I agree with Col Cooper, as mentioned in post #24 that lever guns are a viable option. And like the Mini-14 and M1 carbine, their appearance, to a non-gun person, doesn't make you look like a commando. |
Agreed. I own three of them, all with wood stocks. They look less "assaulty" with shorter magazines and even less "assualty" with a traditional looking scope.
And even less threatening without an 'evil' aftermarket flash hider.
The irony of course is that the Mini 14 has a higher cyclic rate than an AR-15, and the Mini 14 can be converted to binary trigger operation with a common business staple in less than 2 minutes.
And with some accurizing will shoot the same 1.5 MOA 5 shot groups as a Colt SP-1 or M16A1 upper.
