I bought a 180 series Mini in high school and put a Ramline folder on it. The POS stock finnally broke and I want to put a good one on it. Prices what they are today I want to get it right the first time. What does it take to make any Mini folder fit the 180 series?

Thanks

As I understand it stocks made for latter series Mini's (181 & up) are not a direct fit to the 180. Will the Buttler Creek fit easily?

If you have the cash an original ruger folder should be able to fit your gun as it still uses wood furniture, maybe you can work the wood to fit it, unless 181 and later are bigger? What is the fit problem? Width height lenght?
 
The receiver of the 180 is distinct from all its successors. The bolt release is somewhat externally mounted (where the sideplate is on the later series) and will require fitting (dremel tool/machining and glass bedding) before a later series stock can be fitted.
