Wish I had never sold it. Collapsible Hogue stock, SS, and the mags were nickel or bright satin finish. No pictures of it though. I always get a nice warm fuzzy feeling whenever I see a clean one for sale.

Ruger AC556. Pre-'86 transferrable. 13" barrel. Single / 3-round burst / full-auto select-fire.

Reminds me of the one John Travolta carried in Broken Arrow.

Pass

Save a little more and buy an AR-15 Conversion.

I have a MINT early model stainless mini-14.....passed down from my grandpa. I haven't shot it in years...but its a beautiful gun. I always remember them from the A-Team!

Thats exactly what my mini 14 looks like...same stock and all. I just don't have the flash suppressor on mine. I have always loved the Mini 14, but prob more from memorys of me as a kid going hunting with it..and thinking it was the baddest gun ever made at 10 yrs old :)

My other guns. I am just not a fan of the AR-15's at all, I will never own one.

Im about to give this one to my little cousin. Personally I cant stand Mini 14s. But he'll enjoy this for first gun. Something he can shoot the crap and trash the shit out of.
