I like my Mini 14. I changed to these sights. I bought my mini 14 for 500 dollars last year at a pawn shop. It had a crap scope with a crappy rail on it. I tried it but it wouldn't hold zero and the rail kept coming loose so I removed it. I assumed the rear sight was sighted but I was wrong. it was missing a screw for windage. So I replaced it with the better sights. The only issue I had after that was reliability but that was because I needed a new extractor. After that was fixed I made one more change. I swapped the upper handguard for a wood one that matched the rest of the stock. I got a few 5 round magazines, a couple 10 and 20 rounders and about 15 30 rounders. It's a fun rifle. I have a few AR-15s, an AK, and a Cetme L in 5.56. It was nice to have another rifle in the caliber. With a 1:9 barrel I recommend the 55gr M193. NOTE: Target models are .223 only.

Does the wood handguard help insulate your hand from the heat. Doing an AQT with mine, not exactly rapid fire (1 round per 3 seconds) it was uncomfortably hot after 50 rounds.

I've become accustomed to the AR post front sight. After that, filing a sight seems so crude. But in the end after doing this and other mods ya have a more visceral connection than AR Legos.

I prefer 1 1/4" sling. Better grip as loop sling shooters aid. Does require modification of Mini's sling attachments...episode 1 in the series. Tech-Sights has the best price in these slings, too. kzitem.infoZrg3MfUOlnM?si=qoyM-nYAR0beB4_-

Ruger includes a pic rail. But it is too high and will require a check riser. They also include rings for their proprietary receiver bases. And Samson makes a rail that replaces the top handguard. The Mini 14 is a pretty solid iron sights rifle. Optics...I'd go AR or RDB.

Filing down the front sight was nothing compared to the rest of the steps I went thru to get things dialed in. But filing down the front sight, I learned that it was a common practice way back in the day, to make the front sight a bit tall just for this purpose. www.ambgun.com/ambidextral-rifle/mini-14

That would be awesome. Something that used AR posts. I looked. Given that the blade front sight is crimped and pinned from the factory it's unlikely. Maybe Accuracy Systems could do it with a new barrel.
100 rounds dirty? 100 rounds of mag dump? I did two 40 round AQT's during one of the Mini range sessions. No degradation. Wasn't really fouled and the most rapid 10 round strings are about 3 seconds between shots. Handguard gets uncomfortably hot. kzitem.infokLAambINp68?si=JIlsRVkAD53yPWT3

@@AmbGun Yeah no I know, I was echoing your criticism of people who think you need 1 MOA from a semi-auto 5.56. 4 MOA is a 12 inch diameter circle at 300 yards right? That's still all of your rounds on center mass for a human sized target; that's more than sufficient for a utility rifle. You only need 1 MOA if you're shooting varmints or something, (and even then, at like 50 yards can hit a 4" clay with a surplus Mosin while standing, and that thing couldn't have been doing any better than 4 MOA, so you'd probably still be fine shooting varmints even with that Mini-14,) and if you're gonna do that you'd probably be better off with a bolt action anyway.
