Oh please show me that sand test with an AR15 ... please!
They show it in the full video, there is a link in the description. Without surprise it works just fine.
I will, it passes with flying colors.

Finally found it, and I am going to get another AR.
But I'll keep my Mini....
And my plans to buy an M1a are shelved also.....
ONe more problem I have with an AR is the front sight view, I can't stand it compared to a hooded front post, but maybe that will be a future project after I get another AR
Thanks guys, it's been fun, now get back to work!
I've got a lot of love for the AR-15, but in defense of the M1A, the Troy chassis sucks. It makes the action a shit collection unit, instead of being open as designed, and the slot for the charging handle is tight, so it looks nice, but again, makes it a failure point.Quote:

I kind of agree, never used the troy stock though, that covering the action isn't a good idea. I put on a VLTOR rail (https://www.vltor.com/shop/featured/...4-rail-system/) that would catch the cases as they ejected and lock the whole thing up.
Beauty of the AR, You have a hundred different sight options to choose from.....Quote:

I read that Eugene Stoner wanted a hooded post when they put the M16 in action but the brass said no to changing sight view in the middle of the Viet Nam war and that made sense.
Now if Ark Tactical still has the AR556 by Ruger in stock, what do you al think of that AR?
Sorry if this is a stupid question but is breaking the bolt catch a common problem? I've never had one break and I can't say for certain that I've never let the hammer go with some room to spare. Either way that's about a $10 part to replace.
I know he's just trolling but it got me thinking. ;-)
in regards to the last post.
the moral of the story is dont pull the trigger and let the hammer drop if your ar is unassembled or if its broke open shotgun style.

Completely agree. I grew up shooting my dad's Mini-14, never had a problem with reliability, or hitting what I was pointing at. With that said, the thought of the mini being better than the AR is laughable.Quote:

Convinced full troll in effect but can't help but add...... You know you don't have to get those fixed front sight posts.... Like except for bargain guns the trend is sightless and then add your own irons and/or optic. You do know ars can take many more sighting systems then 90s era screw onto the carry handle routes right..... Because the comments sound right out of another decade.
It's unfortunate that such minor issues "infuriate" you. I'd hate to see your demeanor when real issues occur....Quote:

Old news. Some of us knew that back in the early 90'sQuote:

Oh and shooting a Mini 14 is like schtoinking your sister...........it might feel ok but you know it is wrong and you don't want anybody you know to see you doing it.

But as an overall platform, just caliber selection alone leaves the Ruger Mini-series seriously wanting.
The mini-14.co forums must be especially slow today. I wonder why.
I thought this was going to be a "made you look" OP. Oh well. only wasted 30 seconds.
No wonder you dont like AR's, if I bought shitty guns I would share the same opinion...[ROFL1]Quote:

I grew up watching the A-Team when it originally aired. I just loved the Mini-14 & got my first (and only) one for my 18th birthday. I still think it looks pretty cool, but... I was lucky to hit the paper at 100 yards (certainly with no discernible pattern or accuracy), dealt with more FTF & FTE's than I'd like to admit, only had one 20-rnd Ruger mag and 1 30-rnd aftermarket mag which sticks bad going in and worse coming out, but for more than 25 years I never said a cross word about that rifle. THEN, about 7 years ago, I finally got my first AR. I still have that Mini-14, but it hasn't made it more than a few feet out of my safe since I got that AR and found out I could shoot a semi-auto rifle with accuracy, have far fewer FTF/FTE's, can (and have) afforded LOTS of magazines and really ENJOY shooting.
Given the choice of one or the other, I wouldn't hesitate to grab the AR and dump the Mini.
I've had gunsmiths that I trust tell me that the mini 14 will defy all attempts to accurize it. They can't explain it, but some fine looking aircraft designs in WWII era couldn't be made to fly well. They even looked good, so much for that old saw. (Heck, how about the T-tailed Arrow?)
Careful, he might try to buy it from you.Quote:
