My Mini-30,

[imarangemaster]

Well, missed having one, so picked up a brand new wood/stainless 585 Series ini-30, to go with my wood/stainless 182 Series Mini-14. Put an ASI wood handguard on it, to match the 182, which had a wood handguar from the factory in 1981.



I have a boatload of Freedom week Ruger OEM 20s from Freedom week, I had a Mini-30 back then too,

Here's the other two out if my holy trinity!

My 182 Series:



My 1943 IBM M1 Carbine:

Great minds, as they say .....

A Mini 30 set up with a left handed stock. The gun sat at Kurleys for +1 year while they tried to track down the owner, who had disappeared overseas, before giving them a price.

The gunsmith at Reeds in San Jose sold me this 1943 early configured Inland after the GI owner passed away.

I was thinking about getting something like a Mini 30 as I have become more interested in a regular type rifle to shoot 7.62x9, but never ran into a deal that inspired me to break out my wallet. Several months ago I scratched that itch with a SKS-M that I picked up for tiny money. I have a metric ton of AK mags, so it is a good fit for my particular supply chain.

You a lefty dfletcher? I'm thinking about parting with my Accuracy Systems -30 in 6.5 Grendel. It has a lefty cut stock. Less than 50 rounds through it lifetime. It's just wasting away in the safe.
