No rush though. If you see a better deal out there, let me know please!


That's a great price and .223 is a lot cheaper than .45 Auto! They come
with scope rings and a Picatinny rail you can use for other optics.

Will do it in the next couple days most likely.

I saw an article in the NRA rag about the Big Horn Armory M89 carbine
that looked interesting. If I was going to but an LE, I would look at
that one. The problem is it is 500 S&W mag so I might have to start
reloading to afford to feed it. It is a couple bucks a shot.



A 500 S&W MAG lever action probably is overkill for those Florida
armadillos.

Apparently I own the same Mini-14 Herring wants to buy, though I did
treat it to a trigger job and I picked up a nice wood stock which I have
yet to install. I shoot mostly Wolf Gold ammo through it..."brass" ammo
that I buy when it is around 25 to 28 cents a round. That's a lot
"friendlier" than "a couple of bucks a shot." I like the Mini-14...it's
fairly short, light, reliable, and with its piston-operated mechanism,
it doesn't seem to get too dirty inside. Sure sends the brass flying,
though...when I go to the public range, I try to shoot from a lane where
there's no one in the next lane to the right.

I have a buddy who has that stainless mini 14 in selective fire. He
has a matching stainless scope on it and wooden furniture tho, not the
plastic.

Unlike most people here, I do not bother the armadillos, possums or
raccoons.

I don't like the plastic either.

You can get a replacement wood stock from Boyd's starting at $129. I put one on the .17. Everything was a perfect fit.

I'll just order the Model 5802 with the wooden stock, will use the savings to buy a couple 20rd
magazines.
