Glad to see my mini's discussed. They put an AR in my hands in 69 and I hated it then hate them now so when it was time for a 223 I went with the mini. My first is now tac-ed out with ATI strike force stock system with a UTG scope mount with a ART III scope on it sighted in at 100 and with 55 gr handloads I do 1.5 OA with my old tired eyes. Now matter what I've tried it throws brass everywhere from 1 o'clock to 9 or 10. My second is stock out of the box and we bounce cans all over the place at 50 yards and it throws brass at 2 o'clock all day long. I have had great luck with Tapco mags and also Thermold and if that rear sight is to dainty to suit your tastes try Tec-sights.They make a fine G.I. aperture sight that works gtrat and is adjustable for windage and elevation. Just my two cents.

My take on AR's. I've had many people over the years say they were going to convert me and I use their rifle to out shoot them and hand it back and I use the line from Quigly when he tells the dieing rancher about handguns. "I said I never had much use for them didn't say I didn't know how to use them."
