I was standing at Ruger's booth when Michael Bane showed up to film. Captured the event on my FlipCam....and here it is for your readers.

Ruger finally jumped on board the AR train huh?! I think they would have done just as well if they had re-designed their Mini-14 to accept AR mags. I think they would have saved a ton of money in AR- design investment and retooling, but whatever, they now have a competitive piston-driven system!!!

Seriously that would have been a much better investment. With the money they saved they could have made the mini14 as accurate as an ar15. The Garand action is extremely strong and reliable.

the standard carrier that comes with the Colt LE6920 has an unshrouded firing pin so should not be a big deal.

Ive heard criticism that the Ruger has an unshrouded firing pin and i was just wondering what the downside is to that?

[stchman]

Ruger re-tooled the Mini-14 line and they are now really accurate.

[disturbedone5009]

Ruger makes 5 and 20 round mags for the mini 14 but there are after market mags but they don't function well in the mini for some reason.

I shot a friend's mini the other day and like it....easy to use, no recoil ,.....nice....they need to make a larger clip for it perhaps...I mean more widely available yes?

I wish LaRue would have made a floating upper receiver that is compatible with the gas piston......or is the pre existing 16 and 20 inch LaRue compatible already...?
