What is this rifle from the original Magnum PI

[chris_1001]

Ruger hasn't made AC556 spares in over 10 years and no longer has any old stock.

Has one in my hands. Only 15k. Tempting… was a fan of the show

Sure. Take my man card…

He holds it like he actually can shoot.
Cradled un the palm not death gripped with the fingers

That's because he is a shooter

Thanks. The front half looked mini 14 to me but I didn’t think minis had a receiver like that (never paid attention at all to mini 14s, not a gun that’s ever interested me)

Good....Keep it that way.

Well.....Tom Selek has been on the nra board since 2005....he joined the NRA when he was 8 years old.

The dreaded AC 556, or Not? Here is another NES Thread.

Again, it's under contract. Just like the Remington Mosin, the Ishapore SMELE, etc; It's not a "Ruger AC-556". It's a "French Mousqueton A.M.D." It may be based on Ruger's AC-556 design, but its different. Collectors see it that way and the folks at gun blogs who care about this stuff see it that way too. If I sold you a M-16 upper (they are available) on a pre-ban Colt lower, would you call it a M-16?

Mini 14

Well hold on... did he hit what he was aiming at because then it probably wasn't a mini 14.... unless he was aiming at the ocean

Save your frustration and just buy the stock for your 10/22

I bought one. I like it!

I met him there on my honeymoon.
My wife flirted with him.
Really nice guy; it was almost as if he was playing himself as Magnum.
