I know, haters are gonna hate, but I had to grab a new Ruger Mini-14. Not crazy about the all black synthetic stock, so I'll have to decide whether to put it in wood, and go retro M14 like clone, or simply ghetto cammo the black plastic.
Took it to Mansfield on Sunday, and out of the box it was able to shoot as well as I do (not saying much).
They've definitely addressed the pencil barrel issue. In fact, with the newer thick barrel, it is actually a bit front heavy.
Shot my friend's HK45C a couple of weeks ago at MFS, and loved it. So picked one up as part of a package deal at the LGS.
Thanks for looking,
Chris

i havent gotten out to mess with it yet, shot a few rounds to check it out when i finished it and it seemed pretty tight. i still need to get the scope dialed in.

Guys that delivered it had a stair climbing/descending dolly that seemed to help a bit, but was still a ton of work
BTW bought the safe at Dependable Lock in Nashua - they were great to work with.
I've got a Mini with a synthetic stock, and bought a wood stock for it. The wood stock needs some fitting and is too tight right now, to the point where the recoil will cause the trigger group to unlatch and fall out.
So there's that to worry about.

Went into LGS to have night sights installed on my G19 and ended up with a G21 .

No worries. looking to put the 583 series into a recent Ruger wood stock. Midway has them:
http://www.midwayusa.com/product/86...mini-14-stainless-and-blued-wood-stock-models
"Designed for current model production, this stock assembly is an update of the original design and now includes a rubber recoil pad, a rear sling swivel, and the stock liner and associated hardware. Now you can buy a single part that replaces everything for one price. Sling swivel included is blued."

Needed an upgrade - Just delivered this morning!
Awesome. Liberty makes great products.
Can't beat having it made in USA
Seems anything else that the big box stores carry is all made in China.
Candelas brand is all made by Liberty by the way.
What's the fire rating on that model? Weight?

90 minutes @ 1200 degrees - Weight is ~875 lbs.
I am an old-yankee so hate paying money for things I 'think' I should do myself, but in this case paying for delivery to its final resting place was worth it!
I have a 582 series and that's the stock I bought for it.
Maybe you'll get one that fits better, but mine is too tight.

Some mg3 stuff showed up
AR looks good. What parts did you use?
spikes stripped upper,bcg,and parts kit
Rock River Arms stripped lower
YHM dimond rail
BCM charging handle
Ace skeleton stock
troy low pro gas block amd the barrel was a deal on PSA
Come on, I know a 12 year old girl that shoots an AR with an ELCAN on it, it belongs to her grandmother.
And, that's no joke either.
Very nice. What kind of sights are you going with?
Very nice.

Before and After
So I decided to change the appearance of the new Mini-14. I always felt that Ruger missed the mark with their design. In my opinion, it should have been much more similar to the look of an M14, than it was. So here is my rendition of a Mini-14 (with new for November stock, hand guard, and flash hider)
