I've got a Mini-14 stainless I'l part with for less.
I have a mini-14 stainless also. Set it up with a folding stock,

understand
the clips will interchange with the AR-15

There were some mags that were made in the distant past, pre-'94,
that
would fit both rifles, badly. Regular factory-style mini-14 mags
won't fit an AR. Depends on what you have.
My experience with mini-14s is that they're minute-of-washtub,
slightly worse than my SKS. The bull barrel on the AR shoots one
hole
groups with the right ammo at 100 yards, definitely varmint-quality.
Used to be mini-14 prices were about half what they wanted for an
AR,
they're right up there now.
Supposedly ruger got tired of complaints and retooled the Mini14 for
accuracy a few years ago. Still not as good as an AR, but probably
1.5
MOA with the right ammo. And it's arguably more rugged.
I have 2 or 3 ARs, but I'll also be buying a mini14 when I find the
right
deal.
What's the right deal?
Late-model stainless LNIB at $600 or less.
They sell new for $669 at the last few gunshows here in ft Worth.
Sigh..and all the good toys are illegal here in California.
Gunner, jonesing badly for another STG-58

Just send them a California Button to install before shipping to you.
No can do. Has to be "approved" before sale to California.
So Im stuck with the M1A and their clones...and Mini-14s...snicker...
Far too expensive for the one..and far to crappy and inaccurate for the
other.

Actually I thought it had to be on the banned list, or it could be sold.
Its on the Banned list. FN-FAL and variations.
While the rest of the nation gave up the Assualt Weapons Bill a few
years back..California had their very own..and they keep adding to it.
You know that most handguns are not able to be sold in California..not
even NEW ones..high quality ones?
Every weapon that is intended to be sold in California, samples must be
sent to Sacto for "testing". Now if the weapon is changed in ANY
way..new sights, different barrel length, color, stainless over blue
rather than blue over stainless...a sample of Each must be submitted to
Sacto, along with a fair amount of money for "testing" before it can be
sold in California.
I read about that and the law clearly exempted private sales. So while
you may not be able to buy the non-CA tested handgun at a retail gun
store in CA, there was no restriction on privately importing one into
CA.
Actually..you cant import a handgun into California without going
through a FFL...and you cant bring in a "non approved" or prohibited
firearm of any kind to California.

22. I am moving into California and I own several handguns. What are
the new-resident registration requirements?
You are considered to be a personal handgun importer as defined by
California law. You may bring all of your otherwise California-legal
firearms with you, but you must report all of your handguns to the DOJ
within 60 days as required utilizing the New Resident Handgun Ownership
Report. PDF logo [PDF 518 kb / 2 pg] You are not required to report
rifles or shotguns. You may not bring ammunition feeding devices with a
capacity greater than ten rounds, machineguns, or assault weapons into
California.
(PC sections 12001(n), 12072(f)(2))
Have a fun time reading this bit of trash....
http://ag.ca.gov/firearms/dwcl/12275.php
Its worse than the US Assault Weapon Ban was. And its never going away.
At least..not until all the Leftards are dead and bulldozed into mass
graves.
Oh..before I forget... Handguns "certified for sale in California"
http://certguns.doj.ca.gov/
List of "good guns"
http://certguns.doj.ca.gov/safeguns_resp.asp
A list of those that have lost Certification..
http://ag.ca.gov/firearms/forms/pdf/removed.pdf
It should be noted that several Glock models are not on the Cert
list..but are allowed for Law Enforcement carry..of course. As well as
virtually any handgun on the Removed list.
And No handgun NOT on the Good Gun list may be imported or sold...except
to cops.
