I did not see that or just did not understand (my internet reading skills suck at times). My first Mini 14 I paid $139.00 for at a big box store in Reno Nevada in 1977 or 1978. Enjoyed the rifle it was cheap to shoot, I wasted a truck load of Jack Rabbits with it. I have always enjoyed the little rifles but never have had one that was that accurate. Never had a firing pin break in the ones I have owned. To your other point 31 years is a long time to hold a grudge!
