I bought a new Mini-14 today from a small local gun shop. He didn't have it in stock but said he can get it from his distributor in two days. It's Model 5817, also known as the KMINI-14/20P. All stainless, 18.5" barrel, black synthetic stock. Comes with one 20 round Ruger mag.
I've owned other Minis before and I can't wait to get this one out on the range. I think, but am not sure, that Ruger ships these with both rings and a short picatinny rail which can be mounted using pre-drilled and tapped holes on the receiver. Obviously you use one or the other, not both!
I'm thinking about trying a holo/red dot on it. Any thoughts about that, anyone?
