[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4054572, member: 45773"] I got one right after they went to the newer/current model. The Good: Nice gun. Something different. Ruger OEM 20-round mags are readily available. Boringly reliable* in terms of feeding, ejection, etc... The Bad: Price. They're really expensive for what they are. The Ugly: Mine functioned fine in terms of feeding and ejection with Russian steel-cased ammo. But the Russian stuff must have some really hard primers because mine had about a 50% failure to fire with the Russian ammo, even with what appeared to be very solid primer strikes. With any other type of ammo function was 100%. So, for me, that was a deal breaker. I suppose that might be fixable but the whole point of having it was to shoot cheap, commie ammo. I doubt I'd get another. I have two Mini-14s and love them both...an old one and a newer one. [/QUOTE]
