The ProMag PM271 transforms the traditional Ruger Mini-14 and Mini Thirty into a compact tactical platform without compromising accuracy or reliability. This folding stock assembly reduces overall length by 7 inches when folded, making transport and storage significantly more practical.
What Makes This Different
Unlike fixed stocks that limit maneuverability, the PM271 features a robust folding mechanism that locks securely in both extended and folded positions. The synthetic construction eliminates the weight penalty of steel alternatives while maintaining structural integrity under rapid fire. Independent testing shows the folding joint maintains zero shift within 1 MOA after 500+ fold cycles.
Key Features
- Reduces rifle length from 43.5" to 36.5" when folded for compact storage
- Glass-filled nylon construction weighs 40% less than comparable steel stocks
- Ambidextrous folding release operates smoothly with gloved hands
- Textured pistol grip surface provides secure control in wet conditions
- Standard sling swivel studs accept most tactical sling systems
- Drop-in installation requires no gunsmithing or permanent modifications
- Matte black finish resists scratches and maintains low visibility profile
Field testing demonstrates the PM271 maintains consistent point of impact across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F. The folding mechanism functions reliably after exposure to sand, mud, and saltwater environments. Competition shooters report improved handling characteristics during rapid target transitions, while hunters appreciate the reduced bulk for vehicle transport and blind setups.
