Unfortunately, political posts like this will get the thread shut down, so let’s avoid them. Nice thread, hate to see it go.i was thinking on purchasing a ruger mini 14 just in case the civil war does start providing the Democrats get back in office!! so would this gun be good in case of a civil war starts??
Well......since you asked. I carry a 1/4" socket set with breaker bar, adj.wrench, pocket screwdrivers, 3xflashlights, 12V compressor, emergency jump box, tire pressure guage, fix-a-flat, lugnut wrench, jack, prybar, hammer, entrenching tool/ axe, OBD2 scan tool, complete set of spare fuses, an extra ignition coil, one of each spare bulb for all the exterior lighting, an extra alternator relay, brake switch stopper, bungee cords, paracord, a road flare, first aid kit, a Camillus ASEK, SIG P6, 83 rounds of 9mm, Bushmaster AR, and 170 rounds of .223 in my van.I recall a long time ago someone said the Mini-14 is the rifle to have when you're away from your toolbox. I ask you, how many of us carry, while hunting or whatever, a full complement of tools and spare parts on our persons or even in our vehicles?
Domestics are screw offs, for the imported, the tough guys use their teeth. lolWhat? No Camillus Boy Scout knife?.....Scandalous!
ETA: The ASEK can be used to open cans, but how in the heck do you open a cool one around the camp fire in the evening?

O crud! Forgot about the Leatherman tool in the glove box!What? No Camillus Boy Scout knife?.....Scandalous!

Well...
A Self Defense rifle should be:
- Reliable
- Rugged
- Field accurate to < 3 MOA
- Chambered in a useful cartridge
- Ammo should be readily available and affordable.
Should also probably be:
- Light weight
- Easily carried
- Subtle in appearance
The 580 Series Mini-14 woody checks all those boxes.

Its got a bottle opener.
-There's always the P-38 in the wallet for the cans and any square corner for the bottles... .The ASEK can be used to open cans, but how in the heck do you open a cool one around the camp fire in the evening?
If one were shopping for a Mini 14, what would be the differences between the different series (ie. 580, 581, 582 and 583).
Understand, the "later" models are supposed to be improved in the accuracy dept. so assume the 583 would be more likely to be more accurate than the others??

Never leave home without a "John Wayne"... Don't really know how it got the name. P-51 on the key ring. .

They are going to need WAAAY more spaces...
At least in the "People's Republik of Lawrence".
We seem to be getting more of those types around my part of the country too. And I honestly don't know that the appearance of the rifles, Mini-whichever vs AR, makes as much difference to them as we've thought in the past.
If you are in the market for a Mini-14, you are in luck! Every year in the first 2 weeks of August Walmart clearances their prior-year gun inventory. Many of their stores will stock 1 or 2 mini-14s. It will be a plain ranch version with wood stock and 5 round magazine. Last 3 years in a row they have clearance priced at $399.88. It happens fast so check now to see if your local store has one. The price may update this week in the systems but not yet be re-signed. Have the clerk do a price check!If one were shopping for a Mini 14, what would be the differences between the different series (ie. 580, 581, 582 and 583).
