Grease the buffer spring... (reply)

Yeah, and if you put a flash hider on one, MAKE SURE it is pinned on, not just "secured" with a setscrew. Don't ask me how I know that.

Thanks again for the Cease Fire, Jason, and for not snickering too loud while I went downrange to find it!

Just sayin'... I have heard the buffer springs sound louder than the blanks.

Whjy just the other day I pulled ANOTHER piece of brass out (reply)

New ones are great. I bought one last fall (reply)

I think they have improved the accuracy and went to a faster rifling twist. I know I am a heretic but I prefer it to an AR15. Never liked the "toing" from the recoil buffer. The only down side is they do sling brass - just ask Rob Leahy...

Magazines: Ramline managed to make a decent mag that works (reply)

I have one of those. I took measurements and modified a PMag to fit in my AC556. I cut the feed lips a bit too far so it'll feed three or four rounds then let two loose at once. This was on full auto; mind you so it may work in semi. As prices on Pmags come back down to reasonable I may try it agin on a fresh victim!!

Oh, Yes and they have been retooled and are better than ever (reply)

I have owned Mini14s in the past, and wouldn't mind doing so now, but man alive, it would be terrific if the darn things took an AR magazine, wouldn't it?

like all thing tactical they have gone through a recent spike, but seem to be dropping in price in the last few weeks.
mags both 20 and 30 are now Ruger Factory offering....hard to find and usually more expensive than and AR mag...

Curious on availability of Ruger's Mini-14 or Mini-30s?

I have had Mini-14 a few years back and liked it a lot. It was stolen in a burglary at my house. Never did get it back. I am curious are these rifles either a Mini-14, Mini-30, even available these days. I have a friend and neighbor who has expressed interest in such a rifle. I thought I would ask the community as I don't really need or want one that much. Any information would be welcome. Have a good evening and Day. ATB A.J.-----
