Too bad Ruger didn't design the Mini-14 to accept AR mags to begin with. Must have been a way for them to make a few extra bucks because the AR-15 had been in production for a number of years before the Mini came out. Just think, the Mini would be a much better gun today if you could find decent mags for it without having to spend an arm and a leg. I love Ruger products for their reliability but I admit I am also a bit bitter at them over such things as mags and spare parts. Just recently, I bought 2 PMI 30 rounders for the Mini and 5 GI 30 rounders for the AR. I paid about the same on each purchase. That put me to thinking and I have almost decided to transition over to a Bushy M4 for a SHTF rifle. I can live with the accuracy shortcomings of the Mini but mags and spare parts issues are almost becoming too much.
