I am thinking of acquiring an M14 .223. Anyone got any views on that one?

Who in their right mind would want one in .223??? M14 is 7.62 or not at all!


Happy M14 owner. (

Isn't a Ruger Mini 14 basically a scaled down M14?

Yes, I meant a Mini 14.

On the Mini 14 s I've come across , I've only seen one that performed really well past 300 yards. Others have been mediocre.

+1 as Andy632 has said.

There are 6 for sale on a well known UK web site most been on there for several months that should tell you something.....

No one remember my "Mini 14 challenge" on here?

Got one, with not too much effort to group to a genuine 1.5" consistently at 100 and knock down targets on an ETR out to 600. And reckon I hit a couple of armoured vehicles with RG tracer at a little over 800...

Oh, I miss that rifle now....

So do I , the old boomerang
