Ruger Mini & Shufflin Springfield Armory Mini G

[G2]

The Thread about Bill Ruger and his guns got me a thinking…
I have always really enjoyed my early 1982 Stainless Mini 14.
Recently built by Tim Shufflin Mini G, built on a 1945 Springfield Armory Garand converted to .308 Winchester.
This gun has scratched my itch for a .30 caliber Mini & 308 SFAR.
it's a hoot to shoot, has the BM59 Muzzle Brake that works great.
I appreciate good thinking gun minds.

My Mini looks exactly like yours! To me it's the perfect look with the stainless and wood upper hand guard!

That Mini Garand is pretty awesome.

Does anyone remember the X-GI? Saw one at a Shot Show. I think in the early 90s
