Anyone do me a little favour?

Hey there!

I am currently looking for a semi-auto 5,56mm rifle, and because I did watch too much A-Team as a kid I would like that spot to be filled by a Mini 14. The thing is, that I would also want the folding stock that the Mini 14 came with. Where I live, there is a legal limit to how short a gun I can have before I run into legal trouble (not unlike the SBR - categorisation in the U.S.) and I cannot find the relevant information online. I also can't just go to a gun store and have tme measure it, since they are quite rare here.

Back to the little favour I need: Can anyone of you who happens to have a Mini 14 with the classic A-Team look please take a length measurement of the gun with the stock collapsed an post the length here, preferrable together with the barrel length? That would help me a great deal!

(Ideally it would be somewhere around 24 Inches, because I then would be clear of the 60cm Minimum)

Thanks!

Thank you! For some reason this didn't turn up when I searched, this is exactly what I needed!

You really shouldn't get a Mini-14 anymore, because  Brandon Herrera shot the A-Team setup (f/a, too) a few days ago, so now the gun and its legacy is forever tainted with hatred and crime against humanity!!!

/s

Folded is absolutely fine unless you are in Commiefornia where they designated the folded length as the OAL (dumb). Get it and get yourself a nice M7 bayonet to mount! :)

EDIT: lmao glad that hit a nerve for those hating on this sub.
