BCM and don't look back.
I'm glad you didn't take my comment as malicious... And, try as I might, I can't fight the urge to throw my worthless opinion...
I've had limited experience with both, but my experiences fell right down the established party lines.
The Mini-14 I had never failed to operate, and wasn't real precise, and it threw brass so far you couldn't find it. Bought it for $200, sold it for $450.
The AR's I've shot both jammed, failed to cycle or had some other issue, but looked so neat and cool I still daydream about buying one. When I can piece one together for less than $400, I might do it.
if the world ended and the last two guns in the abandoned hardware store were a Mini and an AR, I'd take the Mini.
I have to go with the Mini 14. Its more reliable ...
both are great weapons ,both are easy to service,the mini 14s are very robust and have a better operating system than your run of the mill ar-15, also everyone dosen't have one ,having said that, there are some great ar-15s i would hold out for a gas piston system as these rifles are more reliable and run cooler !!
If you are waiting for a $400 to piece together, you might be waiting for a long time.
They are both reliable IMO. I've had both barrels white hot numerous times.
