So these arrived today:
Ruger Mini-14 factory 20-rd mags…marked ‘BLEMISH’. I think that means it was for the Blem military.
Price? $19.99 ea for a Ruger steel factory mag. w00t.
Big thanks to the person who emailed me and told me about this deal.
I know, I know…why didn’t I pass this on to you guys? Easy…about a half hour after I ordered…OOS. (Out of stock). Right place, right time.
(I swear, every single time I play with Mini-14 folder or the mags I wind up whistling the A-team them. Every. Single. Time. And I’m not even aware Im doing it! Curse you, Cannell!)
Damn, I wish I had your budget. $500 scopes last week, $200-worth of magazines this week.
Probably because as an older man, he had practised “prepping” over a lifetime. Having everything paid off and stocked supies frees up money for other things. And yes, I am struggling as a late starter, but happy Commander and others can do it.
“older”. Oy, that hurts.
But, some truth in that…no car payment, no house payment, no student loan payment, no credit card payment. Frees up a little cash.
No worries Commander! I am almost 62, and only been doing this for a couple of years, with a very reluctance spouse. One of the good things is my new relocation put me West of the Mississip. We are close to our like minded friends, and I have a place to go, if/when needed. Only a house payment for us.
Helluva deal sir, you shop awesome. Maybe you need an ‘A-Team’ wall poster for Mini-14 background shots ? :^)
The Blemish military has really lax standards on what they’ll accept. No QA standards at all.
I bought out a reloading room from a widow, (I paid too much out of respect), and ended up with a bunch of those in an ammo can. Still in packaging.
Don’t have a mini, and don’t want one. (Tho my LGS has an AC556 for 12g that’s tempting).
I’d give them away or trade them but nobody I know owns a mini.

Ahem!
I have 2 mini-14s including a factory original folder (i got both in the 80s), but I don’t have the luck (or the finances) of our Wing Commander. I don’t have much to trade, but would be willing to pay a reasonable sum.
Thanks,
Doc
I do!
Me! Oooh, pick meeee!
Tom in Oregon, I’ve got a Mini-14, and I’m in Oregon as well.
I’ll happily pay you for a few of them.

A-Team theme?
You too?
Had the same reaction when you posted the last pic of it with the folding stock.
That is a good find. I actually just finished up my Mini project. I put a new FDE Hogue Stock, giving a try of the VISM red dot with solar capability. I got it for free and so far pretty impressed by it. I have 20 mags for and all of them are good to go. Also ran some of the Tapco Gen 2s and no issues. Another tool in the box.
Good snag!
