I have tried just about every brand of mag that fits the Mini. I think all but the Ruger brand when into the circular file. I got lucky up at Cabela's in Hamburg, Pa on a visit. They had 30 round Ruger's for about $20, bought a bunch. Funny, someone mentioned that they hadn't bought an AR until O'Malley told them they couldn't. Same with me, I went out and bought AR's. Love both.
Slickguns had these two ads last night ...

Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle for $700

I like my Mini-14 (also a Ranch Rifle, probably spent $630 - typical sales price) but it's not competitively priced insofar as a performance/price ratio - even by Ruger (which has to deal with a larger market of other vendors on the AR-15 side). The Mini-14 is plenty fun to shoot, but it is mag sensitive, a 2-3 MOA rifle at best, and less versatile in customizing (or adding optics).

Nice! Looks like my set up except I have Stainless barrels on both of mine. If I knew how to upload pics to her I would share. I keep getting an error when I try though.
