Now if a new and improved version of the mini 14 was created that cost over a thousand dollars then maybe we would have a race. I just said I’m not crazy about the AR-15 mainly because of the price and the two things in my previous post. I wasn’t really trying to make a comparison between the two. Thou we can if you like could be fun!

I do like the .223 round, it’s fun to plink with and blow up rocks at a 100 yards. I know many people think its too light for a military round but I think the extra ammo you can carry makes up for it.
The last mini-14 I saw was around 800 bucks, I see ar-15's all the time for 800 bucks.
