[QUOTE="Daryl Licht, post: 718935, member: 3330"] Buy a good AR lower, then buy a parts kit to complete the gun however you'd like it. From what I've seen, the wait time for a parts kit is fairly long but the price doesn't seem to have skyrocketed like assembled rifles has. You can get a pretty nice rifle for <$1000. Even the factory guns are getting more reasonable. Buy a dozen [I]good[/I] magazines for a $600 mini and a dozen for an $1000 AR. You'll be in for about the same money. Break a mini, and send it to Ruger for repair. Break your AR, get a part, replace it and continue shooting. The Mini-14 is a good rifle. If neither of the comments above mean anything to you it's probably a good choice for you. If you prefer the feel and features of an AR-15, why buy the Ruger, have buyer's remorse and sell it at a loss to buy the AR-15 anyway? The point here is, buy what you want instead of settling for something just because it's cheaper. I've done that way to many times to recommend it to anyone. [/QUOTE]
