Hey,
I'm most likely picking up a Mini 14 GB (complete with the always neat LE restricted stamp) today. Apparently they used to belong to the CA Prison System. I just have a couple of quick questions:
1. The barrel is stamped .223, now the exact model on the Ruger site also lists 5.56. Most things indicate they even stamped. 223 only it will fire 5.56. Can anyone confirm that? I don't want to accidentally use too hot a load, plus the rule of only shoot your stamped caliber.
2. Which ammo is usually cheaper?
3. What tests can I do make sure everything is alright, besides firing it of course.
4. Is $425 a good deal? The gun shows very little wear and appears to have been an armory safe queen.
5. Any good scope recs? It appeared to already be drilled on the barrel for one.
Thanks!
