[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4198671, member: 45773"] Mini-14 vs AR-15. That's what you're comparing. Just because you can't think of an advantage doesn't mean others see it the same way. Some people like the old-school appeal of the Mini-14 over the AR. Whether it's a big deal in this area or not, it is in some areas...the Mini-14 doesn't inflame most non-gun people like an AR sometimes does because the Mini has a more traditional look. The gas system is cleaner than a DI AR-15. They use the same ammo and have the same standard magazine capacity. The Mini-14 isn't banned in some areas where the AR-15 is (for new buyers)...CA and DE come to mind. There you go...several (mostly objective) instances of where the Mini is = or > an AR-15. I think we all know the distinct advantages the AR has over the Mini. And if you'd say what you mean, like you did in the second post above, instead of "implying" what you hoped others would understand you to mean like in the first post, you wouldn't have to blame your poor communication skills on others.
