But just to play along, there are 1000s of variants of "ar15" now... some of them are bound to be worse than a mini-14 at some things.
But as an overall platform, just caliber selection alone leaves the Ruger Mini-series seriously wanting.
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ, we are the III%, CIP2, and some other catchphrase meant to aggravate progreSSives who are hell bent on taking rights away...
The mini-14.co forums must be especially slow today. I wonder why.
I thought this was going to be a "made you look" OP. Oh well. only wasted 30 seconds.
No wonder you dont like AR's, if I bought shitty guns I would share the same opinion...
She might wanna axe her hubby how pissing off the gun lobby worked out for him in the 94 house/senate elections.

Hi, my name's Ginsue & I was a Mini-14 "addict".
I grew up watching the A-Team when it originally aired. I just loved the Mini-14 & got my first (and only) one for my 18th birthday. I still think it looks pretty cool, but... I was lucky to hit the paper at 100 yards (certainly with no discernible pattern or accuracy), dealt with more FTF & FTE's than I'd like to admit, only had one 20-rnd Ruger mag and 1 30-rnd aftermarket mag which sticks bad going in and worse coming out, but for more than 25 years I never said a cross word about that rifle. THEN, about 7 years ago, I finally got my first AR. I still have that Mini-14, but it hasn't made it more than a few feet out of my safe since I got that AR and found out I could shoot a semi-auto rifle with accuracy, have far fewer FTF/FTE's, can (and have) afforded LOTS of magazines and really ENJOY shooting.
Given the choice of one or the other, I wouldn't hesitate to grab the AR and dump the Mini.

Ginsue's Feedback
I've had gunsmiths that I trust tell me that the mini 14 will defy all attempts to accurize it. They can't explain it, but some fine looking aircraft designs in WWII era couldn't be made to fly well. They even looked good, so much for that old saw. (Heck, how about the T-tailed Arrow?)
Careful, he might try to buy it from you.
