When Samson MFG came out with their A-Team stock, I bought one, and went out of my way to acquire a K-Mini-14-GB at nearly the same price as a new tactical one just so I could make the K-Mini-14-GB-F that Bill Ruger worked so hard to prevent me from owning because F_CK YO_ BILL!!!
...then they go and do this. Okay, now do another one in 6.8SPC, please.
OR! Now hear me out....you make a semi-auto AC-556..."pistol..."
It would be interesting if ruger offered the mini 14 as a pistol/factory SBR, although it’s not something I’d hold my breath over.
