Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Bacon_Grease: I definitely would like a Mini-30 with the whole Garand style top cover and rod in the front like I see many have done here. Keep it nice and an irons only with the 5-10 round mags and stripper clips. The barrel clamps you're seeing resemble the M-14 gas piston assembly, not very Garand like. There are wooden upper forends available. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By backbencher: Nice. Sounds pretty much like what I'd do w/ one. Wondered how to get a red dot on one w/ a stripper clip guide & wooden upper forend. My only excuse is to have a ban state travel rifle, and feed it from stripper clips. I've grown to appreciate that configuration more in the SKS, and can have the same in the Mini. Yep, ranch rifle makes it easy. Med 30mm ruger ring mounted in front of ejection port. The other option is running a Sampson handguard or ultimak handguard and have red dot on it. I also have the Sampson, for 3 reasons, way to mount a qd recp and a modlight. It also stiffens the barrel from its rear clamp to the gas block and the strut adds rigidity from gas block to struts front clamp. |

Yes. 30 on the left, 14 on the right. I got the 30 when my dad passed. He bought a wood stock for it that the shop told him was for a 30. It was for a 14. I bought new brackets from Ruger and hogged out the stock to fit.  Attached File |

I have mixed feelings about minis
mines in 300 blk and I like it theoretically, but its super gassy with a silencer on it. I understand the adjustable gas block helps a lot, but then I think I need to ditch the acc-strut, which I like aesthetically for M14 vibes. It launches brass, so more points for adjustable gas block. That said, it's really fun to shoot, its triggers great and its reset is phenomenal, its recoil is a non issue, and I like anachronistic guns.  Attached File |

I didn't watch the A-Team, we didn't have a tv growing up, and when we got one for a computer monitor I wasn't allowed to watch it. More interested in it (and the other wood stocked semi-autos) b/c it's a transitional piece. The future had already been seen as early as the Colt rifle that there was no longer a reason for a single piece stock, yet the Belgians are persisting with the design of the 49 right past the 2nd WW, and we do the same with the M-14 despite the FN FAL right before our nose. So all of the one piece stocked semi-autos are anachronistic to me - looking forward to the new semi-auto world of the future, ushering it in, but setting the most modern firearm action available in a single carefully shaped piece of wood, b/c firearms have been built that way for centuries now, since the earliest gonnes. So the Mini is an anachronism, was when it was introduced, as was the M-14 and FN 49. The Gewehr 43 was a contemporary of the MP 43, better known as the Sturmgewewhr 44. The Garand was revolutionary, but even Garand didn't plump for a 2 piece stock. |

Sold my last GB folder right before Samson released their repro folding stock.
Now it's just my lone AC-556 in the safe. :-D Mags are absolutely a weak point, especially in auto. Even factory 30s are 50/50 at best. Only thing that's been nearly flawless is factory 20s. |

My kids all learned to shoot iron sight centerfire rifles on the Mini-14. It was a great rifle for chasing tin cans etc. When the kids grew up I sold the rifles like an idiot. Now like an idiot I own a couple new ones that are actually pretty accurate. My HD weapon is a 6720 but shooting the mini makes me smile for some reason.

(If I made over 100k I would probably have a clone correct one as a wall hanger) That's incorrect. As I've stated, I never watched the A Team. It was built as a nostalgia rifle for the shortest lived US service rifle. So: 1) Folding versions - A Team nostalgia/decent truck guns; 2) Fixed stocks - M-14 nostalgia (where some of my interest comes from, and why the short barrel clamps are so popular); 3) Ban state compliant for those behind enemy lines - and there are aftermarket stripper clip guides for the 181 series onwards, which means you don't need to carry 21x steel 10 round magazines for a standard load. It's not the best modern rifle - but I'd argue that in Washington state, it's the best semi-auto 5.56 rifle you can buy new. It's probably the only semi-auto 5.56 rifle you can buy new right now.  ETA: There's a Washington state contest - new production Mini-14 w/ stripper clip guide & 1x 10 round mag vs KelTec RDB Survival w/ 21x 10 round PMags:

I was already spending stupid Sig money so I just full sent it with the 2x ACOG it was pretty bad before I installed the cheek riser. Not sure if it is a .5 or .75 riser but it feels on par with the ADM mount I use on my 20” and it’s 4x ACOG so I’m happy! Definitely lower than a carry handle. Thanks tho bud  definitely need to slap it on there for shits and giggles!

All I have to say is "I pity da fool!" (If I made over 100k I would probably have a clone correct one as a wall hanger) While not "clone correct" the current 5895 is awfully close AND gets you both the ranch-rifle Ruger ring integrated bases, AND drilled-and-tapped for an included picatinny bridge rail, so closer to the AC556 they apparently never actually showed/used in the show *AND* the options to do modern optics easily should you wish to stop LARPing George Peppard. ETA: Notice integral front sight just behind the tacked-on muzzle device, lack of barrel-mounted front-sight, and lack of receiver-mounted selector lever.
