double post.

I have two Mini's. A blued 580 series with the thicker barrel, and a stainless 196 series GB with the factory bayonet lug and flash hider. I also have a Colt 6520, which has the 16" pencil barrel. I'm an average marksman, and have shot all three rifles in snow, rain and shine and in...

I bought a Mossberg 3000 (same thing) about 2 years ago. I've been pleased with it. Here's my post about it. http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-495505.html

Ruger shut down the week of July 4th. That's it. I sent a rifle back to their NH plant for service on July 11th. I had it back repaired by the 22nd.

Ruger = Excellent! I have a pair of stainless Mini 14 GB's that were old police trade-ins. One of them was missing a rivet that holds the heat shield onto the hand guard. Called up Ruger, explained what was wrong, and attempted to order a new hand guard. The nice lady on the phone took down...

Just for grins, I brought in an older stainless Ruger Mini 14 GB to one of the local pawn shops to see what kind of trading I could do with it. The side of the receiver is marked "RESTRICTED LAW ENFORCEMENT/GOV'T USE ONLY". Once the guy behind the counter saw that, he freaked out and accused...

Short of building one yourself, I think the closest thing you can buy today that mirrors the original concept of Colt's "lightweight, gas operated carbine" is their 6520 Gov't Carbine model. It has the skinny 16" barrel from breach to birdcage.

Or tell that to the families of the US Marshall's that died at the hands of Gordon Kahl and his son both armed with the older skinny barreled Mini 14's. Minute of barn door? I don't think so... Too many Internet armchair warriors that buy into the "mil-spec" or "they won't pass Pat Roger's...

That is one of the best interpretations of the AR15 vs. Mini 14 argument I have ever read.

Remington 788 in .243 with off the shelf ammo. It's been my deer and antelope rifle for the past 20 years.

mes228, I bought a 580 series Mini in .223 about 2 years ago, and it took about 300-400 rounds of "break-in" to shrink the groups to a consistent 1.5"-2" MOA. The only thing that I see wearing in on my rifle are scuff marks on the bolt where it rides back into the receiver. It never had...

well, I took the gamble. picked up the Mossberg for $225. the other barrel is a S&W. no biggy, as it's all made by Howa anyway. on the drive home, i pulled over and ran 3 shells of 2-3/4 Winchester Super X through it. nothing special, it functioned just fine. it's a nice tight and smooth...

You are right about the parts thing. I only found a few sources online. I could care less about upgrades as my intentions are to keep it as a KISS gun. I spoke to the gentleman last night on the phone, and he sweetened the deal a bit. He said he thought he had an extra barrel for it...

I was wondering if I could get some opinions on these? I was getting ready to pull the trigger on buying a used 870 Police for $279, and bumped into another customer in the store who mentioned he had one of these Mossberg's for sale. Took a look at it today, and it's in very nice shape...I'd...

The one I found in question is priced at $279. Not completely beat to hell, but you can see evidence of car rack mounting, and the parkerizing is really thinned out on the top of the receiver.

That's interesting. Does anybody know what price range a used 870 Police should go for nowadays?

Does anybody know when they started to rollmark the "POLICE" on the sides of the 870P models? I came across an 870, and ran the serial # through Remington. It is a 1991 police model, but it is marked as "870 Magnum"

Don't know about the round count as it's at a store. I ended up calling Ruger in Prescott, AZ and spoke to a very helpful fellow there. He confirmed that the piece is aluminum, and said that it was normal for the P-series pistols to do this, and that it's not detrimental to the performance of...

For all you Ruger P90 owners. Is it normal for the guide rod on these to gall or marr up? I understand it's aluminum, correct? I'm looking at a used one, and the guide rod is beat to hell.

I've read in a few places now that Ruger really pushed AC556/Mini 14 sales in South America, and that thousands were purchased and sent there. If this is true, it would be interesting to see what they were used for and in what environment as this would probably be the closest thing we'd see for...
