the jungle carbine is absolutely mint -- and no, it's not one of the
repros. maybe 500 rounds through it.
as to deer -- it would take a lot of work to get the deer to move
back 100 yards. i personally know of -- no names here -- someone who
last fall took down a big doe at about 20 feet with a benjamin .22
pellet gun, eight pumps, shot to the forehead. i mean, pop, down, no
movement -- or so i'm told. and i heard that it fed us well for most
of the winter, but i cannot confirm it.
the problem with the mini is that ruger seems not to have measured
the slug and the bore is too frigging small. it's not bad with
linotype metal slugs, if spending a few hours getting rid of the
leading is of no concern -- one can chamber an empty full of mercury
and do it that way, though a lewis lead remover in 7.62 would be nice
-- but it's just stupid to screw around with casting and reloading,
given how cheap jacketed stuff is. and here in the oh so correct
northeast, gun shows are pretty rare.

There is sobbing of the strong,
And a pall upon the land;
But the People in their weeping
Bare the iron hand;
Beware the
People weeping
When they bare the iron hand.
