Should be a drop in. Not like its a bedded precision bolt rifle.Thanks been wanting to get a nice wood stock for a while. Just hoping its not difficult to switch out.

Good deal was looking around found that there is a 22lr conversion kit for the Mini 14. Not sure why but it’s out there.Should be a drop in. Not like its a bedded precision bolt rifle.
The biggest complaint about the minis is the lack of aftermarket parts and self-repair ability. Need to fix an AR? Just order a LPK or other parts from one of seemingly a thousand vendors and grab your tools. Need to repair a mini? Grab your credit card, get an RMA and send it in.Good deal was looking around found that there is a 22lr conversion kit for the Mini 14. Not sure why but it’s out there.
The things you find when you have to go out of town for work.
Didn't the Greenwood PD take down a steer running around town with a 5.56 several years ago?ReMeMber a few years ago we had a bison on the loose.
45-70 or stay home
Maybe "Your Honor, I heard shots fired on the county road in front of my property, and I saw a man with a rifle firing while advancing on a sheriff's deputy with only a pistol taking cover behind his patrol car."Your honor I took that shot at 400 yards so I'd have time to run away and not have to explain to a judge at all.
and supposedly someone killed a grizzly with a .22 LR before but I wouldnt want to depend on it.Didn't the Greenwood PD take down a steer running around town with a 5.56 several years ago?
What kind of issues do you face with the BA AR?The only AR15 that wouldn't run for me was in 300bo. I have at least 2-3 in 762x39 and have had no major malfunctions. I have had some primers that didn't go off because of steel ammo (only on the Tulammo stuff). I have one from basically any company that makes them. BCA, Radical, PSA, Etc.
In a SHTF, the chance someone has a gun on them is pretty good. Most guns have decent accuracy at 100 yards. I am looking for a Caliber that gives me a little bit of an edge to move out of standard firing ranges while also being solid within that 100 yard range. I do agree though, 100 yards is a lot closer than most people think. When things start running, you are gonna want as much distance as you can get while also running a platform suitable to within 100 yard ranges.Interesting thought experiment for those that don't think you'll have to engage past 100 yards: Google maps has a measurement feature. You get to 100 yards a lot quicker than you think when you start running scenarios. Walmart parking lot is about 0.1 miles, the short side of the blocks in town are 100 yards, etc.
Do you have an suggestions for preferred brands? Something reliable but inexpensive? Does not have to be pretty, just needs to be a workhorseGo AR-15 platform. Buy a reputable AR-15 lower, and several AR-15 uppers in Multiple calibers.
5.56, 300blk, 6.5 Grendel, 7.62x39mm, 450 bushmaster.
Just change the upper on the same lower to switch calibers as needed.
Buy reputable optics and have it attached to a heavy duty, reputable mount to switch between uppers as needed.
Also buy at least 24 AR-15 magazines for each caliber made specifically for each caliber.
After that all plans must be adjusted to fit the situation. Remember to pick up any firearms laying around for future use, trade or parts.

Most common is a double-edged sword in reality. If faced with a true scarcity situation, the most common stuff will be the hardest to find since you are now competing with many more people for the same resource..223 and .308 will do anything that needs to be done in Indiana.
If the OP has a .223 and it is a bolt gun, simply buy an AR in 5.56. If the OP already had an AR then buy more ammo, mags, or whatever else you need for that gun. I would not worry about penetration or power, the AR will get it done for you.
I have made this comment before and will probably mention it again. If a person is worried about the state of the world and possible bad days ahead, I would own an AR in 5.56 and a double stack Glock in 9mm. Why? Because those are the most common magazines and most common cartridges.
Point taken.and supposedly someone killed a grizzly with a .22 LR before but I wouldnt want to depend on it.
