They used to make a Mini-14 in 6.8 SPC... my guess is one now in .300 Blackout.

The only rifle without irons at the end of the barrel that I can think of is some kind of AR variant. |

The original GB model had the front sight further back from the muzzle.  Maybe they're making GB models. The PC series profile had the front sight right up to the muzzle.  |

Because at 7 yards, I want it to hit where I'm aiming, not where it wants to hit. I know other people have found fixed sight guns that work that way. I've never had any luck.

ETA: I mean I've shot other people's fixed sight revolvers that have proper POI. Then I buy one, go through 8-12 different makes, bullet weights, etc. of ammo and still never get one that's close.

I don't think it's a Mini anything. They have steel receivers do they not? If it's not an AR variant, it's an aluminum receivered PCC. |

I have a ~3 inch barrel 41 Magnum 657 (adjustable sights) custom shop special (round butt conversion) that is a joy to shoot at 25 yards. That's what I use to distract other people at the range. (Somewhere, I should have pictures of me shooting a4" 41 Mag in IPSC, and the RO has his head turned away and one hand covered the ear closest to me.) Plus, I've shot other short barrel, fixed sight revolvers that hit properly. I just haven't managed to buy one. |

So I guess this delegates the mini's target market to ban states. I'm seeing this putting a hurting on DPMS, Bushmaster, Rock River and other brands that offer $700+ rifles with less than Colt specs. I think BCM, PSA, Del-Ton and the high end guys will be almost unaffected.

They have gigantic (for the gun industry) manufacturing capacity. Ruger getting into the AR "pieces" business could alter the market tremendously. |

I know what your saying, but damn think how many would they could have sold at double that price if they would have gotten into the game years ago. These days everybody and their brother is putting out ARs. I think I may be the only one that doesn't have a machine spittin out lowers right now. Their name is gonna be what saves them on this venture, as I'm sure when deciding between the Ruger AR for 600 and the Anderson AR for 600 most are gonna grab the Ruger as they're already familiar with the name? Just my .02 cents. |
