Mini-G as a SHTF Rifle

[HerkyBird]

Curious...How many of you Mini-G owners consider your MG your primary centerfire rifle for when/if the proverbial S hits the F?

[timshufflin]

Not me. The S ain't hitting no F so I'll be listening to spandau ballet while you all prep

My BMini59-G is my high-power backup for my Mini-14, Winchester Model 12, and S&W Model 29.

As far as whether the S will HTF: I'm agnostic.

[HerkyBird]

I hope the S never hits the F; but if the Muslim Communist gets reelected, things ain't gonna be good. I think you'll see the economy just get worse and worse and constitutional rights disappear. After all, he'll have "more flexibility." At any rate, I think the Mini G is a very fine choice for a primary centerfire rifle. Relatively light, handy, powerful, quick reloads, common caliber, and, most importantly, positively gorgeous.

Well, since I received my new SIG 556R it's a toss-up with my mag fed Mini-G. Since I'm going to re-scope my "G" it will probably be my longer range backup to the SIG.
Of course, I'll probably get shot in the back looking at the gun safe trying to decide which one to take!

Now this is "GD" Funny...I can't even decide which rifle to pull out for the M-1 for Vets Match this weekend. That would be me..Shot in the back deciding which rifle to protect myself with...Priceless!

After the H&K 91 became avialable Mel Tappan tested several of them and it became one of, if not, his most favorite Bad Days rifle.

I believe in the Principle of Three... ie. One is NONE, Two is ONE, Three is what it takes to get the JOB DONE...

So, whatever rifle I picked for the Bad Days, or considering the current increasingly strict gun laws, just for future use, I would want at least two of them, with a good supply of spare parts.

One rifle would be my everyday,current user/shooter, with a No2, and even a No3, that had been shot and tested, standing buy in reserve.

A M1 Garand, stood the test of a WAR Rifle, I think we can all agree. A Mini-G, just makes it more handy. You can get it in 308 or 30/06.

One of the advantages of a Garand in 30/06 is that you can back up a Mini G or two with a few CMP standard sized 30/06 Garands.

IMHO, a CMP Garand is definately a best buy, in todays world.

I'm going with the Sig 556R, Sig 556 and PTR 91 (Yes, all 3). Just need to get the right stock so the "muscle memory" between the PTR and Sig's are the same. All have HK style diopter sights and ACOGs.

Alas, if I had to grab a single rifle, it would probably be (my to be ordered and built) Mini-G since I keep Garand clips loaded.

The only downside I see to a -G as a primary defense piece is the op-rod spring. It's a wear item and not a standard Garand piece. Probably a good idea to store a few spares. I think it makes a great "truck gun" and is robust,potent, pretty and just plain cool.

The mag fed G uses a standard Garand spring It's just cut down.
