    I really like the Mini-14. Like, a lot. I have my reasons...mostly a-team reasons.

    Don't judge.

    Seriously, though...what to you guys think about this as a suppressor host? I've never gone the NFA route, and I think this rife, equipped with an Aimpoint PRO and a suppressor would be alright, alright, alright.

    ...it's probably for the best that I haven't seen one of these at any of my LGSs...I have the weakness.

    I had one a few years back, mostly for the same reasons. I moved it fairly quickly as I enjoyed the ar platform much more. I tried to like it, just couldn't!

    I have heard that they have fixed the original accuracy issues, can not wait for your report.

    So many guns I like, so little money I possess. I could see myself buying a mini. And yes, once the bug's bitten, succumbing to scratching that itch is only a matter of time. :D

    I like it! In a sea of ARs, it will stand out. Like Blue Falcon said though, I would love to see if they fixed their accuracy problems.

    My brother likes them a lot I think he has 2 or 3 of them. Ive shot them but just never could get myself to buy one of my own. However they are nice and reliable with the Ruger mags...

    Looks like a baby M1A. I like it.

    Well, it'll fit right in then. ;)

    I like mine. It's not threaded for a suppressor though. I need to take care of that!

    I have to admit I haven't really looked at it. But now I have, it Kinda reminds me of the Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM 16. The price has just made it a low priority, especially since I usually spend my "gun" money on pistols. But I have to admit that mini-14 deserves a closer look.

    I have one and I like it. My only complaints are that mags are still expensive & the rifle is too compared to an AR. It doesn't look like an evil rifle though.

    I've had several and they are good solid guns. For NFA use, check out the video that TFB did on the mini-14 in 300 blackout.

    Link?

    I was just comming back to say I might consider one if they came in 300 Blackout.
