Do I want this mini 14
Not that long ago i picked up a few guns in a trade and one of them was a mini 14 ranch rifle. The gun appears not to have been fired much and is in great shape. I did some reading and found that they are not all that great for shooting groups or long range target shooting (this is what i like to do) Im not sure what to do with it on one hand i could sell it and make a little money on the deal and devote the funds to a different gun or i could keep it and use it as a sand pit gun. I am more of an AR fan than anything else but i have two of them and dont think i need another one. What might you do with it? Thanks for the input

I am always in favor of selling a Mini-14 to buy something better, which, in my humble opinion, isn't hard to do.

my mini 14 shot fine. they also have a lot of upgrade type stuff, folding stocks, hi-cap mags, etc. if you are looking to get rid of it, send me an email. people like them because you can beat them around pretty good and they don't look like assault rifles, so they don't scare people. i would keep it myself and blast some groundpigs.

There are aftermarket barrels and action tuning procedures that will make the mini's shoot very well, but stock you'll be doing good if 100 yd groups measure less than 2". I love my mini, but for precision shooting I use my G-3 or a bolt gun. You can also get Bullpup stocks for Mini's that are pretty cool.
It's easy to spot liberals-they are the ones who have no assets to protect and need every handout they can get. They have forbeyed themselves ascendence to a productive lifestyle.0 -
The mini 14 is a really great truck gun. Bounce it around all day, every day and it will still deliver. Cyotes and such have come to fear it's accuracy, even if it take two or three shots to hit a song dog. Still, money towards a new toy is also always a good idea, just don't get side tracked and let the dollars go for new drapes or some thing. 0 -

This is a true micro action scaled just for the .223 class of rounds and it comes with a set trigger. 0 -
I do not own a Mini-14 but, I do have a Mini-30. It is anything but accurate out of the box. However for less than a hundred bucks they can shoot MOA. Here is a link to everything you need to accurize a Mini.

When I go to the range I always take my mini along. It is fun, easy to shoot and very accurate.0 -
It is a [high cap.] magazine fed semi-auto rifle that escaped the last assault weapons ban (in most configurations).... I'm sure there will be another ban some day.... maybe keep it. 0 -
I always liked the Mini-14 just for the fact it is the incarnation of what the Ar-15/M-16 is not. A fully functional assualt weapon with WWII looks and RELIABILITY.
We have the second amendment so that all the rest are secure....UNK>0
