinfo/13006/ I too have wanted one of these for years but wasn't willing to pay the crazy prices for an original. My order is now placed. Looking forward to making the change. I hope the quality is top notch.

FlyingScotNope Pending and was probably one of the first ones. Just got a note from Samson that they are focusing on their military contracts for now, not sure what that is...but I’m ok waiting.

adorThat is a very nice collection PGT. The bottom one looks like it is blued. Is that an older version? I hope they make a blued version too. I might get a mini 14 if they make a blued folding stock.

Ruger joining Samson's effort had a lot to do with keeping the price under $300 (if that holds).

Lt CHEGI hope they will make one in synthetic and stainless. I would loooovvvvve that combination.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” May 17, 2020, 10:02 PM
dwp10mmQuick update on my end. I ordered through Ruger on April 3rd. Stock arrived on May 15th. Quality looks and feels amazing. I only wish the finish on the wood was a little darker. I plan to get it installed one night this week.

dwp10mmStock installed very easily. Please forgive the poor photos. I didn’t have time to stage it.

darkest2000I think it's great that they came out with a new production unit but why would they stop an inch short of a mile by not including (or at least offer as a option) the proper gas block piece with the side sling swivel?

greyeyezzYour stocks came with some color, mine looked like a pool cue. Other than that it's pretty nice. I managed to darken it up a little.

No kidding!! I guess Samson has been asked that a lot and they are thinking of making them. I hope they do.

To be honest, that’s pretty much 90% of the appeal of the folding stock.

mbinkyI got my folder yesterday. I backordered it from the Ruger store on 10/10 and it was delivered yesterday 10/27. Looks pretty good. The stock locks up TIGHT. Best folder I've ever shouldered. I wish the wood was a little darker but since I plan on putting a stainless tac in it someday I might leave it. Overall quality is very nice. My only Mini right now is an older ranch I bought at the PX out in 29 back in 1996. I'll drop it in to see how it fits this weekend probably.
