Here's my three amigos... I started first with the AR15, purchased one built for me, then I build one from scratch, then fell in love with the M&P 15/22 and you guys know the rest.. I'd have to say if I were casted in the series "Walking Dead" it would been a very shot series. All Zombies dead... yea, right..... Enjoy..

I've owned a Ruger Mini-14 (SS) since '09 and replaced the wooden furniture with a Tapco stock and handguard.

I just shook hands yesterday on a deal for a '72 vintage Colt AR15 SP-1 in very, very good condition...will be picking it up next week

The wife thinks that AR's look like killing machines and didn't want me to get one, so I bought a Ruger mini-14 and an ATI stock that I purchased directly from Ruger (it has a Ruger logo on it, I believe). Bought about half a dozen 20 round magazines to go with it.

LOL...I don't think she's gonna like the transformation.

Wow, I had no idea you could use clips in a Mini-14. Are they en-bloc or stripper clips?

I got lucky and was able to get the M & P 15 first, the store had just received it that morning. Later after looking at S &W site I found the M & P 15-22 I wanted and called the family owned store I bought the 15 from and asked them to order that model and was told she just got off the phone and the exact model was due in two days from now so I bought it lol.

Curious; Why didn't you just get a .22lr conversion kit?

Curious; Why didn't you just get a .22lr conversion kit?

Just guessing, but for me it was:
Convenience of having two rifles
Ease of use (no swapping BCG)
Correct twist rate for accuracy
No rimfire/blowback crud in the FCG
Functioning last round hold open/bolt release
etc.

Yep...this misnomer has pervaded the gun culture for years (with a lot of help from television and Hollywood.) I was at a gun show last weekend and as soon as I walked through the door I saw a huge bannered table advertising "Cheap Clips." When Iwalked over to see, all I saw were cheap magazines...had to laugh.

Have you seen the latest Glock sites? They're all the rage!

O.K., so I'm a dumbass. They are magazines.

 

[Gatillo]

Nah, your no dumbass. It's just been one of those popular culture brainwashing things. I know the most intelligent gunowners that should know better (they actually own rifles with both systems!) that say the same thing all the time.

I think it was Cuba Gooding, Jr. that started it back in the day in the movie, The Boys in the Hood.

Actually, stripper clips are used to fill Mini14 magazines, but you already know that.

Do you mean sights?

 

[Gatillo]

Di you mean sights?

Dammit, I meant sites! It's a site about sights.

yep all of the above and I always have believed a designed part works better in 99% of the time with a few exceptions to the rule.
