I love it when a plan comes together

[@railfanningpoints2.045]

The barrels are better on the new Mini. The rear sight is better on the old Mini. The accuracy is better on the new Mini.

[@Tusk_III]

“Hi Mischa here!” - that’s all I need to hear.

[@chdnorm]

In the early 90’s, I started in LE with a Sheriff’s Office in Oklahoma. That was the first patrol rifle, in stainless, I was issued. They weren’t but a few years old, having recently replaced M-1 Carbines. They were always very reliable. And, they were very serviceable.

[@Doublezzranch]

That is one good looking rifle & I PITTY THE FOOL...

[@ninjadave1970]

I can't watch this video, it makes me want to buy a Ruger A Team Mini 14! 😂 lol. I ❤ this KZbin channel!

[@zman5387]

Appreciate the video Misha. I own a couple Mini-14 (newer versions) with standard stocks and really like them, they are good shooters. Something about the M-1 platform that I like.

[@justanothergunnerd8128]

I love the term stickly, or maybe it's stickily. It was a stickily day here in the DMV after the rain came through. Oh and by the way - this is the best mini-14 ever invented by Ruger. The factory folder, GB barrel just make this thing shine... 🙂

[@chrischiampo7647]

Hannibal’s Favorite Rifle The AAC556 😀😎👍🏼 And a Good Cigar 😀 Misha I Like The Old School Model Best 😀

[@kman0146]

Good video, I've got one of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol guns with the M-1 carbine type stock.

[@georgeaura]

Man that is one rifle I wish I had.

[@user-qo3yy9nv1u]

Misha, im in Oklahoma so I get the sticky weather reference. You post i watch. Always loved history and when it comes to firearms you're the best and most soothing to listen to.

[@alexander1902]

I admire you Okie's, you get snow, tornados, hot summers, and even a few floods and you guys do not leave.

[@user-qo3yy9nv1u]

@@alexander1902 lol just too dumb to leave. Tornadoes are really common and pretty much every okie stands outside to watch them. It is a diverse state. We have plains hills a small mountain, a painted desert and a fee areas with dunes. I like it here its home.

[@johnski4709]

Got to get one of these new ones! Thanks Misha.

[@Tadicuslegion78]

The worst is when it’s Stickly weather then comes one of those summer thunderstorms that pours freezing cold water on you and now you’re freezing

[@404tactical7]

YES!

[@corruptduboiscountyindiana5058]

Had a stainless ranch before the folder ban for three hundred and fifty new. Had to file the handguard down so the scope bell would not rub on it. I turned down the folding option at the time.

[@texaspatriot9159]

Finally Misha reviewing a Mini 14

[@Blackstone175]

I am literally picking one up tomorrow morning. Glad you released this video. Watched several vids, yours was the only one that made me feel informed, and unbias.

[@RedZeppelinAirship]

At first I thought you had a transferrable AC556 brought out and wondered how you got one, then I sadly realized it didn't have the giggle switch on the reciever. Misha, when are you going to get a transferrable MG brought out on the channel? Maybe a classic Valmet or registered Chinese Type-56?

[@BNatoAk]

I saw a Corcoran State Prison issued mini 14 at a Cabelas in Utah some years back. Always wondered how many inmates had been muzzled with that bad boy in its time of service.

[@bruceruzicka6089]

Probably none. It probably spent its life in a rifle tower gun locker secured by a serialized plastic wire for decades.

[@misha5670]

@@bruceruzicka6089 I had one that definitely saw some kind of service/use as it had a lot of 'character' to the wood and metal hehe.

[@Apolloneek]

These past few months seems like every time I get a new gun I get to see you make a video on it. Even crazier that I never see you do ruger videos and I just got the same a team tactical model with the Hannibal front rail

[@dinosworkinonit3563]

Love my Mini from the late 80's. I raise chickens and the ol' Mini dispatched many a raccoon.

[@corruptduboiscountyindiana5058]

yeah, you should use it to dispatch yourself

[@Se7enBeatleofDoom]

Mini-14 with folding metal stock. A-team standard-issued rifle.

[@cadetleo1696]

I NEED this I NEED THIS GUN NOW 👌👍

[@charliea3723]

Great video.as usual

[@455cui]

its always remember me John Travolta's rifle in Broken arrow

[@echohunter4199]

The ONLY Mini-14 I like is the GB variant and that’s what’s hanging on my wall. I seem to gravitate to only owning rifles that can mount a bayonet. I’m a retired Army Infantryman so maybe that’s why.

[@OptimisticAsparagus96]

Bayonet lugs are a big deal to me. I finally got a plain Mini-14, last year, but didn't know about the GB release until later. Darn! Oh, well.

[@Anonsage3]

If these were high polish blued with a wood stock id buy one right now.

[@railfanningpoints2.045]

You can buy the stock separately

[@lon242]

Every one of the 2024 guns I've seen has buggered up stock screws, the big ol flatheads on the sides. I usually don't mind small inperfections on guns but this is just bad. It's like whoever is putting them together has a flathead way smaller than it should be to turn thode screws. Shame, the guns are so well done otherwise. I hope Ruger gives their assembly lines a proper screwdriver set. These things aren't cheap.

[@bfgivmfith]

I have tried to find that folding stock for mine from the 90's. I could buy another 2024 version for that! LOL! Thanks as always for your informative videos! Now I need another Mini-14! LOL!

[@Apolloneek]

Made by Samson manufacturing I bought they’re Hannibal pic rail adapter also it’s sweet and accepts a lot of red dots

[@bigracer3867]

Yea here in the south it be hot. And today it gets hot. 🥵

[@stonehalo1632]

Tupac had a mini14 with the 90 round drum.

[@willlaroche3170]

East Texas yes sticky is the perfect word

[@Inflorescensse]

If only my mini 30 was so reliable!

[@kman0146]

My 30 works fine with brass ammo but doesn't like steel cased ammo.

[@railfanningpoints2.045]

Don't bother with aftermarket firing pin and spring upgrades. They still don't consistently work for berdan primers.

[@WilliamCollins-sh6lm]

In a 308 this time around maybe !!!

[@AngelSilverFourtySeven]

👍🏼🥃🇺🇸

[@WilliamCollins-sh6lm]

Sweltering... Now the go fast hardware could be fun till it jamed !!!

[@civiliansense149]

Stick stickly attack attack is this what you mean?

[@Dr.Pepper001]

I heard that youtube is pulling gun videos that review name brand weapons.

[@misha5670]

Nope

[@azalkathegunpowderdragon9439]

Always found these ugly af. Kinda reminds me of what a 50s bubba would make if he saw a modern gun from like the 80s.

[@michelle-phillips]

My mini 14 looks like shit with a model stock doesn't fold I think the barrels turning color from shooting it shoots good sounds like a Ruger
