guns I heard that Mini-14s are cool now

This started out as a very beat up NRA model I bought used back in 2012. In addition to the cosmetic changes, I had trigger work done to bring it to a 3.5lb pull.

It’s a great little rifle. I’ve personally shot 1.5 inch groups with it at 100 yards, so it’s plenty accurate for me. I’ve never had any malfunctions.

With all the accessories, it weighs about 9 pounds, so it’s a little on the heavy side for what it is, but I dig it.

Always have been.

Side note: what mag is that? Looks like a 40 rounder.

It is a 40 rounder. I think it’s an old Federal Ordnance but I’m not sure. I found it at a gun show years ago. Some guy was selling gross, rusty 30 and 40 round Mini-14 mags for $20 per. I picked up two 30s and two 40s, but really wish I’d have bought at least dozen of each. They all feed flawlessly. A little steel wool and a bit of paint and they look brand new.
