Off work today. Resting.
I've had a couple of Mini-14s and liked them, only got rid of my last one because it was one of the first run models, made in the '70s, and parts became virtually nonexistent for it. When it broke the extractor it was going to be a $100+ custom made part (that might or might not work). Sold it to a guy who had a couple of parts guns and he fixed it. That was about 10 years ago and AFAIK it's still running today. Feeling better, MissB. You're too good to me. |

JC, you have a Maverick 88?
I have one. It came with an 18½" Cyl barrel, a stock and a pistol grip. I found a used 28" modified 500 Mossberg barrel, and covered it with camo-tape to hunt with. |

View Quote Yeah, it's actually my wife's. She bought it with birthday money a few years ago because she wanted a HD shotgun. She knows how to use it in case of serious need, but doesn't like shooting it recreationally. My buddy just got one himself, and tacticooled it up, and as a lark we went skeet shooting and found out its the most fun you can have with your pants on. I'm thinking of selling a few mosins (I have 5, only two are must keep) IOT get one of the Mossberg 500s that walmart sells with wood furniture as a fun gun and maybe keep an 18.5 inch barrel on it for a secondary HD gun. Somehow, I think if I had to used my vz58 in a HD scenario here in SWMO, I'd lose that rifle for an indefinite period of time. |

Just cause I like It, doesn't mean it's not a POS. It falls into the same category to me as its namesake and their granddaddy, interesting and sometimes useful but; not the answer IMO. My advice is for us to keep our feelings on the subject out of the public domain. I'm a Mossberg fan myself. That alone will keep me in this thread! |

Almost quitting time for this hard working gal.
Terry, hope you had a decent day back in the grind? Hopefully, you didn't overdue & are feeling better today? Sorry guys, all MissB has for beer @ home is Budweiser; keep a case or so around in my SHTF supplies. Never know when some poor fellow might wander by & fancy a cold beverage. Otherwise, completely stocked up on whisky or scotch & a bottle of Cold River Gin. (my neighbors favorite) Oh & didn't include hugs this morning! (totally unlike me) BIG hugs Sa/oU friends!! |

Good evening Sa/oU what's shaking around here. Did I hear Mini 14, That might move us from unpopular to outcast.
I might know a friend who might have one he swears by and not at. He feels just fine with the brick heavy steel Ruger mags. he hits what he is shooting at, eventually. Hey MissB big hug here. |

For some odd reason, my phone wouldn't post here since the night before last. I'd write up a post and hit submit. It would refresh the page, but wouldn't upload my text. Out of desperation I used the surefire IT cure. "Unplug it, plug it back in". After I reinstalled my battery, opening Arfcom revealed I wasn't logged in. . . Though I hadn't logged out and had access to my subscriptions and IMs.
