You have a post 2005 model don't you?
Just a thought, now that I have goodnaturedly mocked your gun. Really, it looks great. Would never have thought white, but it works really well.
Any thoughts about scuffs or marks, or is it largely resistant to them?
Yes and no. I cured the paint so it is ultra hard, as hard as paint can be. Scuffs can be buffed out. The paint is polished and waxed for the finish. This means it is smooth as can be, BUT it shows dirty or oily fingerprints like crazy, like a piano. Luckily the finish is smooth enough that almost everything wipes off unless the contaminate attacks the paint like brake fluid.
Looks great. I agree that it doesn't have to be "traditional" to be a nice looking gun.
Me? No mine is old school bought for a silly low price. With gun + paint + mods I have less than $300 in the gun. Oddly I just out shot my buddies match grade AR (he is a better shooter than me) at 25 yards. That may have been an anomaly, but I am not complaining.You have a post 2005 model don't you?
Fair play. I was going for a new interpretation of firearms. They do not have to look scary to be meat ax lethal.
I had a lot of ideas about colors, pin stripes, and Ruger logos. I went simple to not overstate the gun. Good luck!
Thank you. Flash hiders are a DC and CA thing. DC mostly follows CA laws. ATF was able to differentiate the difference between a rifle flash hider and a muzzle brake. Flash hider makes the Mini an assault rifle and muzzle brake is perfectly legal. IMHO what I have looks and functions exactly like a flash hider, but I would never argue with ATF. I follow the law.
Hey not criticizing, just what popped into my head. I have some pretty wacky stuff myself.

I recall seeing a mini 14 at a walmart somewhere in southern Md about six or seven years ago. Can't remember where, i was only working in the area for one day. Anyway, here is my 580 series.
here's mine with its older relative, nothing special just your run of the mill ranch rifle, but i like it, need to get some large factory mags though, only have the small one that came with it and some cheapos that dont work so great.
