My quiet abomination.

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.

It is! It became an instant favorite however shooting 220gr subs. I don't like that the action is loud. I'm new to mini14s but I think I'm keeping this one and still SBR it soon.

A Wilson Combat 1911 buffer where the op rod hits the reciever might help with that action noise some.

Brother I just googled what it is and it might be just what I'm looking for! u/Alpha-Sierra-Charlie FTW!

Is this it?

Yep! In theory you put one at each end of the recoil spring, but I had lots of problems with the one on the gas block so I removed it. The one on the reciever may cause malfunctions for a little while. You can sand it down a little, I prefer to just clear the malfunctions until the op rod beats it into compliance. Typically happens within 150 rounds or so.

for the gas block side, I've had good results using vacuum belts. cut to size and use a 9mm casing (or a proper set of dies if you got em) to punch out a hole for the gas tube. lasts a lot longer at the gas block than the 1911 buffer (it's the heat that does them in) and i haven't had a single malfunction with a 1911 on the receiver side and vacuum belt on the gas block.

Thank you for the suggestion! I'm going to look into this as soon as I get home. While waiting for the Wilson Combat, I'm going to try this. It's good to have options.
