Welcome to the Forum!ah, the ruger mini-14, my first gun. I miss it a bit but the ARs I build are way better but someday I will own a Mini-14 with the foldy stock for those A-Team aesthetics.
Uh….of the Colt too…don’t be slackin’.

I’ve never seen the inside of a prison, but virtually every documentary I’ve watched on the tube shows guards armed with Mini-14’s. Any idea why?

because bill ruger liked cops more than the average joe.
Back in the late 1980's the Texas department of Corrections had Ruger Mini 14's, and IIRC they switched in the early 1990's to AR15's. My first ex-wife trained on the Mini 14, and years later when my second ex-wife went to work out there in the mid 1990's, she trained on the AR15.I think they've used AR15s for some time now. At least the Texas Department of Corrections facilities do.

You met all your wives in prison?
It’s your story brother, tell it how you like.You go Skippy!
A good friend of mine worked at TDC and introduced me to my first ex-wife. He was dating a friend of hers, and set me up on a sort of blind date.
Second ex-wife, went to work for TDC after we had been married a few years.

My AC 556 is cooler, but it will set you back about $9-10k these days.They were cheap, and you didn't have all the options for AR's you do now
Msrp for a mini is pushing 1k now. Thats ridiculous
