I thought I read somewhere that Ruger advised not to use surplus ammo in the Mini 30.
Too bad it's just not an accurate rifle without the barrel brace. You'd figure they'd have redesigned it not to have so much barrel whip so it could shoot straighter.

I remember reading the same; their reasoning was that they build their firearms to current SAAMI specs for that caliber, and old surplus ammo may not conform to that standard (case dimensions, OAL, max pressure, etc). It's not that it won't work for sure, just not recommended.

Okay guys, this is not a free for all.
I understand our new prices will provide some sticker shock, but get used to a 70 cent dollar.
This does not mean we are gouging.
