Mini 14 beats an AR15 any day

[HBARleatherneck]

How many mini-14s exist? Im guessing looking at serial numbers... maybe 700,000.

How many Ar-15s exist? Millions are made every year. I dont know but that says something. Or maybe people are telling Bill Ruger what they think about his Zumboing us.

Just a question: Why does the mini get accurizing parts but the AR has to be standard M4? Shouldn't it be stock mini vs stock AR?

doesn't matter. A $500 PSA AR can easily handle 150rds at less than 2MOA. Why fifty yards? Why off a bench? Why with 1 second between shots? How does this have anything to do with dependability? Under these circumstances, your souped-up Mini may very well be "equal" to an AR. But that's totally irrelevant. That's like saying that an F150 and a Frontier are "equal" because when it's raining on the highway in June at 7000ft, they can both seat about the same number of people.

Man, you just don't give up, do you?

Mini-14, AR-15... what's next? Maxi-16?

Because I shoot at Cherry Creek and I have severe spinal stenosis and need to sit.

The only reason the South even lost was because the Mini-14 was never adopted by their military.

I once read a historical novel about the Confederate battle flag winning the War of Northern Aggression and it turns out that all the South needed was some time traveling, racist, Afrikaners to give the Confederacy lots of AK 47s.

I seriously hate alternative history. Even the term is moronic. If it is an alternative than it isn't history and the rest of the world knows it as FICTION!

But the alternative North could have beaten the alternative South if some time traveling, Jamaicans had given the Union Mini 14s. I'm sure of it.

And yet ... Harry Turtledove is a nice guy.

If the barrel stabilizer works as advertised then why don't you see if Ruger will give you a contract to make them for thier 14's and 30's? [Don't forget me if you make millions]. If you've got a solution to an accuracy problem I think that's great. But I believe there's more to the 14's lack of mass acceptance as a duty/patrol ready rifle than a lack of accuracy.

Folk's that own a 14 and cannot afford a new AR-15 could greatly benefit from economically enhancing their Mini 14/30, but to hope for everyone to run out and buy something that no Military or Law Enforcement in todays world would ever adopt strikes of wishful thinking.

How about my AR15 with a can cannon upper shooting blanks. I'll lob cans of coke more accurately than your mini 14. I will however need more than 1 second to reload.

That's just funny!
