I was at the range last Thursday. Usually I like going then because it’s the quietest day of the week—frequently no more than two others on the range besides me and the RSO.
This last time, there were probably 12-14 people there. On a Thursday!! Didn’t pay much attention to what people had but I do recall a woman with a Mini-14 and a couple of guys with Dragunovs.
Egad how I want a Mini-14. I have found several for good prices that I would simply adore having.
But alas, I live in Massachusetts (for now). The Mini-14 is not a legal firearm. Capacity over 10 and a flash suppressor. Some with collapsible stocks (the tacticals).
