Radical Mini14 AR!!

[JOERM]

I kept the original parts to switch back to its normal look. Some day the feds will outlaw this because it has a Grip or what ever. Still...really cool that for about $100 you can switch from a "normal" rifle to a "AR". cool rig.


My mini has the synthietic stock..not the woodedn stock.

Pic of modified rifle is too small for me to view.

 

[Teddydog]

Agreed...I'd like to see a larger photo of your "after".

I've tried to like the Mini-14. I've owned two or three, but never kept them long. But a couple weeks ago a LGS had one of the new "tactical" versions for a price that couldn't be refused. It has a folding and collapsing synthetic stock, the new heavier 16" barrel and a couple of "rails". For $400 I couldn't leave it there. It is one of these:

No tricks, no gimmicks just plain stone basic and reliable rifle for me.

Looks good. I have always liked mini 14s and I have added a folding stock to mine along with my 10/22.

After the "Norway incident" we can't get a license on the mini14 in Sweden

I just replace the Butler Creek side folding stock on this Mini-14 with factory wood.

Putting a Mini 14 into a tapco stock does not make it into an AR. It just makes a Mini 14 in a different stock.

The only military to ever use the Mini 14 relied on the Choate solid pistol grip stocks.

Mini 14 in drag! Shame!

You can slice it, dice it, call it any name ya want... .223/5.56 is still a .22.

Featureless Mini-30. Delivering 124gr of 30 caliber corrosive Russian goodness.

Now... if anybody has some genuine Ruger 20 round magazine rebuild kits to sell...

 

[Badkarma 1]

Uh, just askin here, buy why not just buy an AR? Dale

Here's a quickie phone cam pic... my mini14 in a Troy Ind. stock set up which allows for AR style components.. with a Nikon P223 scope.

Oh ya... and I have about 10 AR's... this is just another variation of a fun gun..

I paid $400 for my mini-30.

1. Not everybody wants an AR.
2. In Kalifornistan a pistol grip (among other features) will require you to put on a mag lock. Google "bullet button."
3. $1K & up price tag. $1K for just the upper if you want 7.62x39.

In Kalifornistan it's illegal to transfer magazines with >10 round capacity. It's perfectly legal to transfer disassembled magazines as rebuild kits. Some companies actually offer disassembled mags for a few $$$ more, but mostly for evil black rifles and boxy black pistols. No Mini-30.

Ruger doesn't even make a 10 round mag for the 30 and all the aftermarket 10 rounders are junk.

 

[LouisianaJoe]

Fishslayer, I failed to look at your location. Where I live, we do not have the restrictions that you do and I tend to forget that some locations do not have the freedoms that we have in the South.

Maybe that is why I would never live where there are a lot of unnecessary restrictions.

i dont think he means "AR" as in AR15. I think he means "AR" as in Assault Rifle.

I might be wrong but i had to think about it for a minute myself!

 

[o3rugby1]

Nice looking mini.

Here's a mini 14 in BBQ wood.

I inherited a Mini-14 Ranch Rifle from my Grandfather when he passed a couple years ago, and it is one of the most prized rifles in my safe. I know it isn't a bench-rest tack driver, but for a Ranch Rifle it is a great gun. One of my favorite features on it is the safety in the trigger guard.
