Gun update

[Kenneth Brown]

I did it. I bought the mini 14 today. Bought 500 rds and a 30 round mag to go with it. Man what fun that baby is. It was close to dark when I got to shoot it be that just made the muzzle flash so much better. Thanks for the help in my decision.

Re: Gun update

congrats Ken. Check out Brownells for all kinds of mini 14 stuff. Get their catalog as well. I can spend hours paging through it. Some guys build a very accurate race gun based on the mini 14.<br /><br /> web page

Hey Ken,<br /><br />Good choice, the mini-14 is a great patrol rifle.<br /><br />

Re: Gun update

Don't ya love the way the bolt handle slaps back when you pull the trigger?

Re: Gun update

The rear peep site takes some getting used to. Ya, the bolt flying back is a little noisy too. Now I want the AC556, which is the full auto version. I emptied a 30 rd clip as fast as I could, kept it in a pie plate size area at about 15 yards, took about 5 seconds, that was the fun part.

Re: Gun update

That's why I put a 2-7x scope on my ranch rifle. Without a lot of trying the groups shrank to about 1 1/2" at 100 yds. <br />I really do like the bolt noise though.

Re: Gun update

Ive always wanted one of those too, I would want the ranch model, Just had a gun show here , but was busy and couldnt go. Probably for the best as I may have to take my boat to the dealer to figure out whats wrong, seems to have the guys here stumped!

Re: Gun update

Mine is the ranch model also. I will eventually put a scope on it. I know it sounds stupid but I will use the kit that goes on the earlier guns. With the sidemount I can leave the sights up, most of the time I prefer those.
