RE: Mini 30
I don't know about legality or price in Canada but one of the better AK's like the Bulgarian one, will shoot as good or better than most Mini-30's and is about $100 cheaper and so are the mags. Only problem is the sights ain't the best for a rifle. I had one that would group 1-1/2" to 2" at 100yds, with eastern block ammo, but got a case of the stupids and sold it. Oh another thing about the Mini-30, unless Ruger changed it the bore is sized for .308 not .312 bullets. one problem with this gun is it was thrown together to use up the barrel blanks they had on hand after the .308 XGI Carbine "SNAFU". Thats why the fold down sights on the first ones were way-off as they were still calibrated for .223.<img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle>
