...is to be more like former member of a Special Forces unit which was prosecuted for a crime we didn't commit. We went underground as mercenaries for hire helping others who have also been wronged. And while cruising around in our custom van the weapon of choice is the Mini 14 GB folder.

Granted we don't hit a lot of what we were shooting at, but when we see action this is the best firearm for shooting from the hip on the run.

I got a good deal on my entry token into this elite group.

That was--by a mile--my first choice for a forum name.  Had it been available, I might have bought a godzilla-type suit to wear before an easily-left-in-the-car shooting jacket.

Not to nit pick but the GB had a different front sight and a flash hider. That's the civilian model with a  factory folder. But still very cool with the folding stock.

I always liked Mini 14s, carried one on duty for awhile way back in the day and bought a Mini 30 with which I've taken a bunch of deer with.

You know those A Team ones came with magazines that had an unlimited supply of ammo in them so you never had to change them.
