... But it doesn't have the shoulder thing that goes up. Surely that's worth another $800, right?

Saw one today at the LGS. Cleanly put together. $1400 price tag.

Was the pistol grip matte or glossy?

Ruger Mini-14 are cool and all, but I have never seen one shoot all that accurately out of the box, sure you can get it to shoot, but ever a budget AR15 right out of the box is good to go.

Ruger has asked WAY too much money for the Mini-14 for years.

That said, I have ALWAYS wanted a Ruger AC556. The A Team made me want one, and to this day I would love to have one. But since Ruger doesn't support them anymore, even if I had the money I would pass.

No way I would spend $15,000.00+ on some that if I shot it and it broke, would be damn near impossible to fix/repair.

Sometimes they are. If we can all admit that SOME Mini-14s shoot well, can we all admit that SOME ARs don't?

I can’t think of any transferable MG that would be serviced by the original manufacturer.
