How much was the stock? You don't add it into your price list. Good groups for sure, especially with bulk ammo. Not sure I would say $600 is inexpensive in this game. In fact its fairly close to the base model AR that has been in comparison in many of these threads. If it is a good deal is up each owner, but in this context I wouldn't put as an overly cheap/inexpensive rifle. In the end if you are happy with how it shoots its a keeper, be it better or worse than what the other guy has.
Hey Benzy
The stock was 48 bucks plus shipping , and was like brand new in pristine shape , SUPER SUPER tight fit . I wont count that into the price of the gun , cause i turned around and sold that brand new plastic sportster thing on the evilbay for a buy it now of 55 dollars to some GI Joe wanna be . Considered it an even swap , but I'm kinda wishing i would a kept it to play with it , I wanna experiment with some bedding options and i rather screw up some polycarbonate , than my new woody .
I guess I didn't read all the replies close enough , cause i missed the 600 dollar AR or any targets posted by them . If you could post a link to where I could get one . Around these parts a low dollar stripper AR still goes for 800 and up , and when i was weighing my options this summer , they were even more , and were few and far between . All the ones I looked at , were cheesy kits with somebody's left over , worn out , old haggered up parts that didn't work for them so they upgraded , and they all looked like they were cobbled together by 'Joe Dirt' in his trailer house . I even for a brief moment thought of building an AR , but for quality parts , it was looking like 12 bills and up-wards . At that price point , i can drop off my Mini here locally to Accuracy Inc , and get a guaranteed 1 MOA barrel upgrade and work-over , so I would disagree with ya and say 600 bucks IS inexpensive in this game , or at least in my part of the country .
On a side note CDNN has the over priced Ruger Mini 20 round mags for 24 bucks , and the 30 round ( which ruins the balance of the gun IMHO ) for 29 . Thats one gripe i have with the Mini , no inexpensive after market mags that work all though i never tried any of the knockoffs to see for my self . When I shot my posted targets , I was using the 5 round 'California' special mags , they seem to have a better bench balance and feel for any of you Mini shooters .
