Whatever. I still think it’s a handy little carbine as long as you respect its limitations.

Your original post mentioned the “action”. The action of the carbine and the Mini are the same.
And your next posts are completely correct. The individual parts of the Mini does share most of it’s origin to John Garand.

Thanks for the great insights everyone.
The more I look at brass availablity the less I’m interested in the 6.8mm. I have found a Rock River Lower and it is on its way to my FFL rep. I may give up and just get a 5.56 upper.
I’m very interested in the “other” AR-15 caliber, the 6.5 Grendel. Not easy uppers to obtain, but they are out there. 6.5 bullets are very readily available, and 7.62X39 brass can be used to form a Grendel case....... and it is pretty available. Better ballistics than the 5.56 by a long shot, less recoil than a 308. Many think that if the military were to start fresh they’d go with this round.
Oh, by the way....... I really like your cat!!

I bet you end up getting a weapon tossed to you, too. For a good solid warning and a now really motivated backup .... yeah I'll pass one down with no questions.

Maybe I’m weird ... but I like that thing, except for the damnable Kalifornia Grip. It would be a hoot to show up at the range with that ... freak people out.
