Is the Ruger Mini-14 Obsolete?

[OK Corgi Rancher]

Here is the problem, you knock anything you do not like but expect me to agree the rifle you like is the greatest since sliced bread and I am a fool for not liking it. (double standard much) I have my reasons for not liking it and that is my choice. Do not expect me to change just to please someone else. You like it, that is your choice. I do not. You stop trying to convince me and we will both be happy. Face it, a drag queen that won Miss Gay Oklahoma could not convince me that she was as good as a real girl either. I see the debate as about the same. Both are personal preferences. You prefer the plastic wonder, I prefer steel and wood..

And yes I know Mattel did not make parts for them, but it sure felt like it, and that was one of the nicknames it had back then. My favorite, though I only heard it a few times, was the Marine Corp squirrel rifle.

Poor Ken... Are you sure he didn't just shoot himself?

He might of if he happened to be Divorce Barbie's Ken, She comes with all of Ken's stuff!
I got cha now! Tactical means inaccurate! Ruger sure named it right then!

"Gee... It's almost like they didn't even intend it to be a precision rifle by calling it "Tactical".

A "gun snob" is a guy who thinks only one maker of gun is good. A guy who shoots better than most, can shoot well with any makers gun..... Except a mini 14!
Edited to ad "shooting fast and accurately isn't for everyone!"

If ego was dick there'd be a porn star among us.

Are you insinuating that a long sight radius is making up for something??

Could be.

 

[KurtM]

Ahh so we finally get down to this! Well, my sight radius can beat up your sight radius! Your sight radius's mother wears combat boots! All anyone needs to break your sight radius's finger is punch it in the nose... Did I miss any thing!

Do take note here however, I never said the mini wasn't effective. It has a pretty fair track record at car to car distances, and it's light enough to be shot one armed like Platt did in Miami, but I don't know what mags he was using.

 

[OK Corgi Rancher]

That must've hurt. Need a Band-Aid?

 

[KurtM]

No, but the FBI could have used a few...... If only they had had Minis as well, and a custom van

I bought a Mini 14 once and got a free pair of white New Balance shoes....

 

[KurtM]

One good thing, old Hannibal made it cool to smoke cigars again, a trend that has lasted and lasted! If only Ruger had made the Hannibal commemorative cigar, after all no one expects a cigar to be accurate, and they seldom malfunction or break!

Man! Some free New Balance shoes??? If I had only had that opportunity, I'd be a mini fan, instead of the dour, bitter, burnt out hulk I have become.
