Does a stock for one fit the other? Are there stocks for mini30's if they aren't?.

Ah danke kind sir
By process of elimination, I'd say he's had no "personal experience".
That's why he mentioned sites that sell stocks for the mini-14/30, and that they state fitting both models...
Stocks for one will fit the other. It will require a stock re-inforcement bracket that is specific to either the Mini-30 or Mini-14. I had a Mini-30 and when I purchased a new laminate stock, I was sent the Mini-14 bracket by mistake. Consequently, while the receiver fit nicely, I couldn't insert the Mini-30 magazine, which is a different shape. Once I had the Mini-30 bracket installed, everything worked fine.

Any idea where I could find one of these brackets?
Brownells carries them and I believe they ship to Canada
http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=11779/avs|Make~~Model_1=Ruger__Mini-30/Product/STOCK-REINFORCEMENT-ASSEMBLY
but they appear to be out of stock. If you have the patience, you can also order it from Ruger's parts affiliate in Canada (in Quebec, I think).
As the Brownells link didn't include a picture, here is what the bracket looks like: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/RGR-011
It's just unfortunate that Cheaper Than Dirt doesn't ship to Canada.
Come to think of it, there is another option. As my Mini-30 had to go back to the Ruger factory (severe enough warranty defect that they weren't going to simply fix it) and was never replaced, I actually have one of these brackets for the Mini-30 (as well as the matching bracket for the Mini-14 that I was mistakenly sent) in my basement. The bracket you are looking for is currently attached to a beautiful and nearly-new laminate wood stock in woodland camo (the layers of the laminate are brown, olive and grey) like the one in the link: http://www.stockysstocks.com/servlet/the-500/Explorer-Ruger-Mini-14/Detail
I'd been saving the stock and the brackets in the event that I got another Mini-30/14, but I could probably be convinced to part with them both (come to think of it, I may have other Mini-30 parts that might be of interest to you). You can PM me if you are interested.
Cheers.
