mini 30 is chambered in 7.62x39 - hence, its 30 caliber..... not so popular as the 5.56 mini 14, as it was aimed at the "needs a ranch rifle for varmits with 4 or 2 legs " market, and then all those really cheap, reliable, and did I mention cheap, SKS's flooded the market, and pretty much became the whole freaking worlds truck gun, and for the upscale market wanting a detachable mag, there were the almost as cheap AK clones, which while still more expensive than the SKS, were still way cheaper than the mini-30....... the mini 14 STARTED cheaper than an AR, but that has since went away, and coupled with the fact that it is less than accurate, and that factory 20+ round mags are at least 50 bucks ( and 10- 15, maybe 20 bucks for an AR) both of them are sort of considered a bad choice/ unreasonably expensive for what they are, unless you stumble across a particularly great one, or just happen to love the way they handle.........
