Purchase and Supply
Before the giant switchover from revolvers to automatics in the LE world, I expect that bean counters could get a decent discount on Mini 14s if they decided to reequip/update with GP100's as duty revolvers.
I know the local LE, picked up a consignment of GP100's and .223 Ruger Tactical M77 (Mk 2 VLE) rifles over the same time period, and I find it hard to believe that such a deal was not a consideration for the purchasing team.
