Mini 30s are better

why would i want a stripper clip for my mini 14 when its fully legal in FUAC land with removable mags to begin with ..

if they would offer a stripper to dance with my mini .. i might take that

 

[ArmedCorgi]

That's pretty cool. Always nice to have multiple ways to load the rifle. I'll have to check which 580 series my mini is. I want to say it's a 582, but I can't recall off hand.
For now I'm going to give Bear Flag Defense's ar15 loader a try for my fixed mag build.

I tried the mini 30 but it wouldn’t fire even one round of 556

223 / 556 are the most overrated ass rounds on the market. Garbage caliber

Boldest thread derailment/hijack yet!

My first Mini 14 was in 6.8 SPC! But if SHTF 223/5.56 will be the round more abundant so I picked-up a Ranch Rifle and a ARES SCR after that!

That’s what I was wondering

I was just thinking about a mini-30. I have no rifles bigger than 5.56. I’d love a M1a but to much $ for me.
My 14 jams a lot. It needs to go back to Ruger. How is your 30 preforming?

What ammo are you using? Never had a jam with any of my 3 Mini's!

 

[ArmedCorgi]

The only issue I have with mine is when using steel cased ammo, for some reason it fails to strip a round from the magazine once or twice per magazine. No jamming or failure to feed, just failure to strip a round.

I never use steel-cased ammo! I split a 1000 rds of 62gr Wolf with a friend almost 18 yrs ago from Cabela's 500 rds and a plastic ammo can $64.50 ea with shipping, still have half of it left.

All different types. No 1 kind works better than another. I’ll get maybe 2 fail to extract per mag. And fte I mean the ectractor doesn’t let go of spent case

I don't know anything about "ass rounds."

Enlighten us, padawan.

Our mini’s love steel. Tula works best

Works fine. We put an archangel stock on it. Shoots great, we used steel case Tula ammo.

.223 is a weaker round, it was made to wound and not kill. It travels fast which is cool and u can hold more. But it’s overrated as all hell

Are u shitting me? It would be the least abundant! People will steal that shit off the shelves in 2 seconds. Y’all love 223 but that will be the most expensive ammo when shit hits the fam because you all rely on it too much

And just how much 6.8SPC and 7.62x39 do you see on shelves now compared to 223/5.56

Please, please, please make this statement and be insistent upon it at Basic. If you're convincing enough I have *no doubt* they will issue you something in 7.62 or "better".

It depends on the ammo used. If using 55 gr, yes. If using 70 to 77 gr, no. 5.56mm of heavier grains produce much bigger wounds on flesh than a 7.62x39 would.

For realz?

 

[BDinPutnam]

Caution: on topic post follows!

If it isn't terribly expensive, it works, it doesn't interfere with sights, etc., I see no reason why you wouldn't want one of these. What's the con (other than more doohickies and geegaws on your receiver)? If I had a mini and you gave me one I certainly wouldn't just throw it in a drawer.

"It was made to wound and not to kill"

Don't let those fellows in Switzerland hear you say that.

I call bullshit.
