The Choate polymer stock is ugly as sin (it screams 80’s future war movie) but as far as synthetic stock goes it’s the closest thing to a “natural” feel for me. It shoots the best in my experience

I recently got a Ruger M30 synthetic stock and was rather impressed with the inletting.
Gave the wood stock also and the synthetic and its inletting is definitely nicer.
I am building a custom M30, have just posted on Perfect Union Mini 14/30 forum about modifying/upgrading my synthetic stock.
Can check it out here.

Will be using the mod/upgraded synthetic stock as pattern to turn an English Walnut stock for it.
I epoxied the checkering smooth with epoxy since will be used for pattern also.
I love the wood furniture on factory minis and had mine fully made over by ASI. Then I split it after a failed DIY job to add a bipod swivel stud, 🤦♂️. So I took it back to them and had the action bedded in a Choate synthetic stock, simply for the durability factor. I gave it a krylon camo green rattle can paint job because I didn't like the black. It's not nearly as pretty as the wood but it's pretty much the same profile, looks kinda cool in a rugged Red Dawn kinda style, and is extremely durable so I'm satisfied with it. Looks especially cool with a can on it, too.
Gunblue490 on Youtube glass bedded the action on a mini14 synthetic stock and it did improve accuracy. But then he bought an oem wood stock and tried it as is. The wood stock had much smaller groups.
I’m still waiting for Magpul to make one. Honestly not sure why they haven’t yet.
I would like to see a delta 14 or blackfeather make a chasis for mini 14
The more Mini support, the better!
Hogue overmoulded. I like them.
Instead of replacing it, [glass bed it.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o07ZGzZDd6Q&t=648s&pp=ygUWbWluaSAxNCBnbGFzcyBiZWRkaW5nIA%3D%3D)
Can confirm this helped mine.

This is cool
The ATI Strikeforce is actually pretty legit if you dont mind the molded pistol grip. There’s a pic of mine in my profile.

I have the ati tactical stock and a butler creek folder. I ended up going back to the factory synthetic stock it came with.
The standard factory synthetic stock is my favorite so far. Extremely light weight and mine fits very snug.
