Instead of crapping on a guy’s new purchase, put your money where your keyboard is and go buy an AK then.
Well let’s just be blissfully ignorant then?

Id love to find some A team ammo that launches vehicles in a barrel roll.If it were mine, it would be "A Teamed" so fast your head would spin...

A certain person seems to give negative comments on anything they don’t own, little seems based on personal experience. Or intelligent thought.
Great gun, I enjoy my Mini-14 very much. Reminds me of the M-14 I carried in the Army, just lighter and with less recoil. Take to heart the comments about using factory mags. It’s tempting to try cheaper aftermarket mags, unfortunately, mostly a waste of money.
There was a comment about changing the gas bushing and adjusting the gas block, with a torque figure given. Keep in mind that would be inch pounds, not foot pounds.
Good luck with your new gun!
My former office had two blued mini-14’s that had all-wood furniture and a rounded rear receiver/sight that I had never seen before. Those were among the 65-ish minis I arranged to be traded in a couple of years ago. Those ran the gamut of mini-14 eras, from the two all wooden ones, to blued and stainless wood-stocked shark fin 190-series guns like my stainless mini 14 (195- series), to five brand new, unissued 583- series guns bought a just few years ago.I bet I have an older Mini in my safe then most of y’all. It a Mini 14 manufactured in 1976. I got it in the late 80s from a guy, for work I did on his truck. It was like new in the box.
I can’t say that it was very accurate, but 100% reliable, no matter what I feed it.
I gave it to my daughter on her 14th birthday. She thought it the coolest gift she had ever gotten.
I find it funny how some people will go back and forth over the Ruger Minis. Some love them and some don’t.
But then there’s also a lot that have opinions on the Ruger Minis that have never owned one.
When your new rifle arrives, go out and have some fun. Try different types of ammo to see if it likes one over another. But most of all, have fun. Then let us know how you like it.
Those older all-wood minis are neat little pieces of Ruger history. I wish I had some extra $$ when these were traded in so I could’ve bought one of the oldies, too.
Sorry, but the hidden cowboys in us want lever guns! It had to be the inner A-Team.This was like scratching an itch. I bought it because I always wanted one. Not sure why!
Maybe the hidden cowboy in me....

I had a Mini 14 for many years, and it was a neat little rifle, but I just never shot it very much. I finally sold it a couple of years ago.
Congrats and enjoy the new Mini 30!
Yeah, but then they wouldn’t be able to overcharge you for their proprietary magazines.I wish the mini thirty would accept AK mags. I could live without the hold open. Ditto for 556 w Stanag.
Thats why i do not own one.Yeah, but then they wouldn’t be able to overcharge you for their proprietary magazines.
