Ruger will not, CAN NOT, make an M14/M1a platform. The gun simply does not have enough surface area for the warning labels that Ruger would want to put on such a fine weapon.

Very funny, very true. I was looking at a pretty S&W 1911 the other day, right up to the part where the dustcover said "WARNING Capable of firing with magazine removed" Hmmm, all these years I considered it a feature not a hazard. Are there really that many cops used to playing with their mag disconnect guns that shoot themselves with 1911's then say "It just went off?"
They already make the mini 14 which is a smaller version....
I'd by a Ruger M14 for $600-$700 in 308 as long as the magority of the rifle was a faithful reproduction kinda like the Norinco
People consider Bill Ruger a great gun designer? Every gun he designed was just a copy of another firearm and poor one at that. Mini-14 is cross between the Grand and M14 action. Mark 1 pistol is an almost direct copy of a Japanese Nambu pistol. This guy really did not come up with many great designs. He is no John Browning.

Gosh, feel the Ruger love
Yeah, those "Colt" High Powers were really, really expensive, and are really, really rare today!Back in the day you just try to buy a 1911 or hi-power from Colt with some extra cash back then They wern't exactly 'affordable'
If Bill Ruger is such a great designer, then why couldn't he make the M14 clone work? All the design work was already done for him.
Okay, all you anti-Ruger guys can go suck eggs. You lost the argument. Someone pulled out the freaking Nazi comparison. Since I don't actually see Hitler's name mentioned, you can still argue on another thread.During the 1930s and 40's, some Jews worked WITH the Nazis and their "final solution" by turning in other Jews and helping with assigning their own people to face extermination in the death camps. Their defense was that they were doing this in order to stay alive in Nazi Germany but does that really excuse their crimes either?
We are willing to criticize companies that prohibit firearms on company property, Wal-Mart for importing Chinese goods, K-Mart for hiring Rosie O'Donnel, Rosie O'Donnel for her views on gun control and so on and so forth especially when folks like these somehow threaten our rights but when it comes to what we like, and some folks like Rugers, we are willing to give them a pass on their actions. We make all kinds of excuses, "it was not meant seriously", "it was a wise business decision", "it was to ensure his company's survival", "Bill Ruger Sr. is dead now" (although I still don't see Ruger firearms selling high capacity magazines directly to the public) and so on and so forth. Excuses...
Ruger didn't really "support the AWB" but he could read the 10 foot high writing on the wall and knew dang well one was coming. so he got out ahead of the thing and made statements to make it seem to the politicians that he was 'not as unreasonable about things as his competitors"
SSSOOOOOOO , in all his wisdom he sold the Law Abiding gun owning public down the river . Shows he had no back bone to stand and fight . A voice as loud as his MIGHT have helped rather than hurt .
If I did not like the 10/22 so much I would dump it for a TC
