Mini 14 Freakish Conversion

BattleRifleG3 · 10-02-2003, 10:32 PM

I suggested this on the AR-15, but maybe the Mini is a better platform for this. I'm really lookin to get a 35 caliber semi auto carbine, and 35 Rem is the only current cartridge that fits the bill. So I was thinkin, the 35 remington has only a slightly larger base than the 7.62x39mm and 0.265" more OAL than 223, so maybe it could barely fit in an action for guns chambered both for 223 and 7.62x39mm.

Think the Mini's better than the AR for this? Or is it totally unfeasible?
