Good advice so far.
Trust me on this: before you do anything, go to the following site and read:www.perfectunion.com/forums/index.php?s=de0aa71cdfe4941b7a855d8253472e3c&showforum=8. These guys know their Minis, and have been there/done that. I guarantee that you will be pleasantly surprised at how a little, inexpensive tinkering, and judicious selection of accessories, will improve your Mini. To take just one example, they are on to a particular muzzle brake that dramatically reduces group size, and it's quite inexpensive. |

I have the flashider shown above with the ring around the front sight post. It is much easier to see than just the post...
The stupid flip up rear sight and the stock are things I've yet to change on my ranch rifle... The hardest thing to find are decent mags. Don't waste your money on USA, Western, etc... 250-300 yards may be a stretch without a little accuracy work... |

The Mini-14 is a rifle, it can hit something at 250 to 300 yards for god's sake. I also haven't had any problems with Wester 20 round magazines, they function just fine if you don't keep them loaded for a week and a half. I'd keep it on the range though, and just use Ruger magazines for defense.

Only thing I did to mine was added a surefire light and a couple Thermold Mags. It's one of my favorite plinkers.

The mini is a fine little gun, I suspect though that you'll dislike the rear sight. It's pretty cheesy. Check out midway usa, look up product #310422 for a good replacement. Also check out fourfourmag.com for good 10 round mags. For what it's worth I've never had any trouble with the 'junk' cheap 30 rd. mags, but then I wouldn't bet my life on them either.

Thanks for all of your info! I do have one more question though. Does anyone know if the mini-14 can be loaded via stripper clips with the stripper guide through the breech (ie with the mag in the rifle)? Thanks again for all of your help.
PS-- I fired 250 rounds of m193 NPA 01 Olympic .223 without a single misfeed, misfire, fte, etc. :grin: |

In theory yes. You will need to find a stripper clip guide which attaches to the side plate of the rifle in the spot most detachable scope mounts are affixed. These were once sold. I haven't seen them in some time.
