Back in the 90's a buddies Dad got a Mini-14 on trade for something. It had a wire folder stock. We could not believe how incredibly inaccurate that gun was. It was EXTREMELY hard to consistently hit a paper plate at 100 yards with it.
I had a stainless Mini-14 back in the late 1970s that was about as accurate as a good AK platform carbine. In other words, it's good enough for typical combat ranges. I've had the newer model for a few years now, and it's quite a bit more accurate than the one I had from the late 1970s through the middle 1980s.
