Mini 14 with Flash Suppressor

[BigPimping]

I have a Mini 14 that has a Ruger "Birdcage" type flash hider/muzzlebreak on it. I am thinking this may be a evil feature????? Any input from the panel?

[ar15robert]

Flash hider equals the 1 feature to make it an assault weapon.

Muzzlebrake is still legal

IMO be on the safe side and ditch them both.

Its evil. You need to take it off now! For every minute its on there 1 kitten dies!

Calguns chart

To answer your question: YES

See the chart, either page shows that any semi-auto with a flash suppressor would be considered an assault rifle. Take it off or swap it with a muzzle brake.

Bird cage is generally a FH.
What does it look like? Is it open ended? This gives clues to how it may actually perform.

It also matters what the manufacturer designates it.
If they call it a FH then CADOJ will probably classify it as a flash suppressor.

If it does have a FH and has a detachable magazine remove it asap!
Note: Threaded barrels, Muzzle brakes/comps are not features.

I had one on my Mini many moons ago with the blade sights. I just cut off the cage so that I can keep the bladed sight.
