Any experience/opinions on Mini 30 (not Mini 14)? I know you love your AR but not interested. I have an AR and it is a pretty good collector of gun gunk. LOL.
Research so far-- Gets hot and loses accuracy. Doesn’t like cheap steel case ammo.
Thanks.
I have an older one and I like it a bunch. I have never had any issues at all. I actually bought it during the Florio AR ban cause I couldn’t get an AR.
Just bought one, first shots will be tomorrow morning.
If Ruger made the Mini 30 in 308, I’d get one in a heartbeat. But, they went with a commie cartridge that does not perform much better than the 150 year old Winchester 30-30.
Shooting the commie cartridge in semi auto is a hoot. Brings a smile to my face.
Ran 40 rounds of Republic brass case, no issues.
20 rounds of Barnaul steel case, no issues.
40 rounds of Tulammo soft point, 2 FtoF.
Next weekend will be, Belom brass case FMJ and Tulammo FMJ.
Shot a friends Mini 14 that had no brake and it had a strong recoil, I picked up the mini 30 stainless with brake and it was softer shooting than the 14 without.
