the mini's have a pretty bad rep, that said, I also know a bunch of people that like theirs- the main ding against them lately is that the magazines are much pricier than the AR, its not as accurate as the AR, and while we are at it you CAN get an ar for around six hundred, if you buy a lower and then shop around for the upper- now I myself do not like the AR, so I do not have one,( I went AK instead) and the dominance of the AR makes it hard to hear about some of the other platforms over its roar... that said, some of my friends have had luck with the Kel Tec SU-16 - it takes AR mags and is not an ar variant, and is cheaper than the mini 14 by quite a bit........ and they can be had in a folding easy to pack variant.....
