Decided I required another Christmas present

Now my Garand has a little brutha... :icon_wink:

I have a feeling this is going to be more fun than my AR.... :cool:

Awesome.... you can never have too many minis.

You'll put out your eye.

The mini-14 is just plain cool.

BradMacc82 · Dec 16, 2017

I was hoping you got one of those .458 WinMag Garands.

Very nice!!! Merry Christmas, Sir!

Great little rifles for their intended purpose.

Congrats on your awesome Santaness.

She's pretty, I'm thinking about picking one up myself.

Niiice.

Nice to see the wood stocks come with a rubber buttpad and not the fake brass ones like the earlier generations had.

Man I tried looking up a value for one on those or even one for sale, just for shits and giggles sake, but there is nuthin.

14 and Thirty here...

Both sweet rifles.

Which need more exercise.

Just got done tearing her down and cleaning her.

Always am amazed how "dirty" new guns are when you purchase them. I know that the manufacturer tests fires them.... but really, can't they at least run a couple of swabs down the barrel afterwards? :sad20:

This is one rifle that I may use grease on, for some of the wear points. Normally I just use G96 to clean and protect, and a little gun oil... but have been reading about using grease in particular areas with the Mini 14.

MODS!

THERE ARE NO FEET IN HIS FIREARMS PICTURES!

willtill · Dec 17, 2017

Trust me... you don't want to see me feet... :lol2:

I am going to have to scope this one... or maybe a red dot sight... the rear peep sight is worthless to me. Ruger was kind enough to include their proprietary scope rings and a rail/screws so now I need to see if a scope appears in my Christmas stocking... working on that

Speaking of exercise, if you collect your brass, wear your walkin' shoes.

good luck getting the bolt back in. I had to wiggle it a lot to get it back in after cleaning mine. Maybe I don't have enough dexterity to clean guns.

Yes, it is tricky but there's a very simple way to get it in. You have to make sure the firing pin is retracted. See here:
