    The AC556 (AC stands for automatic carbine) can mostly be distinguished from the Mini 14 by the bayonet lug and of course the select fire trigger group.

    Must say I always found the stripping and reassembly of the darn things a real pain and schlep compared to AK's or any of the R series rifles.

    My take personal take on them is that this is one of those concepts that look good on paper in the movies, but sucks a bit in real life.
    I'll be damned. Thanks.

    That is pretty much what everyone says 7although much of what that link says is summed up with "aftermarket" while the Mini seems to deliver from the box.

    Personally, with the choice of gear in the USA I'd never even look at a Mini14, reliability, maintenance and spare mags seems to be an issue. AR all the way.

    Here in SA even further removed from the supply chain?

    There are a few guys in our club that have Mini 14s and they generally do ok with them. The number of AR's are slowly picking up, most still on R or LM. Getting aftermarket mods/parts for the Mini/R/LM seems to be a pain compared to AR, even Mini mags seem scarce at times. One thing bothers me though; the Mini's will sometimes penetrate plates that the other rifles will not, with the same ammo. Anyone that can explain this or is it just odd coincidence?

    Barrel length and twist could be a factor?
