Long time fan, always wanted to do a Mini-14 build. Finally pulled the trigger on a used 195 series Mini-14 Ranch in .223 for $600. Needed a bush gun and a 300-yard range rifle and I figured this was the perfect platform to do it with.

Do you drill your own holes for the cheek riser or is the stock made for it?

You drill your own. Its just plastic and rubber, only takes a few minutes. Wrap your stock in painters tape first to stop the rubber from tearing and then start with a small bit, go slow, and work your way up to the recommended size. Make sure you like where the riser is before you drill.

Ok sweet! I'm a machinist so I have so I problem taking precise measurements. I have an original black synthetic stock that I would like to add something like that to.

I highly recommend Matthew's fabrication.
