on the sling.

If I can ask:

I've always wanted a Mini 14 or Mini 30, but have been told they are horribly inaccurate. Is that true, or just a gun salesman that didn't have one to sell???????

ive heard the same thing, dont have experience so i cant say unfortunatly, but i seriously want a mini 14 too

I bought one brand new in 91'.It was ok. Don`t bother with any mags over
20rds.My stainless 223 ranch model was not as accurate as a russian sks
They are reasonable accurate.Meaning you can hit a human size target out
to 100 yards.The GB model is a much better weapon,however for the same
price as a Gb model you can get an AR.

Yeah, they arnt very accurate guns but they are really clean shooting and easy to maintain. They are very reliable also as long as you dont go larger then 20rd mags as Dweeb said. There are some way to make a Mini accurate by keeping the barrel tuned or something but I dont know. I like mine but I always prefer shooting one of my AK's or AR's over my mini.

I would pay for a GB model, but the problem would be finding one.

They are out there, but not too common. Right now would be the best possible time to buy them, since the AWB is gone and they are back on the market to some extent.

My Dad gave me this one, someone gave it to him in the late 70's. When I got it, it had a laser sight mounted on it that was as big as a tactical scope and probably cost $800 at the time. It's been years since I've shot it.

spend a little extra and get an AR, you won't regret it.

Or, if you really like the style of the Mini-14, just get the "Maxi-14" --- the M1A!
