![]() ![]() There are specific funding levels that serve as incentive for each person for invest. I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of "paratrooper stock". I don't want to be on Ruger's bad side, so I need to come up with a name for the product that doesn't step on their toes. If there are more versions than these that you would like to see produced, please let me know:īefore starting this project, there are a few things that I need to decide upon, of which I would greatly appreciate your help and consideration: I plan to make (at least) six different versions of these stocks. ![]() To accomplish this, I plan to advertise the project through the website, "RocketHub", which is essentially a firearms-friendly version of KickStarter/IndieGoGo. NOTE: Due to recent changes to Reddit's rules we will not permit discussion of any firearms or ammunition sales or transfers, including solicitation ("WTB"), trade ("WTT") and offering ("WTS").Īfter my recent post in /r/Guns discussing the possibility of crowd-funded "kickstarters" for firearms and accessories, I've come to the conclusion that I want to revive the famous Ruger AC556 Factory Folding Stock no longer in production by Ruger. How To Buy Through The CMP - Advice From u/Ellijah92 Would be interesting if his work on the mini gave him some ideas on what tended to make things not controllable on full auto.THE place for M1 Garands, M1 Carbines, M14's, and Mini-14's!Īs well as any variants of these firearms:įulton-Armory - Handcrafted U.S. Who was it that later set about to create the constant recoil concept for making full auto more controllable? Jim Sullivan. Have done some shooting with different minis, and with factory mags they just do not jam. The mini sort of reminds me of shooting a Browning long recoil action shotgun–seems to have a recoil impulse, then a final kick at the end for good measure. Anything in the chamber is ripped out (and ejected way out into the next county) and plenty of force left over to drive a new round home. There must have been pressure to make the mini as reliable as possible.Įspecially with a factory gas port, the mini does slam that bolt back. I think the idea may have been that there was not much wrong with the M-14 other than it being long and heavy. Guess who Bill Ruger hired to redesign the M-14 into the Mini-14? Jim Sullivan.Ĭirca 1973 when the mini was first sold what was the big complaint about the AR? It was that it jammed a lot. What does a potential buyer want their gun to do?ĭon’t forget that while Stoner designed the AR-10 is was Jim Sullivan who (more than anyone) redesigned the AR-10 into the AR-15. I guess that it’s swings and roundabouts. That effect isn’t entirely bad, it results in positive compensation- where slower bullets are given a slightly higher trajectory than faster ones, and at some point down range- they all shoot to the same level.īut it still doesn’t make for contollability in bursts and full auto. What that comfortable drop in the stock also causes is the muzzle to lift as each bullet starts to move down the barrel. That allows for sights and optics to be mounted comfortably close to the bore axis. The AC 556 and Mini 14 also have drop between the bore line and the centre of the butt plate of the stock. The thin aluminium receiver also precludes using an AR stock for beating brains out with- at least If you still want a working rifle after doing that with it. The AR has its buffer, which converts some of the remaining energy of the reciprocating parts into heat, and dissipates it.īut, that buffer takes up space and precludes a side folding stock. ![]() That ability to take a true side folding stock is intimately tied in with the poorer controllability. ![]()
