Here I googled for y’all. @KurtM with them big 30 point words. He’s saying that @OK Corgi Rancher is into clothing and furniture like a woman.
I had a mini 14 Stainless Ranch rifle. First shot was accurate. Next shot tended to print to the upper right and every round after that did the same. Problem is the barrel band. It won't allow the rifle to float the barrel. One of the guns I can count on one hand that got sold.
There is a guy in Colorado called Accuracy Systems Inc that professes to have the ability to correct that with some good reviews.
I hated the AR platform when leaving the Army. Trashed them at every opportunity from my experiences with them. Accuracy and reliability.
Something changed in 2008. Obama got elected and I thought this was going to be the start of the big one.
Bought a Remington (made by bushmaster) AR at the Wannamaker gun show in full camo. It's my favorite varmint rifle now, along with a safe full of other calibers in the same platform. Some to compete with, some to varmint hunt with and some for big game hunting.
Bolt and lever guns pretty much safe queens now.
When you were young did you pay attention to name tags of anyone not a Chief or officer?
I got into Minis because I loved my M1A. After running a few Run N Gun competitions with the M1A, I knew I needed a lighter rifle to be competitive. Never was a fan of ARs. I managed to win/place in quite a few RNGs using the Mini.Aren't mini 14's for guys that can't handle 1911's in .45 ACP but can handle a 1911 in 9mm, and those guys would prefer an M1A in .308 but can't handle that....
Just kidding. I liked my Mini 14. Decent enough rifle and felt right when holding it. I like the AR15 too.
For a novice though would recommend an AR though. Reason is cost. Surprisingly I look at a Mini 14 as a substitute for the M1 Carbine, a nice rifle in it's own right.
When you were young did you pay attention to name tags of anyone not a Chief or officer? My nick was Numnuts and that is what everyone called me excepts for the higher ups. I can remember the first name or nick of many of the guys I served with, but very few of the last names including the officers. And no it has nothing to do with how much I drank or the drugs I did.
Yes and you should know and use their pronouns too. Seriously when I was in even the officers got razed a little. One of our help pilots was practicing his landings, set down to hard and damaged the tail wheel on the HH3. For weeks every time someone saw him it was "woop, woop go boom"Yes. Customs and courtesy apply to every rank, and are not optional in branches of the military.
Yes there are a few changes I would like to see to the Mini including a heavier barrel and to use the much more common AR mags. Other than that I like it.Aren't mini 14's for guys that can't handle 1911's in .45 ACP but can handle a 1911 in 9mm, and those guys would prefer an M1A in .308 but can't handle that....
