Default My Mini Makeover

Hey guys - first post in the rifles forum.

I know the Mini-14 is despised by many people (especially some AR owners) but I happen to think it's a great little rifle.

I felt like dressing it up and found one online that I really liked so I decided to re-create it. Yes - I might be crazy but hey .. that's me.

Here is the treatment she got: SCAR CQB Stock, "Har-Bar" barrel support / harmonic balancer, Leupold 4x28 scope, B-Square weaver mount, cheapo bipod.

This completely changed the look of my mini - for the better I think.

Anyway - thought I'd share. Haven't fired it yet so I can't tell you how much the Har-Bar helped with tightening the groups up yet - hopefully soon.

Next up: trigger job and flash suppressor.

Enjoy:

Thanks Rocket! Probably a bit overkill for a mini but it makes me smile a little when I look at it. Almost reminds me of the M-249 I used to carry when I was in the military.

It did get a little heavy up front (which the mini kind of needed anyway).

Anyway - thanks for the nice comment and Happy T-Day to all!!

I think it was a big mistake. But, as a fellow PAFOA member,
I will be glad to take possesion of the Mini to relieve you of any further embarrassment.

" is your scope on backwards?"

That explains why everything seemed so far away!! XD nailed it.. long eye relief for sure. It definitely looks backwards though but I am liking this scope.



rady8um: ha! That's awesome For that matter you better bring a truck for all of the insane projects I work on. You'll be doing me a favor



Thanks for the nice comments guys. Happy T-Day!
