wlemay I agree that the factory wood stocks are good looking. Finding one is another story. They are out there but command a premium price. I saw one on ebay a couple of weeks ago that went for a little over $500.00. I happen to own two factory folding Minis. One is an unfired 184xxx series...

Quote "When the buzzer sounded I punched the target and knocked it over frame and all. I then drew and put two holes in the down zero area. The RO did not see it my way and I was given a five second procedural even though everyone got a good laugh." end quote Serious discussion but I must...

Mtrmn You are correct. It did start that way. But I believe a review should be more as to highlight the positive of a certain product rather then tell you how bad it is. Comparisons are good but there is an air of negativity. I want to read how good the product as opposed to how bad the...

Comparison It is amazing how a thread can start asking questions about a Mini 14 can evolve into an argument "Mini vs AR". OK I agree they are both semi auto 223/556. But it should end there as far as I am concerened. They are two different guns. I personally like the Mini platform. Doesnt mean...

4V50 Gary.......The stainless folder has paracord wrapped aound the tube. It really feels good. I bought it that way. And yes the blued folder does have the side swivel. According to Ruger some folders did come with the swivel on the bottom. A quick call to Ruger and they can tell you when and...

Mini I really enjoy my Mini's. My first one is a 186xxx that has been improved and modified over the years. My second one is a 184xxx factory folder that belonged to a friend that passed away. I aquired it from his wife. It has never been fired. Just recently I came across a factory folder...

Mine also came thru Davidsons to my LGS. Davidsons have a lifetime guarantee which is an added bonus................Joe

I too bought a SR 22 pistol. Shot 200 Rem 525 Golden bullets. Had 2 FTF but they went the second time around. The 9/64 screw is tight and I will check it after every cleaning. It is a fun little plinker and I am pleased so far. I also have the SR 22 rifle. Now I have its little cousin :D. Cheap...

Has anyone bought a firearm just for the purpose of complimenting an existing firearm in your inventory. This is why I ask. I bought a Ruger SR 22 rifle a couple of years ago at a gun show. It is just a fun piece to shoot and own. Now to the present. Ruger just came out with another SR 22 in the...

Driftwood.......I agree with your statement. I just assume unfired should mean "after it leaves the factory"...............Joe

OK I'll bite This belonged to a good friend of mine that passed away 3 years ago. I got this from his wife. I take it out once in a while and oil and clean it and think of him and smile. It has never been fired and I have another Mini 14 that I shoot a lot.............................Joe

Trading in a 22/45 ???? Two different pistols. Be good to yourself and keep them both. Joe

Breaking down the SR is easy. I mean real easy. No tools required and it can be done with one eye closed :eek::eek:....................Joe

Yes. The safety acts as a decocker as well. Plus it has a mag disconnect. No mag no bang.........Joe
