Mini 14 beats an AR15 any day

[fmj50]

Accuracy is as good with a Mini with a barrel stabilizer out to 300 yards.
Now you will say that it has to have that stabilizer and I will say you have to have that dust cover and forward assist.
The Mini action reliability is proven.
The Mini also has an all stainless steel version for superiority in all weather.
I like both but in a shtf scenario when reliability and practicality are priority, I will grab my Mini first.

Just look

And if needed I can make it 'look' tame enough as to not get a 2nd look from even the witch Fienstien.

I look at that picture and it kind of reminds me of an SKS. You have inspired me to shoot my M1A this weekend though, so thanks.

Mini-14.

I had a nice Oklahoma State Patrol Mini-14 GB in the '80s, I sold it when I got my CAR15, never looked back.

Isn't there already a place on this forum somewhere for advertising?

Just look

Everything about this rifle screams "tapco" to me... in case you didn't know, Tapco is a waste of money (IMO, of course...).

Oh...no...Fienstien will blow a gasket over that monstrosity...it has the things in the front that go up.

I think she called them flash silencers...anyways it makes it work like a laser that has the impact of a nukulear esplosion.

He just chose the wrong configuration for his mini..... ( I still grab an AR far more often than a mini but each tool has it's place)

Mini 14: piss poor bastardization of a rock solid, accurate main battle rifle.
Spotty reliability, minute of man accuracy unless modified, expensive mags, limited options on replacement parts and aftermarket enhancements. Never adopted by any military.
The only thing that kept the paperweight in production was the fact Ruger practically gave them away to LE agencies.
AR platform: precision weapon platform of innovative design. MOA or less capability of most renditions out of the box. Extremely reliable with reasonable maintenance, easily worked on by the average Joe, wide variety of enhancements and parts and available all over. Cheap mags. Easily adaptable to many configurations from long range precision rifle to large pistol. Adopted by majority of NATO nations as standard service rifle, US time of service close to 50 years.

Mini 14 = 2.5 hp Tecumseh lawnmower engine
AR platform = Small Block Chevy engine





Even they could never hit anything with them....

Pretty sure burt wins.
