    I thought 580 mini14/30 all the stocks are interchangable?

    I had an original .223 SST Ruger with the factory stock back in the early 80's on the north coast of BC.
    Was a hoot with military surplus ammo (20 rounds for $2.00) and 30 round aftermarket magazines (If I recall Ruger only made factory 20 round extended magazines).
    It was a handy rifle but the side folder always seemed to dig into the pack at the wrong time. It was also pretty heavy for the caliber.
    I ended up replacing the "battle sights" with a smaller rear aperture to try and wring out as much accuracy as I could.
    No matter what I did or what combination of ammo I used I could never get it under 3-4" at 100 yards. As soon as the pencil barrel started to heat up the rounds would start walking all over the place.
    It would take abuse and keep going. Not sure what the wood was but it was dense. On several occasions I picked it up expecting the wood to be dinged, gouged, etc... but it barely showed. Might have had to do with the 1/2" thick clear coat they used on it.
    When we started to hang out in areas that had more of grizzly bears, I switched over to a Rem 870 that I had hard chromed (blued version started rusting during the first downpour) running slugs as te bush was pretty thick.

    It was a cool gun to look at, the folding stock was probably one of the most expensive I've ever seen (it was a work of art), worked flawlessly and was tight either folded or unfolded, but it would not shoot worth a damn.
    Only gun I"ve ever sold that I don't miss occasionally. Just couldn't get past the large group sizes and crappy trigger.

    Having said that, it would be fun to relive my youth. I hear the retooled Mini (decades ago?) shoot better than my original series. Be a fun range trip.

    According to Samson on the video, Ruger is having Samson make them using Ruger molds and dies

    I think they just mean the 180 series rifles only. They were a different beast than 181 series and onwards.
    When they came for my Full auto machine gun, no one did a thing, as it didn't affect them. When they came for my Converted auto, they still said nothing. When they came for my Handguns and Semi-autos they were still too scared to say anything. When they came for my single shot bolt-action .22 rifle, there was no one left to help me.
    Is this what we want to see in our future?

    Looks like these will be avail in the first quarter of 2020 and will have the ability to use different AR grips, they've sorted the gap out as well. Samson says less the $300.00 as well. Way better alternative than the cost of the older stocks.

    They're worth as much as the rifle
