Oh, btw, DO NOT SHOOT STEEL CASE AMMO in that mini, if you have a decent gun smith available, have him pull the firing pin and make you a couple spares, they are file to fit and if you break one, you have to start from scratch

Hey Charlie,

I hope you enjoy your Mini 14. I agree with you that it’s a sweet action. I remember laying back on the 500 yard line with my M-14 in 1964 - the bulls eye about half the width of the front sight blade, keeping them all in the black and enjoying that smooth Garland action.

With the wide acceptance of the AR’s, military and civilian, and everyone making stuff for them, they’re bound to have some available superiority. I’m not sure that’s a very big deal I’d any likely self defense usage, short of a full on civil war.

Please check back in when you’ve put some rounds through it. This reminds me, I need to take my buddy who owns one shooting soon***128513;.
