Ruger Mini 30

Better quality
Shoot any ammo (I shoot Tula and silver bear, no issues)
More accessories/mods available
More accurate (based on my own personal experience)
Made in the USA

Mini 30 will kill your :donk:donk:donk with steel ammo...do some research. Had one for a week and damn near shot myself getting it unjammed.

My pick...SKS

AR-15. Built one year before last. Eats everything perfectly including cheap steel-cased communition, never had a glitch after about 1K rounds down the tube, and killed several deer with it so far. I got the upper from PSA.

SKS is a good little rifle, too, if you get one of the good ones. Ditto with AKs. Both are all over the place quality-wise depending on when and where they were made. Neither are nearly as accurate as the AR, but a good one of either is damn near indestructible. I like the mini-30, but as HotSoup said, they often don't work so great with the steel-case ammo, which makes it pretty useless in the caliber. May not be all of them, but I have had two friends who bought them, and both performed flawlessly with American brass ammo; but were unreliable as crap with Russian steel-cased stuff. Jams and failures to fire with the hard commie primers.

I have the older Ruger Mini-30. It will shoot the steel cased ruskie junk, but it sometimes shoots them in rapid succession.....it is very dangerous.
A good SKS is hard to beat for reliability.

AK all day long, if you want a mini get a mini 14. It will actually function with the ammo it is chambered for.
