Tried one of my near neighbor's rifles this afternoon, a Ruger Mini 14.
I've been interested in one for a while, and have fired one before, but
this was the first time I had an opportunity to put 40 rounds through
one. Accurate enough for me at 50 yards, didn't try anything farther
out. Would be an interesting candidate for a silencer.

Looked like this one:

Mini 14s are pretty good but I would be surprised that they even let
you have one in the "unfree" state.
It is an assault rifle in places that use that ridiculous term.

I also wonder if your sheriff signs BATF form 4's for the suppressor.

My friend who was a class III collector moved to Virginia to get away
from the bull****.
He had a real nice mini, selective fire, suppressor, optics and all in
stainless.
The suppressor will reduce the muzzle blast quite a bit but you are
still dealing with the crack of the bullet.
The good news in the 5.56x45 is commodity ammo and when things settle
down it will be pretty cheap again.

Shows how ridiculous the Maryland law is. Capabilities are the same, looks are different. One's
legal, the other's not...it's an 'assault rifle'. What horse****.
