Apologies, not sure if this is the correct forum or not, but thought I'd ask here. My "one gun per year" purchase is coming up, and thinking about getting a Ruger mini 30. Primary concearn is getting mags that are reliable and are of quality. Looked online, only thing that came up often for mags for these guns that I found were made by USA. Not sure of their (USA brand) quality now, but some years ago, they were all crap. Any feedback would be appreciative. Thanks |
Well, I have all the guns I'll ever need, but... thinking about using the mini thirty to replace my AR for my truck gun when riding out on my property. I sold my last AK along time ago, but turns out I have a CRAPLOAD of 7.62x39 ammo that I forgot all about. Figure one thing I don't have is a small weapon that will fire that particular round, and honestly, always had a hankering for a Ruger semi auto rifle. Since I do go into town from time to time with the gun in the truck, figure the mini 30 would fit just nice in that it won't stick out like a sore thumb like an AK would in the truck. |
It sounds to me like an AK with a folding stock would be much better, but oh well. It's very easy to find quality AK mags too. |
An SKS might fit the bill rather well, too. TAPCO makes a nice M4-style stock for the SKS, they call it the T-6/Fusion. |
The Mini 30 has a .308 diameter bore, and anything other than american made ammo uses a .311 diameter bullet. Also, bump for more info. I have a mini 30 I got for free. |
