You guys might make fun of me for this, but that's the beauty of internet animosity. Anyone know if these would work on a 583 series Mini 14? And where to get one?

It looks to me like an older John Masen Co pin on unit. I believe they will fit all standard barrels models not the tactical or target models. However I am not a 100% on that.
Darn autocorrectAnimosity or anonymity?
No idea about the gun part but it looks cool.

Had on like that, wouldn't stay tight on rifle ended taking it off. Maybe with some red or green Loctite would help. or last resort epoxy.

I had one of those on a 181 series stainless gun. I changed out the rear sight with a peep and it worked well.
Thanks everyone, sounds like it maybe definitely might work. Now I just gotta find one. I really want a bayonet on my mini for no real reason
I hear they're good for fending off attack dogs, but couldn't say from personal experience, having never been attacked by a dog while carrying a rifle, with or without bayonet!
Be sure to get it on video if it ever happensI hear they're good for fending off attack dogs, but couldn't say from personal experience, having never been attacked by a dog while carrying a rifle, with or without bayonet!
Yeah, if I added some rails, so I could get a rail-mounted camera, I could get video if I ever got attacked by an attack dog, if I had a bayonet mounted! Sounds like a plan - guess I need to add it to my list of plans, which I think is in my box of lists.

Yeah! One of the nice things about owning a firearm, is being able to make it just the way you like it (and not having to worry about anybody elses preferences ;>)!
Well, I'd prefer to make it fully automatic with a grenade launcher...
I guess that's possible - just need the proper federal paperwork, so you can build a "dealer sample", or whatever they call 'em. Personally, I'm happy with an ordinary self-loading rifle; I hear that the cost of feeding an automatic weapon gets pretty steep, at 500 to 1000 rounds per minute!
