Can anyone recommend a .223 semi auto rifle, that's not banned in California?
It will do the job. If someone tells you that "I had one. It was so inaccurate... " They did not cut the barrel down so their experience is irrelevent.
Unless you absolutely positively HAVE to have a .223, why not consider an SKS, Yugo or other flavor? The 7.62 x 39 has a greater range than the .223/5.56 and ammo is cheaper and plentiful.
IMHO the mini-14 will in fact get the job done. I agree with most that for the money there are better values available given price and performance. But with the limited options available to those trapped behind enemy lines in Ca. the mini-14 is something that they can in fact make work.
Round these parts, 7,62x39 runs about $80 per 1000 for russian ammo, and about $95-110 for .223I have a 7.63 X 39 rifle, and as much as I love it, I would disagree
Ahhhhh.No..... the .223 has a greater range than the 7.62x39 easily. Ballistic damage done by the 7.62 @ 200 - 250 yrds is greater...but AR's win beyond that range EASILY....
Then why are most of the HighPower competitions won by AR's? I have not heard of one highpower competition won with a 7.62x39?
I can't get to that website right now either, so I'll take your word for it. By "highpower competitions" you mean the ability to PUNCH HOLES IN PAPER? Granted, the AR is a more accurate weapon than the the AK, (and also more prone to malfunction) but I don't think that is what we're talking about. I thought we're talking about terminal ballistics at longer ranges-ie killing power.
