... ditto on the mini-14...

... they're sort of like the American version of the SKS ... and just as indestructible ...

Wheel,

... I have a couple of each ... and for "push comes to shove" ... I'd take the Mini-14 over Bushmaster or Colt for being more reliable and more rugged and dependable in a gunfight ...

... there ARE Match Grade AR's out there that will outshoot the Mini-14, but they are NOT nearly as hardy and solid ...

... Mini-14 should get you 1.5" groups at 100yds all day long with any ammo ...

The Mini 14 wasn't even the topic.......

Gess-us-CRISTOLA!!!!!!!!

I own and carried a Colt in the USAF for 6 years. Love it.

No idea about the Bushmaster, but they have a good name..... just never loose with a Colt.

Why do you ask? I would get neither under any circumstance. Or is this a rhetorical question?

For the price bushmaster....

If your going to buy an AR, get a Rock River lower and a White Oak upper.

If you want a Colt buy a Colt

Find an H BAR from the pre ban

Remember that .223 Rem is not the same as 5.56 nato

use what the receiver is stamped and you will have no problems

H Bar= Heavey Barrel

Thicker barrel = better accuracy

If it is a colt and it is pre ban

Still a good deal

Want to trade?

Under MILSPEC, parts are parts. You're really only paying for the assembly difference. The AR series is so modular that you can mix and match parts to get what you want. And your can assemble one as easily as the pros.
