My new Mini -14 I gotwith 2 30 round mags (gives me a total of 5 30 's,2 20's,a 10 and a 5)I picked up for 500 4x Swift scope inc..Great deal.Supplements my Witness .45 and my Bersa .380 quite nicely. Anyone letting go of some .223 ammo I only had 60 rnds.I had a Mini -14 years ago but had to sell but kept the mags I had and cleaning kit and 60 rnds of .223.I have now to many empty magazines.....Need to go shoot this thing.

Had to have the Army air drop in assorted hair products after a firefight.Nothing worse than going into a contant or hot LZ with helmet hair....What would the NVA think??

I was 18 when I went.We turned in our muskets and powder horns when we got there and they gave us real ones.I do like the Mini -14 however great little .223.



Yours truly and my M-60 mad minute shooting up the tree line around the firebase.They made me put on a helmet.

Looks like back in the day when the Enemy entered base assaulting troops they didn’t leave alive. If only… Instead they will give this bastard terrorist from Ft. Hood rights, an H1N1 vaccine, his own cell, cable TV and better food than the troops on the front lines. Hope he’s violated like you can’t speak of with he gets to Kansas.

You got that right...Why we tolerate these people is the problem not guns.Anyway Off topic... When we caught NVA We let the S.Vietnamese deal with them and they didn't have to follow our rules.

Anyway we are going to have to seriously get prepared to protect our rights and the Constitution form those that think it means nothing.....Now of course the Mini-14 is a varment gun or for home protection ya know!

Honestly, I had no chance of makin a comment on your hair bein perfect in combat. We got some really quick folks here!

Great pics! I didn't see anything like that on facebook. One day I'll learn how to scan my pics and post some... I never had a good hair day, though.

I think Deros intends the hypothetical home invader to *shite* himself and run away crying. No need to shoot em when they do that. ;)

If need be it will work fine.I also have a full lenth black leather duster that with the stock folded slings quite well under that coat.Would that then count as a concealed pistol.

That's a good question. We need advice on this. :p
