Anyone have experience making the Mini-14 more accurate?

I'd like to get a mini-14 with the classic furniture so it looks "less scary". I hear they've got accuracy problems, and though they've improved them in recent years, they're still less accurate than a cheap AR-15. Anyone have any experience tuning these?

Yeah, buying a different rifle.

New production rifles can be shooting 1.5-2~ moa stock

the army spent embarrassing amounts of money trying to make the actual M14 into something accurate before giving up.

I suggest giving up.

Is there something else semi-auto in 5.56 that looks like a classic rifle that shoots better?

The thing is I've seen people complaining that their new ones aren't doing that.

dumb miniposter

Then they should be looking at what ammunition they're using or if they just suck dick at shooting. It's exceptionally rare for a gun to be a genuinely innacurate piece of shit whether it's an AR, AK, Mini 14 or whatever. There's plenty of examples on youtube of people making perfectly acceptable and excellent shots with their rifles.

>”I hear”
There’s your problem. Stop listening to fuddlore. Modern production Minis are fine.

Nope. By classical do you mean wood and metal and sporting stock? I'm afraid not.

AR-15 with a wooden SCR stock

still minute of pie tin and vertical stringers

Maybe it's an ammo-twist rate problem.
I got a cousin who called his mini a dumb keyholing piece of shit, come to find out all he's tried firing out of it's 1:7 twist was 55 grain
Pree sure the new ones have a 1:10 though

These are just bad shooters, newer Minis have had their barrel profiles redesign to minimize the accuracy issues cause by stringing. In any case, if you feel like there's still any issue going on, you can always buy an accustrut and mount it on your rifle, I've heard tell of old Mini-14s from the 80s changing from a 5 moa gun to a 1.2 moa gun with those.

Mine shoots great, it hits whatever I point it at, I don’t bench rest it and test it for moa because I’m not an autist... also barrel stabilizers are supposed to help with accuracy

Oh shit, I had forgotten about those.

Probably cheaper than a mini-14 too

And there are examples of people trying and failing. I'm trying to figure out if it's a matter of tuning or if it's just the luck-of-the-draw and some don't shoot as well as others. The mini-14 has a reputation for inaccuracy, and it wasn't granted that distinction arbitrarily.

Sure if you want to pay hundreds of extra dollars for no appreciable benefit because “hurr durr muh AR platform”.

They're the same price new really.

What is your definition of scary? Are you really buying a rifle to make a point? You can make the 14 look scary with some accessories if you're thinking that black plastic/aluminum, rails, pistol grip, and longer magazines make a gun look "scary". If that's the case, you can just get a wooden AR to make it look "less scary", or just never shoot the gun, because, you know, loud noises are scary too.

Holy crap. That's awesome! I didn't know this existed. Thank's user. I'll look into it.

>The mini-14 has a reputation for inaccuracy, and it wasn't granted that distinction arbitrarily.
And the AR has a reputation for getting soldiers killed by jamming constantly, and it wasn’t granted that distinction arbitrarily. It’s just that both reputations are years out of date and don’t apply to new production guns.

>subjecting yourself to that magazine release and no bolt hold open included
Plus I bet that if the person buys it they just slap on any old upper and have to deal with the retarded charging handle arrangement unless they buy a side charger

There's the HK SL6 and SL7 but they're incredibly expensive and I don't think there are enough around to form an opinion on how they shoot.

Scary is anything that's about to get banned in various states, because "scary" seems to be the criteria for what they're banning.

So you're letting other people define what's scary?

mini-14 and m-14 are different guns completely. Dumbass.

Going to try this in a few days. I had a local machine shop machine away the front sight post and drill and tap a hole so I can screw in any AK front sight post.

Fuck off, autist. You know damn well what he's getting at.

>autist
Cute

?? I don't get to decide what does or doesn't get banned. I want something that's not going to be banned in the next few years. At the moment they're banning rifles based on silly stuff like pistol grips and collapsing stocks.

>not going to be banned in the next few years
Based on what information? Can you tell the future or something? Stop being a pussy.

They're taking aim at semi auto right now.

That's a sweet mini

You can always get a wood stocked mini, they're expensive in relation to an AR though.

>They

Get W.e you want because IF they start seizing the "scary" looking guns, Thats when they die... These Liberal Snowflakes are committing treason and I for one have no problem punishing them via death for fuckin with my Liberty... Gonna suck having to kill cops because as unlikely as it is, he could be one of the "good one", But hey I guess were both "just doing our jobs" You being a Tyrant, me Defending my Liberty! Honestly though after the first week, hell honestly after the first day, these snowflakes are going to be screaming VICTIM so loud you wont even be able to hear the explosions....They are not made for being "Men" they are far from it... The Body count associated with what the snowflakes considered their "best and brightest" will undoubtedly have them defeated in NO TIME just going to have to cut the rest of their tongues out so we don't have to hear them scream VICTIM from their cocksuckers!

So what pronouns do you expect people to use?
