Tips on Installing (Butler Creek) Ruger Mini-14 Folding Stock
I just got a couple of Butler Creek folding stocks, one for a Ruger 10/22 and the other for a Mini-14. The 10/22 went just fine, but I've having a devil of a time installing the one for the Mini-14. Once I took the inserts out of the wooden stock and put it in the BC stock, I just can't seem to get anything to go into the stock but the inserts! I even used my trusty rubber mallet to no effect.
Butler Creek doesn't give very good instructions, nor is its web site any help at all. I assume I need both inserts from the wood stock, the one running beneath the barrel and the one containing the side panels.
Does anyone know of a good install site for this, or can you offer any tips? I like the quality of the stocks just fine, but I just can't get this Mini-14 put back together.
Thanks!
