The action is a copy of a garand, so quite similar looking.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)
Then why didn't they call it a 'Mini1'?The action is a copy of a garand, so quite similar looking.
Because it's a shrunk M14, which is itself based on the M1 action.Then why didn't they call it a 'Mini1'?
Um. the AC-556.Worst part, didn't they make some full auto versions.
They did not want people to think he killed anyone. Therefore a rifle in name only.Mini 14
I believe in scenes where he actually fired he used a 9x19 1911 since 45 blanks are crappy. In scenes where he didn't fire, they swapped for a 45.His taste in cars was much better. The 45 not with standing.
One of those Spanish 1911 copies in 9mm that eliminated the grip safety. Star Modeleo B or whatever they are called. Same deal as Samuel L. Jackson's character in Pulp Fiction.I believe in scenes where he actually fired he used a 9x19 1911 since 45 blanks are crappy. In scenes where he didn't fire, they swapped for a 45.
got one, 584 series, warranty replacement of a 582, and it's actually not too bad...degassed, bedded, and the later taper barrel with a muzzle brace...but yeah, that's funny. Prior to last cleaning it started stringing shots big time....and prior to putting a smaller gas bushing (stock is .085", I go with .03"-.04"), the harmonics will start up and the whole thing will start this tinnitus sound. Buffers can help, but I hear they can also mess things up. It's a violent little gun, I broke reticles on 2 scopes that other 5.56's handle just fine, finally went with a Leupold 2-7. Best fun is whacking a shooter 6 lanes away with the brass, and getting to sweep every station to your right, and clear most of the tables.
Yeah, after I posted this I thought "hmm, I think it was a Star Model B." Good call.One of those Spanish 1911 copies in 9mm that eliminated the grip safety. Star Modeleo B or whatever they are called. Same deal as Samuel L. Jackson's character in Pulp Fiction.
Front 1911 buffer at the gas pipe causes issues. You only want a reduced gas port bushing or an adjustable gas block at the front. 1911 buffer at the rear of the operating rod guide makes a world of difference with the reduced gas from the front end to not beat the action to death.

rumor has it that the old barrels would warp so bad when hot and throw off accuracy that turning the rifle 90 degrees and spraying spent cartridges at the bad guys would be more effective. A-team never learned this trick.Front 1911 buffer at the gas pipe causes issues.

The old barrels were the same as M16A1 barrels. The issue was barrel whip exacerbated by the operating rod impact on the gas block shearing against the gas port bushing. The GB models with a muzzle device and the sight/bayonet lug assembly mid barrel were weighted and stiffened sufficiently to maintain better accuracy. The 581+ series produced after 2005 changed to a heavier flanged barrel at the gas block to eliminate the whip increasing shearing action on the bottom of the barrel at the gas bushing and change it to an even impact around the barrel.rumor has it that the old barrels would warp so bad when hot and throw off accuracy that turning the rifle 90 degrees and spraying spent cartridges at the bad guys would be more effective.

Yes they did. We had several AC556F's in our armory. Unfortunately they were less than reliable and finding decent magazines was difficult.Worst part, didn't they make some full auto versions.
Older model before they cheaper out on the sitesThanks. 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)
Ac 556 thinking this will be my first MGWorst part, didn't they make some full auto versions.
He holds it like he actually can shoot.Saw this a few weeks ago, curious to know what it is. Looks like a M1 carbine in ways. Thanks

Ruger hasn't made AC556 spares in over 10 years and no longer has any old stock.Ac 556 thinking this will be my first MG
Yeah but only for foreigners of little worth....Worst part, didn't they make some full auto versions.
