I just think that if you're going to spend that kind of money, i.e. to buy the rifle, and then modify it so you can have an accurate .223, your money could be better spent buying an accurate .223 to begin with. I also think someone earlier made the comment that "if you polish a turd, you will have a polished turd, but it's still a turd.
except the mini-14 isnt really a turd lol, the design has potential just ruger didnt carry it far enough to work out all the kinks. I have 2 AR's and yes outta the box they stomp a mini-14 accuracy wise just the AR's are ugly just dont have that tradtional look like a mini-14 does. If you want real accuracy get a bolt action.................
