TactiSMART 014: The Mini-14 is for the PLAN A-TEAM--NOT the B-Team

One of the most iconic looks from the TV show, the A-Team is the stainless steel Mini-14 rifle with folding stock that always tears up the bad guy's cars/trucks/planes--but never kills anyone. The hilarious movie re-make doesn't refrain from people dying--but no Mini-14... 

For the record, the AR15/M16/M4 can be upgraded to Stripper Clip Load (SCL). 

Must I do this myself? Must I do-everything-for-everyone because they are complacent, immoral hedonists? Where are the moral stoics? Any out there?

The problem is all the AR15.com fangirls whose penis is wed to worshiping the inanimate object gun who can't see it as it is--a TOOL--that needs steady improvements. They themselves are what we derogatorily refer to as "tools". They are in some cases the same immoral stoics who somehow delude themselves that the 1787 U.S. Constitution is AOK after its not been updated to combat the Industrial Age (1900) and current DISinformation Age (2000-present). Complacent conservatism--immorally deifying the past to "conserve" it ignores the unfinished works we have before us to do to actually keep the good of the past vibrant. 1787 needs upgrading as does the AR15/M16/M4 into a "M16A5" or M4A7whatever.

If we can't get this PLAN A with the AR15/M16/M4 gatekeepers, then FUCK THEM, let's get another platform. 

How about the Mini-14? Designed by Jim Sullivan, Co-Creator of the AR15/M16/M4...




https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruger_Mini-14#AC-556

The AC-556 is a selective-fire version of the Mini-14 marketed for military and law enforcement use. The design incorporates a selector on the right/rear of the receiver to select either semi-automatic, 3-round burst, or full-automatic fire modes; the manual safety at the front of the trigger guard operates the same as a standard Mini-14. The front sight is winged and incorporates a bayonet lug. The 13-inch (330 mm) or 18-inch (460 mm) barrel incorporates a flash suppressor, which can be used to launch approved tear-gas and smoke rifle grenades. A folding stock was used on the AC-556F and AC-556K. The rifle came equipped with 20-round magazines and a 30-round version was available for a time. The AC-556 was dropped from production in 1999 and Ruger stopped offering service for the rifle in 2009.[23][24] By that time, some models became available for private civilian purchase in the NFA market.[25]

Meet th Mini-14X



Beautiful gun, reliable action. Can SCL with the Cogburn Arsenal adapters. Reports are it doesn't cool well after shooting 500 or so rounds. Fluting the barrel with flash hider should fix that. Its nose-in, lock-back magazine needs to be replaced with the same straight-in loading STANAG magazine type AR15/M16/M4s use. Reliable 60 to 100-round, Maximum Rounds Start (MRS) drum found COTS or created. Pistol grip, folding TAN stock. Picatinny rails everywhere with reflex/night red dot collimator optic, Green Laser/Flash Light (GL/FL). Can fit an Assault Shot Gun (ASG) underneath. Grip/Bipod. Bayonet lug for M9 Wire Cutter Bayonets (WCBs). Carried by a Ready Tactical Sling (RTS) for instant firing. 


  

Another option is the well-liked MUZZLELITE Bullpup stock for the Mini-14 that doesn't work well with us lefties getting hot shell casings so near our "face" (A-Team shout out, pun intended). If you're right-handed, the bullpup Mini-14 is great except it needs some plastic cleared away for the Cogburn Arsenal Adapter to SCL it. 


  
"I love it when a plan comes together!"

NOTES



Stripper Clip Loading (SLC) IS an IMPORTANT COMBAT CAPABILITY:

PLAN A: your Mini-14 is out of PRE-Loaded Magazines ammo aka PRELMs.

PLAN B: it takes 30 seconds to 1 minute to make a PRELM with 10 rounds. 

PLAN C: if instead of a PRELMD AR15, you have a SKS, M14, Mini-14, CZ58 or Canadian FN FAL, you Stripper Clip Load (SCL) load 10 rounds DIRECTLY INTO THE GUN and are ready-to-fire in 5 seconds. 

5 seconds per 10-round SCL beats 30 seconds to 1 minute PRELMing.
