Eaker, perhaps you would like to describe your experience with the Garand.

I dunno if you are directing this at me..but I have taken that action and had it right in the mud and dirt and it always fires. I have also gone and left it overnight without cleaning it after having it in the grime and it fired without fail. On purpose I left it like that for a few days to see if I could get it to malfunction and it didnt. I suppose if one left it for weeks one could get the garand action to fail..but thats a little extreme. Now to be sure, the one I own is stainless so it isnt suseptable to rust..but still. The only grind I have aginst the mini 14 is poor grouping. But what the heck..2-3 inch groups at 100 yards is good enough when your clicking off so many rounds. It aint no 06 remember. I bought it to have fun with.

I wish A person could have got about a thousand of those to our troups in Iraq while the big show was on. I bet they would have started fighting to have one. I know for a fact that these little buggers would have out performed the tinker toys they used as far as reliability.
