  Now that's funny!

A mini14 can be a MOA or sub MOA for under 100 bucks if you do the research, mine shoots around 1/2" groups at 100yds with my reloads and 3 simple bolt ons.

But if you want out of the box accuracy, get a bolt gun, or an AR. I love my mini14, because its accurate and different.

So how many of the Mini 14 bashers have ever had one? I own one and it shoots just fine, I have a buddy that has a scope on his and it shoots straight. No, him or me haven't ever done anything to accurize them.

Why own one when you can shoot someone else's to find out that most of them suck?

If you have an accurate mini-14 without any help than you are lucky indeed. I would love to have one that would consistently shoot 1/2 MOA or better like a varmint caliber should.

There would be one party that would greatly benefit from that trade................and it's not the guy getting the Mini.

I can bash them all day every day. Mini's SUCK BIG TIME. I still have one and wouldn't give 10 dollars for a dozen of them.

Me personally I like wood stocks. I like the M1 Garand action and the carbine size. And it is a plinker with class. I'm not at all into assault rifle appearance.

This is kind of turning into the Ford vs Chevy thing. You got to get what you want. Shoot for fun or shoot seriously you decide.

I have never been a fan of the 14's. I have shot them and never really liked the fit of them. I like the M1 way better. That being said I have a scar on my right hand from one Most of the time the thumb gets it with the stripper clips. But it decided it wanted my hand instead

I've never owned one of the pieces of crap but I have shot them and cleaned them, I also spent 8 years in the Infantry and know what hardware works. I am a Mini-14 " Basher " . Big piece of crap, I did actually think about picking a few up at the local pawn shops for 3-4 hundred bucks, then come the next assault rifle scare. I could screw some moron out of 750.00 to 1K  a piece, maybe more. I honestly think they should come with a clown suit, so a guy looks the part when holding it. It is what it is but the Mini-14 shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as a AR15. The Mini isn't even worthy of the AR's shadow.

Then again,  that's why there's horse races, if we were all betting on the only horse it would be much of a race, to each their own.

I appreciate the offer but I'll politely decline. Now that I know there are people out there will to trade a really nice bolt gun for a Mini 14, I'll take advantage of those less knowledgable folks to fill my gun safe, besides this is an older 180 series that looks like it just came out of the box, one owner gun with maybe 200 rounds thru it. I sold all the other POS Mini's I had over the years and have gone strictly to AR's and bolt guns that I can trust to the broad side of a barn from 100 yards.

  I have owned and shot 3 of them. cute little plinker, very reliable, throws brass about 20 feet. Tried several loads all shoot about the same 3-6 inch "patterns" at 100 yards, about 12-18 inch at 200. Fun to shoot but not accurate by any standard I use.
for the record I don't care for AR's either.
