The Mini-14 has a few advantages over the AR platform, in my opinion. Not a big scary black goon, operating system is way more reliable, as far as beef goes. This is for most people. If you know how to break an AR all the way down to the extractor springs for cleaning and service you should be ok. Those springs can break under heavy use if not maintained. The ears on the bolt tend to crack under the same conditions.My dad has a Mini-14. I'm not the biggest fan, I think I'd rather have another AR-platform rifle.
Not for nothing, CMP is supposed to be releasing fun switch removed M14s later this year. Hopefully they're not too stratospherically priced. @Blade1668 how badly did they bang you for the M1?
BTT:
I didn't do anything to my Jeep today but drive it and run it through the car wash to get the bird shit off.
On Topic: ran down to Lowe’s to pick up some block off plates for my breaker panel. Been meaning to do that for a couple months to fill all the holes up I left from reorganizimation. Ran over a trees curb thing and avoided the mobile sign post to park because I was giving my off-road prowess a test in the parking lot.
