Mini-14s at fire sale prices

Hated my mini-14 stainless ranch rifle. After the first couple of shots, the accuracy went to minute of pie plate. I tried every load I could conceive and nothing changed. That danged barrel band is the culprit IMHO.

Yeah, accuracy has never been as good as it should be for what they usually sell for but I'd try one at $399. Just like most gun purchases if you buy it right and don't like it you can at least sell it and get your money back.

Agree, had one back in the 90's, with a butler creek folding stock. I sold it, and got my first AR. I have to admit, miss my A-Team gun! lol

With a cold barrel accuracy was ok. With a hot barrel, it started to whip, and you lost accuracy. I heard the new 580 mini-14 are better.

Sapulpa has none. They should be able to scan the price bar code and tell you which stores has one

There is a guy in Colorado that is supposed to accurize the mini-14's. Don't know what he charges though.

I like the gun because it’s never really made any ‘ban’ lists. Mine shoots ok after 4-5 shots. Groups go to about 3 inches. The price on stabilizers have come down some

I've always had a hardon for one of these with a folding stock...but never bit the bullet. Going in I know they're not precision guns, but it would be a fun compact shooter I'd think.

Great price if you want one. For me there's no point..... you can get an AR kit for like $300-400 from Palmetto state that will out shoot one of these.

I've checked every store from Yukon to Elk City on I40 and struck out today.

Investment would be a reason to get one.
Might do better than silver at that price.
