RE: Will somebody fill me in on the Mini14/Mini30?
Take the money you would spend on the Mini-14 or 30 and by a handfull of Military surplous rifles.
I about died the other day when I seen the price of a new Mini-30. I could have got 2 Enfields and 2 SKSs out of the same place with a few boxes of ammo for that price. Plus I am not real keen on mechanisms that have lots of springs and small parts.
