Why are mini 14's so expensive

[LoonWulf]

I've toyed with an idea of rebarreling a Mini14 to .450BM or .458Socom. It's been done before but it's not common and talk about THUMPER. I've got my Deerfield and with hot 240/270/300gr handloads it's quite a tool for short range hog work, but either of those is a step up in sheer stopping power. Not to mention being legal and powerful enough for moose to boot.

Something like that triggers my "WANT!!" -factor like few other firearms can.

Dare to be different. There are enough lemmings in the world.

A .458 minis been one of those wants simmering in the back of my mind....if the factory .350 dosent appear before i loose patience the, .458 may make a reappearance on the wish list. i know it will feed from regular mini mags, ive tried it, im not sure the 450 will

Would make for a great brush gun.
