While Ruger has fixed most of the issues with the Mini-14, it is still a Mini, and they cost about the same as an entry level AR, I would go with a back up AR, because all of the parts will move from either rifle with out any issues, and it would be a great place for spare parts.
now if he just wants an Mini go for it, but for a spare rifle, why not one that would be more than a bit use full.
The parts swap thing was what I tried to sell him on.
Has he had a recent head injury, Tbolt?
Just tell him that for every standard capacity magazine (that actually work) for the Mini 14 the cost is the same as FIVE Pmags.
Here is a simple way for him to simulat a Mini 14 with an AR. If shooting with iron sights, change to the big aperture. With a scoped rifle the loosen the mount.
That should approximate the 4 moa of the Mini 14.
I don't have an easy way to simulat the crappy magazines. Maybe use old GI magazines?
Get a very different AR. Get a long barrel, or a short, get a rail instead of a carry handle. There are so many different configurations available that a "spare" AR is easy to decide on.
Are you sure he's thinking?
