I'm sure the corporate memory still exists of what happened when Bill Ruger was perceived to be caving to the gun control crowd. Since Bill died the company has gotten very creative and it's done nothing but help the bottom line. They are making the guns the American gun buyers are buying. It would be stupid to do anything else. The Mini 14 was originally made with the military and police in mind and it was originally select fire. There are still plenty of them in the class III registry. Bill realized the public was going to buy more than the government when the Stoner design became the army's choice so he made the Mini a semi auto and sold a ****load of them to the public. It was after he died that the new folks decided the AR platform was where the money was so they jumped on that bandwagon, along with everyone else. Personally I think the Mini is a superior firearm but it is more expensive to make. (Why the army didn't buy them I imagine) |
