OK, I know what you all think of me for doing this horrible thing, but I have grown tired of looking for a nice surplus M1 carbine, looked at the IMI carbines, looked at all the $800 PLUS gun show COLLECTOR M1 carbines, came across a REALLY nice early 181 Mini, BLUE finish, shiney varnish stock and WOOD handguard, and I still have a couple of factory Ruger 20s around here somewhere. Many years ago had a nice 1976 200th year series 180 that I actually liked to shoot, but sold. Is it wrong? I have plenty of Lake City M193 to shoot. OK, so it won't group like my Bushy, Colt, Armalite or Daewoo, but I just like the look of the wood stock and handguard and a 20 round magazine in it. I promise not to be weak again and purchase another!
