Straight 30’s are kind of a vibe. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Been a long road on this one. Bought a Tactical 300 BO with Sampson over a year ago. Did a Form 1 and cut it to 11.5 thinking Id be able to get it to run subs. Tried for months to get it to run 100% and it never would. Finally sent it to Carl at Accurcy Systems for a rebarrel to 12.5 and after I received it back I went to work... After alot of tinkering I finally got it to run 100% and to say Im happy is an understatement !!!

I know this isn't the first time this question has been asked, but I've been trying my best to search past threads for more complete info and keep coming up short. So with that said, I apologize if this thread comes across as overly redundant or well trodden ground.

I recently saw what i thought was a great deal on a Vortex Venom 1-6 ($240 shipped) so I pulled the trigger. However, I thought I had previously done research that confirmed this was a good idea, and now I'm coming up short. I've seen people suggest contacting Ruger about swapping the 1" rings for 30mm, but I've seen mixed results on using those. The one I purchased came with the cantilever mount, but I've heard those are useless for a Mini 14. I've also heard some people say that getting the adjustable gas block can help with certain mounts, but I haven't decided if I want to drop the money on that quite yet.

Just wondering (photos if possible) what people have used and with what amount of success with this LPVO. I think I may have made a poor decision and I'm on the cusp of just immediately shipping it back and going the scout scope route (seems to be the more popular/better option?) with my Hannibal rail (which if anyone has any comments on that I'm happy to listen).

Again, sorry for what has been discussed before, but any help is appreciated!

Scout scope is dope.

Hey just found this sub, was hoping more knowledgeable people could help me out. I am wondering the best route to put a can on this would be. It is not threaded. Does it make sense to have this barrel threaded or have a new barrel installed? Will i need to worry about gas issues?

MI’ve got a 189 series Mini-30, I’ve added the accustrut, added tech sights, got several mags and around 1,700 rds of a mix of steel and brass. I also have a lobo or a red dot I can put on. Would this be a good start for a general purpose rifle? My mini is my only semi auto rifle, my other two are lever actions.

Man, these look so much cooler than the little 10 round chodes! Just flew back to MD with a few factory 30 round magazines I picked up while on vacation in a red state. Silly rules. Anyways, I had no issues for anyone that is interested in doing something similar. Just double check TSA and airline specific rules. TSA really couldn't care less with empty magazines, and American Airlines just asks that you keep them "securely boxed" within your checked baggage to prevent them from moving around in your bag.

Next up: awaiting Form 1 approval for SBR!

Alright I have an older mini 14 for a truck gun.
After shooting a coyote with it this morning from my truck I am sold. The handiness was great

I have a straight 4 redfield on it now. I plan to upgrade. What should I get?
Mostly shooting at coyotes/hogs from 50 to 200 yards.

Would yall do any other after market upgrades.

Also does anyone reload for it? I want some accurate varmit loads, so far all I got is FMJ.

I held over and smoked that coyote in the body. He’ll die later by the way.

Had my Mini in 300BO rebarreled by Accuracy Systems and its on its way back. Looking forward to getting it back and running on subs...

I was going to SBR it until I mounted a can.

Still waiting on a couple of accessories.

- Mini 14 300 Blackout in its full 16" glory

- AB Raptor 10 7.62

- Acro P2

- Driven Arms Co x Ghost Mountain Group

- Reptilia

I only have the Acro P2 on a riser in that pic for nods.

I’ve heard they’re discontinued, am I screwed on finding one? I’ve been looking everywhere for one

I had read a few comments in places that stated that the barrel on a Mini 14 183 series was too small of a profile to chop and thread to 1/2x28. I wanted to grab a mini 14 and have the barrel cut and put an adjustable gas block on and run a suppressor. Is there any truth to it not being able to be cut and threaded, or just fake internet news? Thanks!

Hi all - my 585 mini has a bit north of 1k rounds through it and it looks like I’ve got the “bolt peening” issue. From what I understand this is a send the whole gun in deal - for those who have recently sent their minis in how long was the turnaround time?
