Welcome----show us your grandchild!! Younguns are more fun than guns-just a tad messier-glad you dropped in-if you're up early, come have Coffee at the Early Risers' Coffee Shop in the Tavern. Where do you hail from? We have members who have 0 Rugers-it's about liking them and drooling after them---is your Mini 14 a new one or the older one?
