A firearm that is shouldered, short and highly maneuverable with a 
fast acquiring sight system makes it great for hunting moving varmints 
and fowl or even an armed perpetrator. The ammo, .223 caliber/5.56 mm 
x 45 mm NATO and the U.S. Military standard round commonly used on the 
venerable AR-15/M-16, is plentiful and relatively inexpensive to shoot.

Further development; As you can see by my "MODIFICATIONS", I made several 
improvements to the original Muzzelite. I removed the front and rear sites 
and remounted the scope mount. I removed the bottom part of the trigger guard 
and made a removable one-piece hand guard in its' place. Which makes for a 
better carrying handle than the original off-balance top handle. A Mini-mag 
lite is placed inside the fore stock. A very short rail replaces where the 
front sites use to be. Remounted laser dot pointer on this front site rail. 
Reinforced on the inside with plenty of kevlar fiber!
Removed the trigger guide coil spring, honed the Mini 14's trigger and
Muzzelite's trigger rails and well greased it to decrease trigger pull.
Modifications to the ejection port by placing guides to insure shell casings
do not get trapped inside the Muzzelite's shell.
 
            ALSO IT'S JUST DARN FUN TO SHOOT!!!"
