I know that a lot of THR members have Ruger Mini-14s that they like for plinking, truck guns, varmint control, and defense. Let's see some pics.
First, my blued 182-series Mini-14, with an Eagle HK-style flash suppressor and front sight, and Brownell's Latigo sling. Both the rifle and the Ruger factory 20 rounder were law enforcement trade-ins.
Second is another LE trade-in, this one a stainless 186-series Mini-14GB. I just put it in the Butler Creek folder this morning. The magazine is a Ruger factory 20 in stainless steel, the only one I've seen.
Open...
...and folded...
Note the extra evil bayonet lug. I plan to add a set of 1.25" QD swivels and a sling. In this configuration it'll make a nice, compact, low-maintenance gun to stow in the truck on road trips.
Let's see what you've got.
(I would appreciate it if the Mini-14 bashers -- you know who you are -- would not crap on this thread.)
