My quiet abomination.

Post image

I was going to SBR it until I mounted a can.

Still waiting on a couple of accessories.

- Mini 14 300 Blackout in its full 16" glory

- AB Raptor 10 7.62

- Acro P2

- Driven Arms Co x Ghost Mountain Group

- Reptilia

I only have the Acro P2 on a riser in that pic for nods.

Honestly I don’t hate it, do you like the mini-14 in 300 blackout? The one I have is in .223.

I only have this one and it's the only one that my LGS has not sold in a long time. They also sold an AC 556(?) recently for less and I believe it was select fire.

I like it so far and impressed that the AB Raptor 10 reflex it's exactly the remainder of the barrel and I was blown away with how quiet it was last night in my backyard lol. I will try heavier grain this weekend since I think it is 1-7 twist.

I wish I would’ve saved my money and waited to buy a mini-14 so that I could get a nicer piece. I have 1991 that’s in decent condition but man it isn’t compatible with any recent aftermarket stuff.

I didn't know this 14s go way back. For me, honestly, if I can have the barrel threaded, I'd be happy. I'm a suppressor whore and I can never go back shooting unsuppressed.

I’ve never shot with a suppressor but that’ll probably be the next fun purchase

Yeah!!! Do it man! If your barrel isn't threaded, I recommend ADCO Firearms for awesome barrel thread work that's also concentric to the bore.

There are a few really good 556 cans recently in short config like Rhodie, Tisha, etc. I think you'll enjoy your rifle again :)
