Stainless with a wood stock on that Mini-14 would be nice, but I don't

I know they made them because I have a friend with one ... selective
fire and a real pretty wood stock.

Ruger and third party suppliers can provide a variety of stocks for the
Mini-14 and most other "popular" rifles, including stocks that look
identical to what the factory supplies. No question that a well-done
wood stock is "prettier" than the black "plastic" one on my Mini-14.

That's because you have a third-rate brain.

Well, since it's mine, and as my previous statement is true, my brain is definitely
inferior to yours.

Trust me, however, head size doesn't count.

Ah ha. You must have seen the picture he took of his bald mellon head
reflected in the glass of the patio door he was so proud to have someone
else install for him over the deck that someone else installed for him
sitting on posts in holes that someone else dug for him. What a
craftsman he was.

Won't actually have it until May. Have to go back to the Boat Show on
their dime to sign the paperwork around 1100 hrs.
Since I'm somewhat limited by our narrow driveway, the new boat is
only a foot longer and a few inches wider. Since it's made of
fiberglass, it's about 50 per cent heavier. In order to not get bitten
by our seventy cent dollar, I opted for a brand new 2015 model.
Since I'll be doing my deep water sailing on a 39 foot sailboat this
summer the idea was to not spend too much money to get something the
wife will want to go out on on fine days.
There were two versions of the same boat. The outboard model and a
MerCruiser 3.0 I/O model with a big extended swim platform to make it
easier for us and the dog to re-board. It's a compromise as usual.
Could have gotten a bare bones more sea worthy boat for a bit more,
but the wife wouldn't hear of it.
It's a Bayliner 175BR. Yeah, I know...they had their problems with
quality a few years back but the salesman convinced me that they are
reasonably solid now and with the light useage and short season up
here, it should last me the rest of my boating career.


Did you expect the salesman to convince you of anything else? I would
never own an I/O for sal****er use on any boat.

A local BJs wholesale club was selling the exact same model through a
local boat dealer last year for $17995. That's probably $30,000
canadian. That's a lot of cash to pay for something Harry thinks very
little of.

A lot of women would dispute that.

It's hard to tell sometimes, which head of yours is writing this crap.

Guess I got a good deal then.
On the sales sticker the dealer estimated that 2016 models in Canadian would be around $30k.
Mine is a left over 2015 ordered before our loonie really nose dived. Same old motor for the time being although there are plans to retire the 3.0 in favour of a 4.3 I believe. That sounds like a big engine for a 17.5 foot open boat.

I have never had a long gun with a plastic stock.

FlaJim is boatless. Therefore a rubber ducky would be a better boat than
he has.

I wanted the stainless receiver and barrel on my Mini-14, and that means
a plastic stock. It's also a tad lighter than the wood stock, which I like.
