​@JamesReeves asks: Is the Mini-14 obsolete? The Ruger Mini-14 was introduced FIFTY years ago by Ruger. Developed by Bill Ruger and Jim Sullivan, two of the engineering greats, the Ruger Mini-14 was a so-so rifle when it was invented, and most people believe that it lagged behind as the AR-15 caught on with civilian shooters. But many of you don't know that there have been multiple changes to the Mini-14 - BIG changes - that have increased its effectiveness. But in this day and age dominated by the AR, is the Mini-14 still practical to own? We look at reliability, durability, accuracy, and more in today's video.
