I like the Mini platform. The newer ones are actually pretty good. They have been very reliable, in my experience, moderately accurate, and a lot of fun to shoot.
Haters gonna hate. I don't listen to the 'experts' on this issue, as most of them have never even shot a Mini, but depend on years of internet facts. laughing.
Only shot two. Both circa mid 80s. Know enough that as much as I liked the looks, the cheapest Model 1 Sales parts AR I put together shot WAY better.
So to satisfy my 14 desire we bought four M1As....
