• Q: Thinking about buying this rifle. Can we use steel cased ammo in this?

  • Answered
  • Asked 11/06/2021 14:34 by Bradford S

  A:

  I'm sure shooting some from time to time won't hurt anything but I try to stay away from steel cased ammo in any firearm. Most steel cased ammo has a bimetal jacket projectile Wich means there's steel in the bullet/projectiles jacket wich can wear on the barrel much quicker than brass. Know plenty of people shoot steel threw these, it can just wear parts or even break parts quicker. Hope this helps.

  A:

  You can use a picatinny rail. Actually, the receiver is drilled and tapped for mounting the included picatinny rail. So no need to spend extra money. Enjoy.

• Q: Hi folks,
  I assume the differences in the Mini 14 models aside from finishes is only in interchangeable magazines. In other words, the 4+1 capacity model can still take the 10/20/30 round magazines. Is this the case and are there any other differences?

  • Answered
  • Asked 09/03/2018 23:01 by Charles F

  A:

  You are absolutely correct in your assumption Charles. Only the supplied magazine is the difference and they all will take any capacity magazine.
