Since the Mini-14 they used was fitted with a Choate folding stock, my guess would be compactness for bailing in and out of vehilces on the jobs they did.

The guns they had were taken in robbery / homicides .They robbed and killed several people at a couple popular shooting sites near the Everglades. They targeted the people specifically to get the guns to be used in the robberies.

Quoted: Since the Mini-14 they used was fitted with a Choate folding stock, my guess would be compactness for bailing in and out of vehilces on the jobs they did. I swear the one I saw was a regular Mini 14 with the old style wood hand guard. The one in the FBI movie was a full auto shorty folder. GG |

A ruger mini 14 with factory hi caps will do the job just fine for robbing banks. It will fire every time if the ammo permits it.

They show a picture of a Mini-14 with a full wood stock at the end of the show with a 30 round mag attached. I have the documentary on tape, and it wouldn't surprise me if they put a folding stock on it while they're robbing banks. Gee, would they do that to make it look more 'evil'? I wonder . . . |

Back in the 1980's the Mini-14 was dirt cheap.

The made for TV "In the Line of Duty" movie featured a full auto Ruger AC556. From an official account I read it was described as a full size stainless Mini-14 with a Choate folding stock and Federal Ordnance magazines.
