Actually, Ruger threaded the Mini14 barrel at 9/16x24. There are muzzle devices and accessories out there in that pitch. They are a little harder to find. http://www.silencershop.com/common-barrel-thread-reference/ You can always call Ruger and double check with them.

What is it that Michael Collins said? You first weapon is our refusal.

"well regulated" means practiced and skillful. Think "they were marching in regular order" or something like that. The liberals/progressives/socialists/communists see the word regulated and they get all excited, but this use of the term has nothing to do with laws and restrictions.

My 14 year old was only taught a very basic outline of the Constitution at school. the only amendments they discussed were the 1st and the 14th. The government is training the kids that guns are not a part of a peaceful society. The 2nd Amendment is one of the clearest statements in the...

Wow, I thought I was beating my head against the wall contacting my Democratic "representatives" in Congress. Writing directly to the Usurper in Chief is going to leave a mark. I still wrote and suggested he read the Constitution and pretend it's actually the law of the land. They have to...

Don't let them make the argument about crime. It isn't. the right to bear arms is an absolute right of a free person. This thing started with the killing of 20 kids. The guy had to be evil incarnate to look six year olds in the eye and shoot them. Ask them is they thought it was OK for the...

I'm also an Appleseed Shoot Boss. There are a lot of good points here. The .22's are getting to be the norm due to cost of ammo and all the new shooters we have. I have literally have had people buy their first rifle friday night and show up on saturday. Most of those people have done great...

Either rifle will work, there are always a few AR's there. You'll run thru 400-500 rounds over the two days. That's why most people bring a .22. If you can afford it, bring the AR. You'll really get to know your rifle by the end of the weekend. As far as other stuff to bring, the website has a...

I juzt found mine at a gun show for maybe four bucks each and i bought a handful. I am sure that Fulton Armory has good quality

I would just buy some 2 round clips. Even better are the combo 2/5 round clips. They hold 2 in one side or 5 on the other. The main advantage when shooting for score is that your reduced capacity clips can be preloaded and ready to go so your focus can stay on the target. It is also faster to...

You should have moved to Virginia and commuted to Montgomery County. It's better in the free states.

Skip the optics for now. Get to an Appleseed and learn to hit things with your irons. You will also be able to reload and clear jams in your sleep by the end of the Appleseed Worry about optics later.

It sounds like the 1980's Romanian surplus that has been going around. Dark green-ish gray casings and 150 grain projectile? It's not terribly accurate, but it seems to go bang 100% of the time. It is also steel core, which limits where you can shoot it and makes it nice to have around the house.

Next is to get to an Appleseed and run the M1a all weekend. No better way to get to know your rifle.
