I found this gun on consignmnent at a local gun shop. It looks really nice, real heavy barrel, nice stock, and a nice upgrade to the trigger. All I have to go by is what the salesman told me about the gun. When I was looking at it he told me it had been to ASI and was a real good shooter. I have shot the gun and it does out shoot any mini I have ever seen and certainly shoots better than the one I traded off. It does shoot pretty good groups with all the different ypes of ammo I have tried in it so I am guessing a handload would put it to spectacular. All that being said I will add this. I have no idea what you would ever use this thing for other than plinking. It is the heaviest gun I have ever shot. It is very front heavy, don't know if that is a good thing or bad yet. You definitely would not want to carry this gun around, I carried out to the 100 yd line and it was not pleasant. I gave $575.00 for it which is not much more than I gave for the stock piece of crap mini that I traded in. All in all I don't think I got hurt any at least I have a mini that will shoot decently. IF a coyote happens across the firing range at the gun club it will get dead. If I am hunting coyotes it won't be with this gun. I wish I had some sort of paperwork from the owner showing who really did the work on this gun. It looks great, shoots really well but I am a little skeptical due to tool marks and fit and finish.
My son had his Mini14 redone by Accuracy Sys. Inc. recently. The cosmetics are perfect. Really...perfect. The rifle has NOT been shot yet, as the guy has developed an :roll: obsession with my .17 HMR and appears to be seeing if he can shoot out the bbl (ok, I'm exaggerating on that). Yes, I agree that a sloppy job would likely NOT be from Acc Sys Inc. JMHO ///olde 8) pharte///
