Reviews & Ratings for ProMag Archangel Sparta Rifle Conversion Stock for Ruger — 10 reviews — Page 1

Check your rear sights if you’re using a mini14 if you have raised rear sights then this won’t fit unfortunately otherwise it’s a very cool and easy to use stock

A complete waste of $200. Nothing fit, a b.i.t.c.h. to modify. Like I said, don't bother it's a waste of money.

This p.o.s. is definitely something to pass up. It's next to impossible to install and nothing fits.Flushed $200 down the toilet.

What an over-hyped piece of garbage. Three days or filing, chiseling, dremeling, sanding and using a rubber mallet to get my Mini 14 to fit into this stock. The instructions are a joke. When it was finally completed, the bolt wouldn't come all the way forward because it kept catching on another too narrow section that is keeping the bolt from sliding freelyinto place. Tried more sanding and filing without success.

I called customer service over a dozen times and left messages every time. No return calls and no one ever answered the phone no matter what day of the week I called. Customer service is non-existent. THEY SUCK!

Now I'm trying to free my Mini 14 from the evil clutches of the stock without ruining it. So far no success. Looks like I need to figure out a way to cut it out and waste the stock. It's garbage any way and a waste of $200+!

Ordering an ATI Strikeforce stock instead.

I'm not sure I'll ever fire my Mini-14 from the Archangel stock and be able to comment on it's handling. That's because the stock is so time consuming by itself, going to the range should be a secondary, maybe even tertiary, consideration. The main activity is removing the Mini's part from the stock after one of the holding screw nuts strips free from its plastic housing. There are four holding screws, enough for everyone to get unlucky! With the holding screw nut stripped, you get to work on figuring out how to recover the Mini-14 from stock, or as I know think of it, the Archangel Chinese Rifle Trap.

installing this on a 1995 ranch rifle. first, i had to grind out an area on the top rail to clear the forward scope mount. after that the top rail fit but now the charging action is stuck. i will have to grind out some of the ribs in the fore-stock to get it to clear. i had read they were working on another top rail for older rifles but could not find anymore on the subject.

I've owned my mini14 for over 10years and was never happy with the stocks that I purchased in the past. However, this stock absolutely modernizes this weapon and gives it a much needed stable rail platform to mound a decent scope. As much as I love this stock, I have a few gripes about it. First, the only rail is the top one, it's stable and keeps your scope from sliding around but I had to mount some extra rails on the underside and left side of the weapon for some more versatility (You really can't put anything on the right side because of the slide of the gas block.) Two, it's a little on the heavy side... I honestly don't mind a weapon that's a touch on the beefy side, but when you begin mounting optics and other accessories those ounces really begin to add up. Three, the installation of the barrel and trigger group is pretty snug and difficult. Plus, I had to reshape the heatshield from my previous stock to fit into it for some extra protection. Aside from these complaints, this stock is great and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a better stock for your mini14/30 or ranch rifle.

While it is a tad heavy, not too bad, it is easy to handle, comfortable to shoot and fits the weapon well! Arrived quickly and as expected! This is the second Archangel stock I have bought and enjoy them both!
