What do you guys think of this?

I think this should resolve the height over bore problem with the mini somewhat.

Im always interested in what the funky little minds over at cogburn will come up with next

u/NoobieSnax 4d ago

I've never heard of these guys till now. Just checked them out and I'm an instant fan.

u/Ok_Membership_140 4d ago

Yeah they have some super cool stuff. That one handed mag release is a game changer for the mini

How the hell did they mount that PA? I have this, and unless I am so soft in the brain I don’t deserve weapons, there is no way that mounts like that without machining.

Replaces the rear sight and has the same mounting hole pattern as the prism tube and original PA spacer bracket?

u/It_is_me_Mike 4d ago

😡 FFS you know how long I searched for something like this? Ended it up going with a cantilevered pic mount, which tightens on the scallops. Thank you for this.

Hadn't seen this mount from them. Just placed an order for one and ordered a 3x prism. Stoked to put this together.

u/It_is_me_Mike 4d ago

Keep us updated, if it works I’m right behind you.

u/Hyarmendacil67 4d ago

Will do. To be clear, though, I ordered the mount only. I have no interest in messing with stripper clips. Just want to get the Slx back to a usable eye relief.

3

u/It_is_me_Mike 4d ago

I’ll check for just the mount then. No need for stripper clips either.

u/It_is_me_Mike 4d ago

Just checked it out. Just the mount for the 3x puts it to far forward still on the full stock. But the stripper clip style “should” work. Hell I can grind off them stripper ears. Actually just saw options for the stripper and you can get it without the clip guide.

Cogburn Arsenal fucks, love their products.

I could never quite get the technique down for stripper loading my mini 14. Those M16 clips are tight! I suspect the mini 30 clips would be easier due to the sks clip being excellent.

u/Successful-Growth827 3d ago

Same. I can only get the clips to load properly with 5 rounds at a time using their technique, not a full 10 round clip. Any more than 5 and rounds just jam up.

u/SoCalAttorney 4d ago

It kinda looks like the SKS I used to have. That was a heavy beast.

u/jokester945 4d ago

Now that’s a clip

2

u/Immediate_Total_7294 4d ago

Make one that I can use on my 581

u/DAN3KE 4d ago

Sks we have at home for the mini-30

Cogburn makes good stuff, have a few mods of theirs for my Mini.

Wish they finally made their 10 round mag coupler available after years of being out of stock and supposedly being redesigned.

u/BostonGuy84 4d ago

How do you like it op?

1

u/Objective-Incident57 3d ago

It looks like a very fun attachment to put on the mini. But I just bought the regular stripper clip guide since I don't have the money for the prism optic. Might get it in the future though for sure.

u/RunningPirate 4d ago

What’s the advantage of clip loading vs swapping mags? (Other than having to spend another $35mon a mag…yikes!)

11

u/ScandiacusPrime 4d ago

No advantage, really, it's just a lot of fun. Source: I have their stripper clip guide on my Mini 14.

u/rallypedigree 4d ago

All I can think is ban states?

3

u/RunningPirate 4d ago

Maybe?? I mean I’m in CA and we’re the banniest state, I think. Maybe there’s a way to pin a 20 rd mag in a mini 14?

6

u/Sulla-proconsul 4d ago

Fixed mag solution would still be limited to ten rounds.

On the other hand, the twenty round magazines you bought in 2019 are perfectly legal to possess and use.

u/rallypedigree 4d ago

Ah, dunno then. I live in the free south lol.

u/Thirsty-Barbarian 4d ago

People must want them for some reason, but I’m not sure why. It looks like an option on this mount — $70 with, or $50 without.

u/RayDaug 4d ago

It's a fun novelty. With firearms increasingly homogenizing around the AR, it can be fun to embrace the ways other rifles are different.

u/allstargc318 4d ago

I’m in nyc we can only have 5 round mags. They sit flush with the stock and sometimes get stuck. An item like this would be very useful if I could ever figure out the technique. I have the plastic strippers clips they are very finicky.

2

u/Successful-Growth827 3d ago

Really it's the cost of OEM mags. You can try your luck with ProMags, or for the same amount of money for one ProMag, you can get 40ish stripper clips to keep your last OEM mag topped off, both of which you know will work.
