Any worthwhile upgrades?
What ammo ? Steel case? brass? For accuracy and reliability?
Never had one but thinking about it.
Thanks

I'd heard they fixed that with newer ones that have a beefier mount to the action.the other problem with the mini series are the awful barrels. These rifles are not accurate. they’re also stupid expensive for what they are.

Gun store rumor?
So if I bid on one on gunbroker, forgot about it,and then won it (far less than a grand) , what should be my next move? 😂
People seem to have good luck with those barrel stiffener add-ons that make it look sort of like an M1Since on the topic of mini's, in 2018 I sent a mini 14 to Carl at Accuracy Systems in Byers CO. He "accurized" this mini 14 and completely transformed it into a legitimate "varmint" rifle, not that I know jack squat about varminting. For approx $1k one gets a new barrel and totally accurized rifle. His work is actually very good value. Regardless it brings the cost of the rifle to at least $2k. Is that worth the cost? For me it was worth seeing his work and I am impressed.

Is there anything left of the original rifle?Since on the topic of mini's, in 2018 I sent a mini 14 to Carl at Accuracy Systems in Byers CO. He "accurized" this mini 14 and completely transformed it into a legitimate "varmint" rifle, not that I know jack squat about varminting. For approx $1k one gets a new barrel and totally accurized rifle. My package was around $1600 total. His work is actually very good value. Regardless it brings the cost of the rifle to at least $2k. Is that worth the cost? For me it was worth seeing his work and I am impressed. However I could have put together an LMR MARS or LWRC rifle for the same amount of cash...a fact I dilligently ignore.
