(6,057 posts)Oh, puhleese. The position of the mag release and safety makes all the difference, eh? Forget about the design of the gas system (the guts).
I think you meant to say you have an M1-A ( the civilian version of the M-14) and not an M1 (Garand). In fact, the M1-A is an almost exact copy of the military M-14.
Strange that you should be trying to make the argument that the civilian versions are SO different from the military versions, but you just keep confirming that they are....... practically identical.
Nothing I said about the AR-15/M-16 is inaccurate.
I guess it must just be frustrating for you to come on DU and argue in favor of your favorite schoolyard shooting enthusiast's weapons when you can't play the "firearms authority".
The AR-15 and the military M-16 are almost identical........ and the more you argue that they aren't........ the deeper you dig yourself in your hole.
BTW - Bill Ruger knew a thing or two about promoting his products. Hence, he knew the Mini-14 handle would work better. He also pushed for the original "assault rifle ban" because he knew it would give him an advantage selling his (exempt) Mini-14.
And gee..... I wonder why Bill Ruger never produced a .308 version? After all, that was the cartridge used in the M-14 and "they are so similar in design",....... right?
