Mini14 vs AR.....
Completely different kind of guns....
The Mini will not be able to handle high performance heavy bullet ammo due to barrel twist...
Info from Gunsight is that they have NEVER had a Mini make it through a carbine course without mechanical failure...
Mag change is slower than even a AK...
Accuracy is not in the same league as the AR...
I understand the attraction for walnut and blue steel...still...a good Mini will never run with a good AR...
If you are looking for a good 5.56mm rifle....ARs are near the top of the list...the new SIG maybe better....maybe...
Minis not in the real running...
