Laugh, of course. I chose the stainless steel model, which comes with a
black mystery plastic stock. The plastic stock weighs a little less than
the wood stock.

My Henry lever rifle has a nice wood stock, while my CZ 455 has a
plastic stock, too. There are nice wood stocks available for both the
Ruger and CZ, if I wanted them. Which I don't.

Well of course stainless steel. What else?

*Not* stainless steel, such as my Henry and my CZ. I like satin finish,
not glossy, stainless on firearms, but it isn't always an option.
Stainless with a wood stock on that Mini-14 would be nice, but I don't
believe it is a current option.

I know they made them because I have a friend with one ... selective
fire and a real pretty wood stock.

Ruger and third party suppliers can provide a variety of stocks for the
Mini-14 and most other "popular" rifles, including stocks that look
identical to what the factory supplies. No question that a well-done
wood stock is "prettier" than the black "plastic" one on my Mini-14.

I have never had a long gun with a plastic stock.

I wanted the stainless receiver and barrel on my Mini-14, and that means
a plastic stock. It's also a tad lighter than the wood stock, which I like.

I never will, although I did have one on loan for a year.
