I really hated to part with it but I needed capitol to start on my wildcat for the Encore. Let us know how it shoots when you get a chance.

nice lookin' mini...congrats!

 

[Herr Shell Meister]

Range report is good... stock 5 rnd mag worked well w/ all types of ammo from cheap Wolf to Winchester rnds... the large capacity 40 rnd mags not so good... Sights were right on, right of of the box... i had a hard time getting the large mags to feed properly... if anyone has ideas on how to fix or alter the large mags to work i would really appreciate it... maybe bend the feed lips a bit ?

Added a Bushnell scope since last post....been a while so i thought i would show what she looks like now....





Target accuracy test from 100 yards... after zeroing in the scope...pretty happy w/ the out come...not an expensive scope but does the job !



Rad, i'm looking forward to another get together at your place... if Herr Mario and all can work out a date... :)

Its highly unlikely you'll ever get those 40 round magazines to work, aftermarket magazines in general are hit and miss. I have two 20 rounders that work well, but I don't know the brand. For the most part you'll need factory magazine for optimum functioning.

I know lots have cussed them, but mine was always reliable and accurate enough for me. I had ASI do some work this past winter and now it is just as accurate as any AR I've shot.

Nice gun! My favorite configuration, wood and stainless. Mine are both plastic and stainless. Ed

 

[Herr Shell Meister]

I also have an AR and it is lighter and easier to shoot and remain on target.... but... there's something about a wood stock that feels much better in your hands... and just looks better, especially w/ the stainless and wood...

Accuracy wise, at least in this case the Minni stays right w/ the AR even though the AR scope cost a whole lot more.... :roll:

I have 3 Ruger factory 20 rnd mags and a couple of the plastic mag pull's in 30 rnds... The mag pulls have done great at half the cost of the factory mags, mabey i just got lucky...

The stainless 40 rnd mags not so lucky.. i have adjusted the feed lips and still won't load even 1 rnd. I just put them on to take pic's of it... then put them back away in safe....

I also have some aftermarket plastic mags for the 10/22 and they work fine too. i have read more than a few bad reviews about those also... i guess it's just the luck of the draw..
