We almost got one...
Remember the XGI? I still believe the Mini 30 came about because Ruger had already laid in a stock of barrels for the XGI before they decided not to produce it, and these barrels ended up being used for Mini 30s. IIRC, the first Mini 30s had 308 barrels, and Ruger said not to worry about it, that they were perfectly safe. Man, that was a long time ago! I always suspected that politics caused the XGIs demise, not reliability issues as advertised.
