Because I owned one. Stainless with synthetic stock and 5 round mag.  It was a nice shooter, 5 rounds at a time. Nowhere near as accurate as an AR. Mag availability over 5 rounds was depressing. Ten round mags worked OK. 20 and 30 round non-Ruger mags sucked ass! I put around 2K rounds through it and sold it. IMO, a POS. If you disagree, fine. I don't miss that thing one bit. HS1 |

That's about the size of it. I have had a couple and they were nice little rifles. I got my ARs and sold the Minis because I needed some bucks. It is that simple. |

And how does that make the rifle a POS? |

 There is one in there. I love my Mini 14. Shooting is like killing two birds with one stone (bullet plus the ejected shell). |

The stainless steel ones on mine (above) work perfectly. You just gotta buy the right kind. I have had 40 rounders that do not work at all. I wouldnt say it sucks because of its magazine availiablilty. Accuracy is like an AK, but reliabiltiy (based mostly on mags) is poor. I love how simple this little gun is. |

Mini 14 is to a M1A as a R/C helicopter is to the F/A-22 Raptor. |

A rifle is only as good as it's mags. Shitty mags make it a $700+ 5 rd semi with 'minute of dinner plate' accuracy. What makes it a GOOD rifle? |

I agree about the mag issue, its even worst for Mini-30s, but I don't know where you are finding $700.00 minis. |

I have a mini-14 its not in working coniditon my fault, but it's a very handy little rifle, it's tough and goes forever with out any problems. Not the most accurate rifle but unless your shooting something smaller than a gopher it is just fine.
It's just a tough cheap rifle, I mean go find something better at $500 |

Was told at Ruger that "GB" stands for grenade launcher, bayonet. I've one of those myself with a folder. Unfortunately, it was moved to NV so I didn't have to register it (and all the black rifles).
