You are going to have a tough time convincing members of your assertion, but should be entertaining.
BTW, I don't remember seeing any pros(or anyone else for that matter) running Mini 14 in competition.

Dammit, I want to know about his business already, I need stuff for my mini 14
Yes and No, just wanted opinions.
The first AR15 I owned, after wanting one for 25 years. Broke.
I opened the action and I was examining the trigger group, i had my thumb on the hammer and released it and let it go the last 1/4" or less and the impact from that broke the bolt hold open lever, it just popped off in 2 pieces.
I still like ARs but honestly they aren't the only gun worth owning IMO.
BTW Mister T is a good guy and the other 2 guys who shot Minis in that show were white, like me.
Mini 14: piss poor bastardization of a rock solid, accurate main battle rifle.
Spotty reliability, minute of man accuracy unless modified, expensive mags, limited options on replacement parts and aftermarket enhancements. Never adopted by any military.
The only thing that kept the paperweight in production was the fact Ruger practically gave them away to LE agencies.
AR platform: precision weapon platform of innovative design. MOA or less capability of most renditions out of the box. Extremely reliable with reasonable maintenance, easily worked on by the average Joe, wide variety of enhancements and parts and available all over. Cheap mags. Easily adaptable to many configurations from long range precision rifle to large pistol. Adopted by majority of NATO nations as standard service rifle, US time of service close to 50 years.
Mini 14 = 2.5 hp Tecumseh lawnmower engine
AR platform = Small Block Chevy engine
Even they could never hit anything with them....BTW Mister T is a good guy and the other 2 guys who shot Minis in that show were white, like me.

I sold my mini to get into AR's.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
