This is a few pictures of my new 581+ series SS Mini 14, I've had it for about 2 months and decided to see if I could fit it into an older 184+ series all wooden stock with the wooden handguard, It only took a small amount of careful chisel work to remove about a 1/4" X 1/8" X 2" strip from within the right hand side inside the receiver area, afterwards I cleaned up and finished with a little Dremel work, took about an hr and it fits and shoots rock solid, The wooden handguard snapped right on! plus I still have my synthetic stock that it came with. I also added the quick disconnect for the bi-pod that I read about on this forum, also had the front sight moved back and the barrel threaded, I chose the Smith muzzle brake and I'm happy with it's performance. This Mini shoots nice groups, the pictured target is from 100 yrds shot using the just the bi-pod while I kneeling in front of a big rock, benching properly produces better groups. I have been reading this forum for a few weeks now and absolutely love it, Nice to be amongst Mini lovers! I have used lots of advice from here find it relaxing after a days work to read through...Hope everyone has a great day..."God Bless America"
