Did a bunch of up drills (dry fire) with this weapon today. My work gun is similarly outfitted with a LPVO but of much lesser quality. Muscle memory is close enough to translate

Here are 65 brand new Colt Enhanced Patrol Rifles that will be replacing our serviceable, but dated. Mini-14’s.

Optics are up to the individuals.
Stay safe.
Holy crap, you all have been running Mini 14s???

Our local sheriff’s office (A good-sized agency, authorized at around 1,400 sworn) has been running the Mini-14 in patrol cars since the 1980’s. My office has used them since the mid-1990’s. Obviously the terminal effects on the suspect would be identical with both the AR-15 and Mini-14 in 5.56/.223, but the more ergonomic and versatile AR finally won out for us over the trusty old standby.
We ended up trading the Mini’s in to the Arizona-based dealer who brokered the AR purchase and we were allowed to individually buy the trade ins back at their cost. I picked up this unissued and unfired (by us) Mini for right around $400 bucks OTD.
It goes nicely with the 1990’s era .223 Ranch Rifle and 7.62x39 Mini-30 I also have.
Stay safe.

The AR15 is awesome but I have always liked the Mini-14 as well. Mine have always been reliable and decently accurate. The 580 series shoots much better than my 180 series. I have never felt under armed with a Mini-14. RM - you got a great deal!

If not, let us know if it shoots as nicely as it looks.

Here's mine in action, looks different now recently added a burris droptine 4.5-14x42 to and had to remove my buis so it would fit.
Here's one I built as a MSR take on 1894 30/30 it's a 16" Faxon barreled 350 Legend, the scope is an older Leupold VX Hog 1-4X and the suppressor is a Torrent T9K using a Griffin Plan A taper lock/ minimalist brake. It ended up at a svelt 7.5# with the can and empty mag.

Armalite lower. 20” Proof Carbon barrel .223 Wylde, LaRue MBT 2 stage trigger, Magpul PRS stock, Duplin bipod, Leupold L/RT 4.5-14x50 scope.
Set up to shoot in NRA AR Tactical matches, but with an Atlas bipod and no-eared rear bag

B&T has a 5.56 can that's really affordable that I'm heavily considering that looks real nice. Mounts on standard A2 flash hiders too.

It's already got a Griffin Paladin taper mount brake on it. I was thinking of getting a YHM Turbo or Turbo k and putting a Griffin Plan A adapter in it.
Probably offset the cost selling the YHM QD set up.

I really am impressed by the variety of the GA mounts.
It's not why I bought a GA can, but in hindsight I'm real glad I did. I can put my bushwhacker on everything
