I've got both Mini-14's and a Mini-30. I've never had a feeding problen with any 14, but the 30 does occasionally fail, usually because of mag feeding problem, always with the larger (non-factory) clips. That said, I would recommend the 14. It is much easier to keep clean then an AR, and several hundred cheaper the a Bushmaster, and at least $400cheaper then a Colt.
Both .223 and 7.62x39 are $.45+/round, now, at gunshow today. It is what it is.
