My New Toy (w/pics)

[Gormley Green]

Well, early Christmas present for myself . I have wanted to join the Mini-14 cult for a long time - since the first time I shot one and realized how much fun they are!!

Drove up to Ellwood Epps today (from Toronto) without realizing they aren't open on Mondays !!! Found another store in Orillia carrying them ON SALE (~130 cheaper than Epps) and got a great price and really goood service!

The 5/20 rd mag is from Questar and she'll have some new clothes soon in the form of an ATI folding stock from Fabsports, to be worn when I'm feeling tacticool.

Will be using for fun, because this gun is a blast (no pun intended) to shoot, and for culling some of the many coyotes on my farm.

Love the peep sight:

Well, she came pretty greasy and grimy from the factory - so I'm going to go tear down and deep clean. More pics to come when the new stock arrives...

Where did you end up buying it? Epps is hard to beat.

Awesome! My buddy brought one of those to my place, we shot a couple hundred rounds and I was grinning for days!
Congrats on the new toy!

i would go for a buttler creek or tapco over the ATI they feel very cheap

Beautiful looking rifle!! If not Epps, was her former home Tremblays?

You got it. They have them on sale for $699.

Was my first time in that shop too, awesome place. The guy at the counter was really friendly. We had a good chat about coyotes.

Just finished tearing her down and getting the grime off. It's my first semi-auto, different kind of work. Lots of fun. Thanks to Youtube!

Your are from Gormley? Did you check Target Sports? How was their price in comparison to EPPS and the place you got it (Tremblays). Also, can you PM me on how to get to Tremblays, I would be going there from Toronto as well. I would also assume that Tremblays doesn't have a website?

Sweet.
I remember the days of hi-cap mags they were fun.

You mean NORMAL capacity magazines right? Not the wrong unholy neutered beasties we have to use today.

Someday I am gonna buy one to play around with they look like loads of fun at the range when the other guys have em out to shoot.

Make sure you pick the leftmost lane when shooting at the range, that way you can make lots of friends!

Check out their site @ tromblystacklebox.com (am I allowed to post this?)

It's at West St. and Highway 12 in Orillia, very easy to find.
