This case also works for Under-Folder AK’s and the KelTec SU-16C. The side pouch will hold two 30 round Mini-14 or AR15 mags. The rifle will fit in the bag with a 20 round mag in the rifle. I would however, consider the Mini-14 to work well as a “Bug Out” rifle, a “Hit ’em and forget ’em” Guerilla rifle or a Survivalist Hunting and Defense rifle.Ī good and cheap “Bug Out” bag for a folding stock Mini-14 is a surplus M60 Barrel bag. I would not use my Mini-14 if I was a member of an Infantry Squad and had a choice. The question here is, “What performance do you expect out of your ‘Survivalist’ rifle?”. I think one of the issues is that the full auto version, the AC-556, pushes the rifle past what it can absorb when it comes to the heat produced by sustained rapid fire. That being said, the Mini-14 is not a military grade rifle, and the few times it’s been placed in that role (Bahamas comes to mind), it has had a number of failures. Although they had Mini-14’s with parts failures, those rifles had generally gone through thousands and thousands of rounds between those failures. Outside of the military, if you want to see a firearm get used and abused, check out the weapons used in the Academy/Training section of LE Departments. Over the course of my LE career, I qualified with the Mini-14 twenty times (Shot iron sights out to 150 yards) and used one in the LE Firearms Instructors Course I attended in the 90’s. Since that rifle, I’ve owned seven Mini-14’s, and have never had an issue with any of them. My first semi-auto “Assault Rifle” was a Mini-14 in 1988. Few semi-auto rifle have the fond memories for me, that the Mini-14 does.
