Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
That is it. I am quitting this popsicle stand and moving on over to the Colorado Mini14 Shooters web site.
Can anyone help me find that web site?
This thread is a good example of what some of us do when we have nothing better to do or don't want to do what we should be doing.
Be safe.

I don't feel like doing what I am supposed to do today.
So...
What is a barrel stabilizer?Originally Posted by fmj50
What is a 100 yards iron sight test and how does it relate to the accuracy of a rifle?
Who is Tapco?
What is a rail over the breech?
Looks like a CTD catalog threw up all over it.
It's a BBS. You're going to need a 1200 baud modem.
Back when you could get a Mini 14 for $250 while an AR was $500+, I could see the niche for the Mini. I even owned one from 1983 - 1995.
But accuracy was abysmal. Also when the Chinese started importing SKSs and AKs that undercut the price of the Mini the market niche all but disappeared. The final nail in the Mini's coffin was the explosion of AR clones following the expiration of the AWB in 2004.
Nowadays from what I've seen the Mini is more expensive than a base model AR. And I can't think of one way in which the AR is not superior to the Mini. The Mini's one virtue was its price point and with that gone I'm surprised Ruger is even still making them.
Would you buy a Trabant when you could get a BMW? Especially if the Trabant was more expensive than the BMW?
For those who are too young to know what a Trabant is, here's a link:

How many babies can you fit on a Mini 14 bayonet? Feel free to post your pics...

Killing those cute sacred cows, one video at a time.
The myth that AR-15's are a flawed design and that we should all travel back in time and use the same action from the M-1 Garand/Carbine/ M-14 as it's a truly "proven" system is absolute horse shit. There's a reason the AR-15 has been in front line service with the U.S. Armed Forces for over 50 years, there's a reason the Marine Corps ditched the M-14 platform as a DMR platform and went with the MK-12 and M-110.
MOA accuracy, resistance to failure in extreme adverse conditions have NEVER been hallmarks of the Garand action.

I have to agree with the OP.
A wood stocked, stainless steel Mini makes a much better club than most ARs.
Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
I don't know about this OP. The A-Team used these all the time and they couldn't hit Shit with them. The stainless mags were nice though.
