Lot 1280:
Choate Tool Corp. Folding Stock Pair for Ruger Mini-14 and Mini-30 Rifles
Description
This lot features a pair of aftermarket folding stocks designed for Ruger Mini-14 and Mini-30 semi-automatic rifles. The first item is a Choate Tool Corp. metal folding stock featuring a black finish, a checkered synthetic pistol grip, and a side-folding wire-frame buttstock equipped with a textured rubber recoil pad. A handwritten label on the receiver channel identifies compatibility for the Mini 14/30 platform. The second item is a polymer side-folding stock with a textured black finish, featuring a finger-grooved pistol grip and a telescoping buttstock with an integrated adjustable cheek riser and a rubber butt pad. This polymer stock includes ventilated cooling slots and accessory mounting points at the forend. Both units are designed to enhance portability and adjustability for the Ruger Mini series rifles. As these are aftermarket accessories and not serialized firearms, no federal background check is required for purchase.
Condition report:
Both stocks exhibit signs of moderate field use. The metal folding stock shows surface scuffs and light finish thinning on the wire frame and hinge mechanism, while the synthetic grip remains well-textured with minor handling marks. The polymer stock shows general surface wear, dust accumulation in the crevices, and light scratching consistent with mounting and use. The folding mechanisms on both stocks appear to operate as intended, providing positive lockup in both open and closed positions. The rubber recoil pads are intact with no significant dry rotting or tearing observed.
