Samson A-TM Folding Stock for Ruger Mini-14/30

The Samson A-TM is the only fully machined-aluminum folding chassis built for the Mini-14. Where the ATI Strikeforce is polymer-over-spine and the Archangel stocks are reinforced polymer, the A-TM is 6061-T6 aluminum from the receiver pocket through the buffer extension. Lockup is metal-on-metal and stays consistent over thousands of fold cycles. The folding mechanism is a side-fold to the left, dropping overall length to about 27 inches with the stock locked.

The forend is M-LOK on three sides, full Picatinny top rail extending forward of the receiver to give the user a real scout-mount surface for an optic forward of the gas system. QD sockets sit on both sides of the forend and stock body. The factory rubber recoil pad is meaningful on sustained 5.56, and the cheek piece geometry sits the shooter at optic height without adding a riser.

Pricing is the main barrier; at $375 the A-TM costs more than the rifle's Tactical-variant MSRP gap. Pick it for owners who already have a Mini-14 they want to keep for the long haul, who travel with the rifle, or who want a folding option without the ATI Strikeforce's polymer flex. The A-TM ships configured for serial numbers 181-xxxxx and higher.
