My latest is a new old stock Ruger Mini Thirty chambered in
7.62 X
39mm. It has a stainless steel 18-1/2" barrel and a "tree

laminate stock. Manufactured in 1991 when the Mini Thirty
was first
introduced,
it was never a catalog item and didn't appear on their
dealer price
sheets. It will remain unfired in my collection.

The Mini 30 was introduced in 1986 and went into production
in 1987.
Don't know anything about your TBZ stock.

Sorry. 1991 was when the stainless Mini Thirty was introduced. I
should have been more specific. If by TBZ stock you mean the
"tree
bark" laminate you won't find it in your Google searches.
That's why
it's a collectors item. It's a 27 year-old brand new firearm
that
was never offered to their distributors.

Wowser. Actually, I didn't have to google it. I spent some time
researching the "mini" series before and after I bought my
Mini-14.
So, you have an old, unused Mini-30 on a stock Ruger sourced.
I'm sure
it has value...to you.

Ruger makes all of their own wood stocks. It's rather
impressive to watch.

No, Ruger does not make *all* its own wood stocks. I have a new wood
stock for a Mini-14 that is "100% Ruger" but was made by an outside
contractor.

Then it wasn't one of Ruger's *own* wooden stocks, dummy. It was
an outside contractor's wooden
stock. Wake up.

"100% Ruger" Except the parts that aren't huh?
It reminds me of the Vita top muffins my wife buys that say they are
"76% Organic". I guess the other 24% is sawdust and pesticides.

The wood stock I have came off of a brand-new, out-of-the-box Ruger
Mini-14. The stock was not made by Ruger. Ruger may manufacture some of
the wood stocks it puts on its rifles, but it does not manufacture all
of them. Period.

So it is not 100% Ruger then is it?

My comment was a response to Gunny Alex's claim that Ruger
manufactures *all* its own wood stocks. It does not. I have no idea
whether Ruger manufactures everything else in its firearms, or whether
it "OEMs" some parts.

Alex was also incorrect in his claim that my semi-auto 10/22 was just
rebranded Ruger parts, and that the manufacturer whose name is
engraved on the serial numbered receiver was not actually a firearms
manufacturer. Hey, it's all just part of the never-ending right-wing
fantasies and delusions here... :)

Show me how I was wrong.
