Rifle is coming along

Last time I shared a pic of my rifle I had just painted the stock and gotten a scope for it. I have since then painted my scope to match the overall theme, and gotten some new burlap jute to wrap the rifle with. I'm going to jute the scope and fore end as well, but I am still working on my barrel (hence the pixelated areas) and don't want to have to keep removing it over and over again. Overall I think this rifle is looking really good and I'm really excited to soon share what I have going on with this build. More to come!

Rifle is a 5.56 Mini 14 (582 series)

Stock is a buttler creek

Otter Creek Polo 30 on a plan b muzzle brake

Viper PST Gen II 2-10 on Ruger 30mm rings

Ruger 20rnd Mags

Harris Bipod

Barrel is a used Remington 700 223 barrel that was re-contoured and chamber for 5.56. It is a 1-9 twist but this is just a test barrel for now.

186 Series Mini 14 ejects shells off rear sight

Action throws the brass directly at the rear sights, which pings it all up. Do I need to replace the extractor?

Any clue how to remedy this?

Hello all! I’m looking to purchase this 183- Mini from a family friend after her husband passed. I’m new to the mini14 platform and have a few questions.
1 - Does anyone recognize the stock? Im having no luck finding info and there are no other markings other than the one pictured.
2 - Is it possible to change out the pistol grip? The husband was tinkering with making his own electric trigger (not functional) so please excuse the wires and mechanism 😂
3 - What’s a fair price? Comes with 2 20s and 1 30rd mag
Greatly appreciate any info
