I’d want to replace the stock with a wood one but I’m not sure how difficult it would be to find one.
Edit: I bought the gun.
Not sure if it does anything for accuracy but it sure looks sweet
Hey guys, I’ve been stalking this subreddit for a while and got a lot of inspiration, I live in a ban state so AR is a no go for me. I recently turned 21 and probably spent way more money on this than I should’ve. Please check it out and let me know what you all think.
Note:
I’ve taken it to the range once and best groups have been with 5.56 55gr Federal American Eagle.
Winchester 55gr white box and PMC 55 xtac were ok.
Hornady Frontier 55 and 62 did not mix with this rifle at all.
An old timer at my range told me I would have better accuracy with .223 due to the lower pressure so I ordered some boxes to try that out next range trip.
183 series. SRO, that one rail not in black because I'm tired of waiting, pro tac. That's it for now. Considering a chop and thread for a full time supressor host. The light will grow smaller most likely, and get relocated and tape switched. Balance is still where it should be for the most part. For busting little fuckers chasing after my chickens it'll work. I'm a lefty so the light is set up for me and not you normies. Scored a mess of mags for a hundo (2-30,2-20, 2-10, 1-5) from an antique mall lady, on top of a handful I had on hand. I've got a bunch of 'tactical' rifles. This one speaks to me.
About to buy this sight unseen and would like some more info from you smart people. Will be my first mini 14 and I know nothing about the platform. Will end up suppressing it. Seller says it’s a pre ban government rifle
I had an LPVO on #4 medium rings that I took off because ejecting brass was hitting it. Had this Romeo5 laying around figured I’d try that next. Not sure when my next range day will be to test it out but I’m curious is anybody doing anything similar?
Can anyone tell me what stock this is ?
I picked up this 184 mini 14 the other day. I’ve read a few sources that say it could blow up with 5.56 and some that say it’s safe. I have an ass load of m855 and would like to be able to use it rather than needing to buy some .223 but I also don’t want the 184 series folding mini 14 to explode.
The reason I’m asking at all is because in the ones that said it’s not safe they didn’t actually talk about any experiences or show any pictures of a blown up mini. So it sounded like it could just be some fudd facts
This a 4 year old Tactical model 5864 dressed up to please the wife. Rifle’s inherent accuracy still waiting our contributions to catch up, but meanwhile….
Will an ACCU-STRUT make a difference?
This 300BLK barrel appears to be the same as the (also) non-tapered Mini-30 (5854) in OD and given the like diameter assuming same?
With the OEM gas block and an extended Accuracy systems firing pin it cycles all steel or reman ammo unsuppressed, and any new subs, even ‘meh’ quality (w/ can seems to like 190-200 GRN best for accuracy & eject profile).
Experience? Observation? … and thank you for considering
Guys would the cogburn stripper clip guid damage the far arm?
Hi all - I hand-load all my centerfire calibers and for pistols they just don’t launch the brass like the mini does. I’ve tuned and tamed down the mini via a reduced gas bushing but it still launches brass pretty far. 223 brass is also not nearly as inexpensive to buy as pistol brass so I’d like to hold onto as much of it as possible.
Does anyone use or have a recommendation for brass catchers that work for the mini-14?
Anyone have any alternative mounting options for a microprism? Cogburn seems to be out of stock for a while
I’m currently making plans to SBR my Mini 14 to make an AC556-style setup (Samson folding stock and all). However I’m not 100% set on SBR-ing it and have thought about alternatively shortening the barrel as much as possible, to then pin and weld whatever muzzle device and suppressor mount would allow me to shorten the barrel the most.
Would appreciate any muzzle devices, flash hiders, suppressor mounts/adapters you have to recommend.
I want to change the top rail of this rifle to be a metal one but I’m curious if it’s a plug and play kinda thing or is it rather difficult and involved of a process. Thanks guys
