If I had a yen for a Mini-14 or AR15 type rifle, I think I'd try to get it before the November elections. One never knows what knid of bans will come down the pipe.

My Mini is not the ranch rifle so I had to mount a scout rail, I chose the Ulti-Mak rail, and mout the sight in the scout position. All in all, it's a nice set-up. At some point, I'd like to have a barrel shortened to eliminate some of the whipiness and improve accuracy.
