Hey ya'll,
Here are some pics of my personal Mini 14 that I finished a couple of weeks ago. As you can see, its a pre-ban with a factory folding stock.

I cut the barrel and soldered on a Vortex flash supressor so that the total length of barrel and supressor is 16.5". I installed my Tactical Flashlight Mount, Tactical Extended Mag Release and Side Mount Sling Swivels (available soon).

The STAINLESS STEEL Mini is coated with GunKote, one of the most durable finishes on the market. The stock is finished with textured TuffKote.

I find that shortening the barrel and adding the Vortex flash supressor adds rigidity to the barrel and will shrink group sizes.

For more examples of my gunsmithing, go to

The Flashlight Mount and Extended Mag Release are available on this site as well.

Thanks for looking. I really enjoy building these.

Thanks,
Lee

Very nice folder hadaway. Is the Tuffcoat, the same as spray bed liner? I like that lite mount.

hadaway---Nice looking preban. I like the light mount too but I can't see paying what they want for one of those "Tactical" lights but a laser might mount there real nicely.

Good shooting

TuffKote is "not exactly" the same as spray on truck bed liner, but its not far off either.

That is a badass gun man! Great Job.

Hey, I understand you run a business that specializes in customizing Mini-14's. Can we send our guns into you to have Gun-Kote applied to them? How much $$?

 

[hadaway]

Gun Kote for a Mini runs $200 + $15 shipping. I coat all parts, including the little roll pins. OK, I don't coat the springs cause I don't like baking the springs.

You are usually looking at about a 3 week turnaround. I try to stay on top of things cause you don't want your stuff sitting in a corner of my shop gathering dust any more than I do.

Thanks,
Lee

I just finished up a couple of more Minis and I have to say the Ultimak rail is the best I've ever seen. More pics at The Arms Room
I've been adding new pages/stuff to the webpage. The Mini page is done, but check back for some other new pics.
Thanks,
Lee

Thats a very nice collection you have there Lee. The Ultimak does look cool. I'm trying to talk myself out of getting one. I don't need it, it just looks so cool.

BTW I merged your 2 threads, as we are limited to 1 thread each in the gallery.

Hadaway,
Can you give me a little more info on your tac light? How is that mounted to the block? I am looking for a tac light, but don't like any of the various "one size fits al" mounts I have seen. I had something like your in mind, but can't find how or where you got that mount.
Thanks.

I have Lees flashlight mount. It is mounted onto the bottom of the gasblock with longer supplied screws. It is quality machine work, and finish. Check out the arms room link: http://www.thearmsroom.com/
