the mini 14 opinions

Here is what I could never figure out with the "A-Team". They were a group of Viet Nam vets who were falsely convicted of crimes. They then escaped and went underground. So when your in trouble, and you don't know who else to call, you call the A-Team! Well, if the A-Team was that easy to get a hold of, why didn't the cops call them and just arrest them when they showed up?   Bill T.

My favorite thing about the A-Team was when they would use some flimsy piece of sheet metal or aluminum siding for a defensive barrier and the bullets would just ricochet off throwing sparks.

Ahhh, the good old days.........

I got to shoot "I love it when a plan comes together" Hannibal's S&W M39 blank gun a while back...it was one of the most moving and powerful moments of my life, far outstripping Tuesday's coronation.

BTW, did I mention I'm going to do a 2-day carbine class at GUNSITE in April with a Mini-14 Tactical? I want to see once and for all how it runs when compared to an AR. We'll be filming it for DRTV (Duh!). I'm thinking I'll run a Leupold CQ/T on it...

For the same reason 10 guys could square off against each other with full auto weapons at - oh - about 20 feet, empty tons of magazines -  and not hit a damn thing except some headlights. It's Hollyweird, man, Hollyweird.

I have owned a number of Mini 14s over the years and have found them to be extremely reliable and acuurate enough  to a few hundred yards.  They do what they are designed to do.  Just picked up a new Mini14 GB.  It is the new one with the 16 barrel and flash hider, but no bayonet lug.  Blue with black synthetic stock.  It is a very sweet looking rifle, but I have not had the opportunity to shoot it yet.  I had an old Butler Creek folding stock laying around, so I thought I would check out the possibilty of installing it.  After looking at it closer, it appears that the length folded would be shy of 26" minimum length by about 1/2 inch, so the folding stock is a no go.

An A-team moment that still makes me laugh: a waiter approaches Mr. T and asks how he would like his coffee.

"In a cup, FOOL!"

I was going to buy one until the prices jumped $200 plus in some cases for a brand new mini-14.  Locally in Houston I can't find one for less than $899!  For that price I would rather look for an AR-15, which yes would cost a bit more, but I feel is a better rifle.
